The Priestly Writings of the Hebrew Bible constitute a repository of texts written at different times, by different authorships, with different agendas. Scholarship has long debated the relationships among priestly compositions in the Pentateuch and priestly texts such as the prophetic scroll of Ezekiel. This study seeks to describe the intertextual relationship among these texts through the lens of systems theory. Such analysis requires a full paradigm shift regarding the priestly literature in its various forms as the products of a singular religious system. Previously, scholarly observations of shifts in terminology or emphasis have been understood as the activity of different "schools." This study emphasizes that these perceived differences in no way undermine the singularity of the system from which they draw. It proposes that scholars view priestly texts as referring to a particular cultic system from various perspectives within that system. The differences among the Priestly literature, the Holiness writers of the Torah, and the text of Ezekiel stem from different solutions among various priestly groups attempting to ensure the survival of their priestly system in new societal environments. These variations in nomenclature and application of systemic structures, introduced over time, do not suggest the system's alteration. Instead, they represent groups within the system seeking to preserve the same system in changing contexts. The thesis employs a modified application of Niklas Luhmann's systems theory, in addition to other theorists in the field. By establishing that all priestly texts assume the same binary code (holy/common//pure/impure) and the same medium of communication (sacrifice) across different types of societies (social differentiation), the study reveals how the Priestly Writings of the Hebrew Bible negotiated the ongoing challenges of adapting the Israelite religious system to the crisis of Exile. A systems-theory approach offers biblical scholars a method of intertextual study which moves beyond micro-focused philological analysis to an understanding of the social forces behind textual production. The present discussion seeks to reveal how texts are the products of social systems, and do not constitute independent systems detached from social circumstances. This understanding allows us to make sense of the traditions which, on the surface, might appear to be at odds with the priestly corpus.
