Megan B. Turton is a Lecturer in Hebrew Bible and Language at Whitley College, the University of Divinity, Melbourne. With a previous degree in law, her research focuses on the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, biblical and ancient Near Eastern law, and the legal texts of the late Second Temple period. Her doctoral dissertation, “Continuity or Contrast? The Character and Extent of Legal versus Narrative Textual Variation in the Hebrew Manuscripts of Exodus 19–24,” completed through the University of Sydney, will be published in the Mohr Siebeck series, Forschungen zum Alten Testament. It investigates the character and extent of textual fluidity in the laws and narratives of Exodus 19–24, and evaluates the implications of textual diversity for understanding the character, purpose, and function of biblical law.
