This analysis focuses on the torah as a speech act in postexilic literature, highlighting exile's influence on its productive force and covenantal presence.

Key Points

The concept of torah functions as a speech act, generating a significant presence through language and context.
The analysis demonstrates that the phrase 'the torah of Moses' operates as a discursive reliquary, emphasizing themes of covenant and obscurity.
This investigation spans moments in Ezra-Nehemiah, illustrating how torah's lack of direct citation enriches its generative power.
Understanding torah's activating sign reveals the complexities of covenant relation post-exile, suggesting further implications for textual interpretation.
