Frevel: https://www.academia.edu/2133489/Purity\_Conceptions\_in\_the\_Book\_of\_Numbers\_in\_Context Unfortunately I couldn't find Nihan's contribution to the Brill book. Maybe I made that up, that it's on academia.edu. This is also a fascinating read, though it's not in this Brill volume (just an individual article; read the abstract): https://www.academia.edu/7420930/The\_Semantics\_of\_Purity\_in\_the\_Ancient\_Near\_East\_Lexical\_Meaning\_as\_a\_Projection\_of\_Embodied\_Experience
A good place to start on this issue from a theological, social and psychological view point is the research of Richard Beck. http://experimentaltheology.blogspot.it/2011/03/unclean-meditations-on-purity.html
