“…They become recipients of the divinely-provided blessing, celebrating YHWH's rich feast." 21 The goals of Isa 25:6-8 and Deut 12:13-19 are in fact quite similar, and they may well be from the same period. It is true that the divine banqueting motif spans various periods, but it so happens that the social function of the banquet in Isa 25:6 presented here is precisely the same as the one Altmann perceives in Deuteronomy 12: to offer YHWH's yoke to the former Northern Kingdom in place of Assyria's and to create fictive kinship through political ritual.…”

Isaiah 24–27 has been an enduring mystery for scholars of the book. Contrary to theories that it is the latest part of the book, it is not apocalyptic; its imagery of divine feasting and conquering death have very ancient cognates; and its Hebrew language does not indicate lateness. The passage celebrates the receding power of Assyria in Judah, and especially from the citadel at Ramat Raḥel near Jerusalem, in the late seventh century. This was the time of King Josiah and his scribes, who saw a political opportunity and issued an overture to the former northern kingdom: “Make peace with me!”

The article examines the role and existence of sharing meal ritual. At least, so to speak, there are two functions of the ritual, i.e. on the one hand, as a cultural strategy to maintain social cohesion. On the other hand, it reflects differences within the community which potential for conflict. Differences and commonalities might be regarded as a dynamic and complex process within a community. The sharing meal ritual contains varying materials and ideals of societal life, which can be seen collectively both through actual and symbolic meanings. The meanings emerge from social ideas and undergoing through their daily societal life, which influence and have been influenced by their view in order to manage a common living space. These complexities of meal tradition need to be explored to be understood.
