Abstract

In the Ancient Israel, holy war was, according to Gerhard Von Rad, understood as “an eminently cultic undertaking, that is, prescribed
and sanctioned by fixed, traditional, sacred rites and observances” 1. As a cultic act of religious community, its feature
was the demand for faith in Yahweh’s saving power (the Lord said  to David): “I will deliver your enemy into your grasp”(1Sam 24:5).
