Kozlowski; Sławomir Poloczek;Abstract Scholars have long recognized the narrative similarities between the story of the Aqedah (Gen 22:1–19) and Euripides’s Iphigenia in Aulis. The aim of this paper is to present the most plausible explanation of the similarities between these narratives: Aqedah’s dependence upon Euripides’s tragedy.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2024Publisher:Brill Authors: Phillip M. Lasater;Phillip M. Lasater;Abstract This paper discusses how Ps 40 reflects a widely attested and complex discourse on how legalities relate to the human self—a discourse involving matters such as law’s relation to human flourishing and perfectibility (e.g., Deut 30:6–14; Jer 31:31–34; Ps 19; Wis 6 and 9; Philo; for others views of perfectibility, cf. Gen 6:5; 8:21; Qoh 9:3). Psalm 40 combines praise and lament, with divine law as a key factor in this liturgical text’s logic. After clarifying literary-historical and form-critical issues in studies of Ps 40, it will be argued that whether or not there is a literary relationship to Jer 31, these texts display divergent logic on law’s relationship to human flourishing. The paper contributes to scholarly understanding of legal discourse and lament in Jewish antiquity.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2024Publisher:Brill Authors: Samuel Hildebrandt;Samuel Hildebrandt;Abstract In comparison to research on the Psalms, Isaiah, and other prophetic books, the mythic portrayal of YHWH’s combat of chaotic opposition has received little attention in the study of Jeremiah. By drawing up a holistic profile of Jeremiah’s Chaoskampf, my article demonstrates that this theme is more central to this prophetic book than the scholarly landscape might suggest. Divine mastery of various manifestations of chaos plays a key role in how the book presents YHWH’s work in creation (past), YHWH’s judgment on Israel (present), and YHWH’s defeat of Israel’s enemies and the people’s restoration (future). In conversation with myth and trauma theory, I will argue that the tension between YHWH’s unleashing and quenching of chaotic forces is rooted in the flexible character of the combat myth and that it contributes to the book’s efforts of explaining the crisis of 587 BCE.

The end to which he applied the tools of the wise was, however, far from typical. Where the counsel of the sages generally emphasized prudence and conformity, Ezekiel deployed sapiential speech forms within a disruptive rhetorical strategy designed to subvert debased institutions, delusional cult ideology, and aggrandizing historical narrative. This essay examines two examples from the prophet’s extensive repertoire, highlighting his idiosyncratic but devastatingly effective use of satire.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2023Publisher:Brill Authors: Hananel Shapira;Hananel Shapira;Abstract Through a literary-historical analysis of a specific excerpt (Jer 25:15–29) from the book of Jeremiah, this article argues that the elements present in the Masoretic Text but absent in the Septuagint are likely part of a more original version of the text. This conclusion challenges Stipp’s pre-Masoretic Idiolect theory, which posits that these elements always indicate the general priority of the Septuagint. Instead, this article suggests that Stipp’s theory oversimplifies the nuances of each occurrence, and that each textual unit should be analyzed independently. The origins of Stipp’s pre-Masoretic idiolect might emerge from the cases in which MT’s priority is to be preferred.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2023Publisher:Brill Publicly fundedAuthors: Vasile A. Condrea;Vasile A. Condrea;Abstract For some time, linguists have agreed that (1) English is an SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) language and that (2) the purpose of this order is to indicate the difference between “John loves Mary” and “Mary loves John.” In contrast, Hebraists are still debating the first item. According to Holmstedt, Biblical Hebrew is an SVO language with the Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) order being “triggered” from SVO. By contrast, Hornkohl, Khan, and van der Merwe maintain that Biblical Hebrew is a VSO language with the SVO being the “marked” order. Hebraists rely on linguistic methods to answer these questions. This article evaluates the claims of the abovementioned authors from two perspectives: whether the linguistic methods they use are compatible (some approaches do not work well together) and whether the principles of their chosen linguistic method are followed. Suggestions for improvement for Khan and van der Merwe’s model are included.

Kozlowski; Sławomir Poloczek;Abstract Scholars have long recognized the narrative similarities between the story of the Aqedah (Gen 22:1–19) and Euripides’s Iphigenia in Aulis. The aim of this paper is to present the most plausible explanation of the similarities between these narratives: Aqedah’s dependence upon Euripides’s tragedy.

Lasater;Abstract This paper discusses how Ps 40 reflects a widely attested and complex discourse on how legalities relate to the human self—a discourse involving matters such as law’s relation to human flourishing and perfectibility (e.g., Deut 30:6–14; Jer 31:31–34; Ps 19; Wis 6 and 9; Philo; for others views of perfectibility, cf. Gen 6:5; 8:21; Qoh 9:3). Psalm 40 combines praise and lament, with divine law as a key factor in this liturgical text’s logic. After clarifying literary-historical and form-critical issues in studies of Ps 40, it will be argued that whether or not there is a literary relationship to Jer 31, these texts display divergent logic on law’s relationship to human flourishing. The paper contributes to scholarly understanding of legal discourse and lament in Jewish antiquity.

By drawing up a holistic profile of Jeremiah’s Chaoskampf, my article demonstrates that this theme is more central to this prophetic book than the scholarly landscape might suggest. Divine mastery of various manifestations of chaos plays a key role in how the book presents YHWH’s work in creation (past), YHWH’s judgment on Israel (present), and YHWH’s defeat of Israel’s enemies and the people’s restoration (future). In conversation with myth and trauma theory, I will argue that the tension between YHWH’s unleashing and quenching of chaotic forces is rooted in the flexible character of the combat myth and that it contributes to the book’s efforts of explaining the crisis of 587 BCE.

The end to which he applied the tools of the wise was, however, far from typical. Where the counsel of the sages generally emphasized prudence and conformity, Ezekiel deployed sapiential speech forms within a disruptive rhetorical strategy designed to subvert debased institutions, delusional cult ideology, and aggrandizing historical narrative. This essay examines two examples from the prophet’s extensive repertoire, highlighting his idiosyncratic but devastatingly effective use of satire.

This conclusion challenges Stipp’s pre-Masoretic Idiolect theory, which posits that these elements always indicate the general priority of the Septuagint. Instead, this article suggests that Stipp’s theory oversimplifies the nuances of each occurrence, and that each textual unit should be analyzed independently. The origins of Stipp’s pre-Masoretic idiolect might emerge from the cases in which MT’s priority is to be preferred.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2023Publisher:Brill Publicly fundedAuthors: Vasile A. Condrea;Vasile A. Condrea;Abstract For some time, linguists have agreed that (1) English is an SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) language and that (2) the purpose of this order is to indicate the difference between “John loves Mary” and “Mary loves John.” In contrast, Hebraists are still debating the first item. According to Holmstedt, Biblical Hebrew is an SVO language with the Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) order being “triggered” from SVO. By contrast, Hornkohl, Khan, and van der Merwe maintain that Biblical Hebrew is a VSO language with the SVO being the “marked” order. Hebraists rely on linguistic methods to answer these questions. This article evaluates the claims of the abovementioned authors from two perspectives: whether the linguistic methods they use are compatible (some approaches do not work well together) and whether the principles of their chosen linguistic method are followed. Suggestions for improvement for Khan and van der Merwe’s model are included.
