    Abstract: The story of Abraham’s willingness to give up his beloved son (Gen. 22) is a highly productive text – that is, it has triggered subsequent literary activity and played a significant role in the composition and shaping of other texts. In this essay, I want to first explore the possibility that 1 Kgs 17–18 is yet another text in which an author has alluded to Gen. 22 and then to reflect on the use of Gen. 22 as a source for narratives composed on analogies to it.

    Abstract: Scrutiny of the traditional textual divisions of the Hebrew version of the book of Esther—the sedarim, the Hebrew paragraphs and the Latin chapters – throws light on whom some ancient readers thought was the main character (protagonist) of the book. The sedarim appear to favour Mordecai’s role over Esther’s in the events narrated, whereas the positioning of the Hebrew paragraph breaks apportions attention more evenly between Esther and Mordecai, who each sought the welfare of the Jewish people. The chapter divisions show an interest in all three leading characters namely, Esther, Mordecai and Ahasuerus. In terms of assigned titles, the book was given the alternate names of Esther and Ahasuerus. It is plain, therefore, that early readers did not come to a settled conclusion as to who is the main character; however, it is clear that the role of Ahasuerus cannot be ignored and that the Persian king must be a candidate for the main character of the book.

    Ceremonial celebrations outside the Temple compound in Ezra-Nehemiah in Babylonian ritual context. (2021)

    Abstract: The article examines three Judean rituals described in Ezra-Nehemiah—the erection of the altar, the public reading of the Torah, and the inauguration of the Jerusalem wall—in the Neo-Babylonian–Persian context. It suggests that the Babylonian rituals observed throughout the Long Sixth Century shed light on, and constitute a relevant cultural context for consideration of these celebrations as described in Ezra-Nehemiah, which took place in Judah in the seventh month.

    Keywords: Westermann, Claus ; Bible Criticism, interpretation, etc. 20th century ; History ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. 20th century ; History ; Laments in the Bible ; Psychic trauma
    Abstract: The work of Claus Westermann was foundational for the modern study of lament literature in the Hebrew Bible. Westermann’s work on the Psalms arose from his experiences in the Second World War, where he learned to value both the praise and the lament elements of the Psalms. This article reconsiders Westermann’s contribution to the theology of lament in light of contemporary theory on the impact of trauma on individuals, focussing on the understanding of the impact of traumatic experience on the assumptive world of those who suffer. There are significant points of correspondence between the two, demonstrating anew the insights of Westermann’s work.

    The ancestors’ masculinities in Genesis. (2021)

    Keywords: Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Masculinity in the Bible ; Gentiles Biblical teaching
    Abstract: In Genesis, many of the male protagonists represent different peoples in the Levant and their relationships among each other. How those ancestors perform as ‘masculine’ men reflects the notion of the masculinity of the peoples descending from them, formulated from an Israelite/Judahite point of view. While the ancestors of Israel and Judah (Seth, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) perform a certain masculine style, which can be labelled as pious, peaceful, gentle, smart and cultivated, the ancestors of neighbouring peoples (Ham, Lot, Ishmael, Esau) are portrayed as wild or sexually perverted but also aggressive, dominant or hypermasculine. The authors perceive their own people in a historically realistic way; they are no super-men. However, their masculine performance is favoured throughout and even divinely approved.

    Abstract: Because of Protestant modernism’s reconstrual of older Protestant views of inspiration around the Romantic notion of the male charismatic prophet, it unintentionally opened doors for the latent gender inequality of its misogynist cultural context when interpreting female religious activity in the prophets. Because of Protestant modernism’s inability to distinguish itself from its 19th-20th century social elite status, it can end up enabling gender stereotypes of its time and thus engage in unexamined gender bias. Vestiges at times remain in literature that assumes the non- or reduced agency of women in Israelite religion. This is a case study in one of the founders of historical-critical Jeremiah study, Sigmund Mowinckel, focusing not on Protestant modernism broadly but rather on Mowinckel’s clear expression of the modernist Protestant notion of the inspiration of sacred speech.
    Note: Includes an appendix with an annotated English translation of the chapter (pp. 223-229).

    Keywords: Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Concubinage Biblical teaching ; Intertextuality in the Bible ; Liminality in the Bible ; Women in the Bible
    Abstract: This article proposes an intertextual-synchronic reading of the book of Ruth and the story of the concubine of Gibeah in Judges 19. Although previous scholars have compared these two stories, they have ignored the theme of liminality, which is critical to their proper understanding. After highlighting the literary similarities between these two stories, I discuss these stories’ different manifestations of liminality—identic, temporal, and spatial. This highlights the shared central question of both stories: How can the female protagonist, a stranger to her surroundings, cross the threshold to a secure space—home? Can she traverse the precarious night and see the light of day? I illustrate how the stories act as foils to each other by representing opposite portrayals of societal behavior and final outcomes for the female protagonist. I conclude by showing how this new reading lets us better see the moral message of each story.

    Keywords: Solomon, ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Wisdom Biblical teaching ; Heart Biblical teaching ; Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism)
    Abstract: The subject of embodiment has become a popular topic in biblical scholarship in general and in studies of kingship in particular. Despite the lack of an explicit characterization of Solomon via a commentary on his body, his material is not entirely devoid of body politics. This article explores the construction of Solomon’s wisdom in 1 Kings 1–11 via bodily features associated with epistemological processes. Against the backdrop of ANE conceptualizations of wisdom, it analyses ways in which 1 Kings inflates Solomon’s powers of discernment by means of rhetorically enlarged body parts and the conflation of functions of organs of cognition. In the broader context of his reign, these elements of corporeality underscore Solomon’s misappropriated wisdom, leading to the deconstruction of his royal ideology.

    Keywords: Josephus, Flavius ; Uzziah, ; Uzziah, In post-biblical literature ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism) ; Leprosy in the Bible
    Abstract: This article explores how the motif of Uzziah’s צרעת‎ in 2 Kgs. 15:1-7 has inspired the Chronicler, Josephus, and rabbinic commentators. In the Book of Kings, Uzziah’s disorder is used to explain an abnormal political arrangement in which the crown prince served as co-regent. The Chronicler, by contrast, takes Uzziah’s disorder as an opportunity to expound on the king’s sacrilegious behavior. The Chronistic tradition is further developed by Josephus and the rabbis who reinterpret Uzziah’s צרעת‎ as sign of an abnormal emotional life. Consequently, each source displays its own understanding of צרעת‎ and its implications concerning the king’s conduct and character. These differences in the depiction of Uzziah’s disease point to dissimilar frameworks of interpretation which are motivated by different attitudes toward the temple and the Davidic Dynasty.

    Keywords: Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Tell el-Amarna tablets ; Hatsor (Extinct city) (Israel) History ; Eretz Israel History To 1200 B.C.
    Abstract: The present study presents an alternative model of pre-monarchic Israel’s political organization in tandem with an investigation into the role of place in the preservation of memory that explains how and why the tradition of Hazor’s demise was included in the Bible. Corresponding to the type of decentralized political organization attested in the Amarna letters, the core narratives in Judges depict Israel as a confederation of independent entities whose concerns revolved around local affairs. As the identity of Israel evolved over time, the memories of the most significant of these affairs were retained, often with the aid of material remains in the familiar landscape. The apparent injunction against building over Hazor’s 13th century palace ruins during Israel’s subsequent occupation and the inclusion of Hazor’s destruction from competing perspectives in the Bible suggest that it was an important event in Israel’s history, even if the entirety of Israel was not involved.
