Kurzfassung:
While Rupert's 12th-century antisemitic rhetoric has been noted in his later works, it is here focused on in his original interpretation of the biblical adultress (the "sotah") in Numbers 5:11-31 as symbolizing the synagogue. The Jews are thus associated with heretics, the previous referent of Christian biblical interpetation. The punishment for Jewish "adultery" (rejection of Jesus) is specified as the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem.
