Abstract

Abstract This article will explore how different contemporary groups of Israeli religious Zionists read and relate to the Biblical tales of Samson. Using current religious Zionist discourse (Bible lessons, newspaper articles and written opinion pieces) authored or delivered by leading rabbinic figures, this article will demonstrate how contemporary interpretations of the ‘Samson Saga’ (Judges 13–16) are used as a medium through which contemporary religious Zionists in Israel and the West Bank contest the meanings of political sovereignty, violence and personal ethics. More broadly, this article will argue that a focus on how sacred texts are interpreted, debated and contested in social contexts (or the ‘social life’ of a text) can offer scholars a thicker and more nuanced window into the varied ways in which religious nationalists grapple with competing political visions and desires.

以色列犹太复国主义拉比话语中萨姆森传奇的社会生活
摘要本文将探讨当代不同的以色列宗教犹太复国主义者群体如何阅读和理解《圣经》中的萨姆森故事。利用拉比领袖撰写或发表的当前宗教犹太复国主义话语(圣经课程、报纸文章和书面意见文章),本文将展示对《萨姆森传奇》(法官13-16)的当代解读是如何被用作以色列和约旦河西岸当代宗教犹太复国主义者对政治主权、暴力和个人道德含义进行质疑的媒介。更广泛地说,这篇文章将认为,关注神圣文本在社会背景下(或文本的“社会生活”)是如何被解读、辩论和争论的,可以为学者们提供一个更厚、更细致的窗口,让他们了解宗教民族主义者如何应对相互竞争的政治愿景和欲望。
