Abstract:Responding to JoAnna Hoyt's article in the 2020 volume of Hebrew Studies, as well as to her earlier publication, we discuss her insistence that Israel's repentance plays no role in the book of Judges as an example of theologically driven eisegesis, sustainable only by cherry-picking of evidence and faulty philology and leading to absurdity and self-contradiction on multiple counts.
