Abstract

This article places three Jewish exegetes of Gen 2:7 in conversation—Paul, Philo, and the authors of the Hodayot. This exercise of comparative exegesis hopes to caution overly ambitious parallels between Paul and his contemporaries. When discussions of Philo or the Hodayot serve the end of clarifying Paul’s otherwise cryptic treatise on the resurrection, the results have yielded, at times, similarities between Paul and his contemporaries at the cost of evaluating each author’s critical differences. Instead, this article examines the exegesis of three Jewish readers of one text, Gen 2:7, each on his own terms, in an attempt to avoid mapping one interpreter’s exegesis onto another’s. Each of these three Jewish readers appeal to Gen 2:7 for answers related to anthropology and the afterlife. By placing Paul alongside two other Jewish readers of the same text, this article highlights their similarities while also appreciating their differences.

创世纪2:7对话:保罗、非罗和荷大约的注释
这篇文章将创世纪2:7的三位犹太注释者——保罗、非罗和《何大约》的作者——置于对话中。这种比较释经的练习,希望能警告保罗和他同时代人之间过于雄心勃勃的相似之处。当讨论菲罗或《何达约》的目的是为了澄清保罗关于复活的晦涩论文时,结果有时会产生保罗和他同时代人之间的相似之处,而代价是评估每个作者的关键差异。相反,这篇文章考察了三位犹太读者对同一段经文(创世记2:7)的注释,每个人都有自己的解释,试图避免将一个解释者的注释映射到另一个解释者的注释上。这三位犹太读者都从创世记2:7中寻求与人类学和来世有关的答案。通过将保罗与另外两位阅读同一文本的犹太读者放在一起,本文强调了他们的相似之处,同时也欣赏了他们的差异。
