The question of an alleged resurrection in Jubilees 23:29–31 朱比利记》23:29-31 中所谓的复活问题

The scholarly community has generally concluded that Jub. 23:29–31 does not envision a resurrection of the dead. There are those who doubt the consensus, however. The question has implications for the debate over the existence of a so-called spiritual (non-bodily) resurrection in Second Temple Judaism. There is a fundamental distinction in the text between the Lord’s servants (ʾagbertihu) who have long lives on the earth and the righteous (s.ādeqān) whose bones rest in the earth while their spirits observe the servants. Consequently, any attempt to isolate a spiritual resurrection in Jub. 23:29–31 fails.
学术界普遍认为,《雅各书》23:29-31 并未设想死人复活。23:29-31 并没有设想死人复活。不过,也有人对这一共识表示怀疑。这个问题对第二圣殿犹太教中是否存在所谓的灵性(非肉体)复活的争论产生了影响。在经文中,主的仆人(ʾagbertihu)和义人(s.ādeqān)有着根本的区别,前者长寿于世,后者的骸骨安息于地,而他们的灵魂则观察着仆人。因此,任何试图在《雅各书》23:29-31 中分离出精神复活的尝试都是失败的。23:29-31 都是失败的。

A missing meal of reconciliation: The consumption of food as deficient motif in the Joseph story and its resolution in Jubilees and Josephus 缺失的和解之餐:约瑟夫故事中作为缺陷主题的食物消费及其在《朱比利斯书》和《约瑟夫书》中的解决之道

Food plays an important role in the Joseph story. Although other themes offer valuable insights as well, the theme of table fellowship is at the heart of the story’s main theme because sharing a table and what is on it shows mutual recognition and signifies thus much more than the mere consumption of food. In the Joseph story, we have two occurrences of joint meals: Gen 37:25 and Gen 43:31–34. Whereas the first is a clear sign of Joseph’s isolation and the rupture of the brothers’ relationship, the second meal cannot be understood as an actual meal of reconciliation as some do. In order to make table fellowship a coherent theme from isolation to inclusion, the Joseph story in Genesis lacks a third meal of peace and reconciliation at which the brothers are reunited. However, if we look across canonical boundaries, we find that Jubilees as well as Josephus’s Antiquities incorporate this third meal into the story. In this way, the biblical story is continued productively, and the theme of table fellowship, which is anticipated in Genesis, is expanded into a comprehensive motif.
食物在约瑟的故事中扮演着重要的角色。虽然其他主题也提供了宝贵的启示,但餐桌上的友谊是故事主题的核心,因为共享餐桌和餐桌上的食物表明了相互认可,其意义远远超出了单纯的食物消费。在约瑟的故事中,我们有两次共同进餐的经历:创 37:25 和创 43:31-34。第一次是约瑟孤立无援、兄弟关系破裂的明显标志,而第二次聚餐则不能像有些人所理解的那样,是真正的和解之餐。为了使餐桌团契成为一个从孤立到包容的连贯主题,《创世纪》中的约瑟故事缺少了兄弟团聚的和平与和解的第三餐。然而,如果我们跨越圣经的界限,就会发现《朱比利传》和约瑟夫的《古迹》都将这第三餐融入了故事中。这样,《圣经》故事就得到了富有成效的延续,《创世纪》中预示的 "餐桌团聚 "主题也扩展为一个综合主题。

The dilemma of King David: Reading Josephus’ Antiquities against the grain through the lens of Greco-Roman tyrant typologies 大卫王的两难处境:从希腊罗马暴君类型学的角度解读约瑟夫斯的《古事记

King David is the ideal Jewish monarch for Josephus no less than in the Hebrew Bible. Yet, the scriptural stories of David’s life are punctuated by dark episodes which subsequent writers and readers have struggled to integrate with their elevated vision of a noble king. In this study, I argue that the difficulties of persuading Josephus’ readers in Antiquities that the famed dynastic founder was noble, virtuous, and an ideal leader were even more exacerbated. Reading Josephus’ David against the grain of his authorial cues reveals the danger that lay beneath the apologetic veneer: a figure that a Greco-Roman audience could potentially identify as a tyrant. I analyze Josephus’ account of King David under the rubric of four common Greco-Roman typologies of the stock tyrant, showing that several stories of David conform in many respects to the tyrannical stereotype. Even Josephus’ own alterations, omissions, and additions to the scriptural accounts of David could, at times, have unintentionally worked counter to his apologetic agenda and reinforced a reading of David as a tyrannical figure. Survey of tyrants in Greco-Roman literature confirms my reading as a real possibility, while parallels between David and Herod in Antiquities cement the threat of Josephus’ readers parting ways with his apologetic efforts to present David as the most admirable of kings.
大卫王是约瑟夫心目中理想的犹太君主,在希伯来圣经中也是如此。然而,《圣经》中关于大卫生平的故事充满了黑暗的情节,后来的作家和读者一直在努力将这些情节与他们对高贵国王的崇高理想结合起来。在本研究中,我认为要说服约瑟夫斯在《古迹》中的读者相信这位著名的王朝建立者是高尚、贤德和理想的领袖,其难度甚至更大。在阅读约瑟夫斯笔下的大卫时,如果违背了他的写作线索,就会发现在其充满歉意的外衣下隐藏着危险:希腊罗马的读者有可能将大卫认定为暴君。我根据希腊罗马常见的四种暴君类型来分析约瑟夫斯对大卫王的描述,结果表明大卫的几个故事在很多方面都符合暴君的刻板印象。即使是约瑟夫自己对圣经中关于大卫的记载所做的改动、遗漏和增补,有时也可能无意中违背了他的辩护议程,并强化了对大卫作为暴君形象的解读。对希腊罗马文学中暴君的调查证实了我的解读是真实可能的,而《古迹》中大卫与希律王之间的相似之处则增强了约瑟夫的读者与他的辩护努力分道扬镳的威胁,他的辩护努力是将大卫描述成最令人钦佩的国王。

Kings from the Sun: Usages of an Eastern title in the Sibylline Oracles and related material 来自太阳的国王西伯利亚神谕》及相关资料中东方称谓的用法

The title “King from the Sun”—in the sense of a deliverance royal figure that will come from the Sun—appears repeatedly within apocalyptic literature throughout varied historic periods, albeit in slightly different depictions. We shall consider for this analysis how coming “from the Sun” and “from the East” are not synonymous and how the personalities, so to speak, of these anointed kings in the sources differ from one another. The present article examines and compares the usage and significance of the title in the Sibylline Oracles (Sib. Or. 3.652-656 and Sib. Or. 13.147-171) and in other oracular texts from the Hellenistic and the Roman periods (the Oracle of the Potter, which is Egyptian and Apoc. El. (C) 2.44-46, which is not a Sib. Or. passage). This parallel is drawn not only due to the fact that we are dealing with different primary materials, but also because in each case a different referent is intended—the “King from the Sun” is a different savior in each of the texts examined.
来自太阳的国王 "这一称谓--意指来自太阳的拯救王者--在不同历史时期的世界末日文学中反复出现,尽管描述略有不同。在分析中,我们将考虑 "来自太阳 "和 "来自东方 "如何并非同义词,以及这些受膏之王在文献中的个性如何彼此不同。本文研究并比较了《西庇阿神谕》(Sib. Or. 3.652-656 和 Sib. Or. 13.147-171)以及希腊和罗马时期其他神谕文本(《陶工神谕》,埃及和 Apoc. El.(C) 2.44-46,这不是 Sib. Or. 的段落)。Or.经文)。之所以有这样的相似之处,不仅是因为我们面对的是不同的原始材料,而且还因为在每种情况下都有不同的所指--"太阳王 "在每种文本中都是不同的救世主。

Recent research on the so-called Life of Joseph also known as In pulcherrimum Ioseph 对所谓的《约瑟夫的一生》(又称《约瑟夫的一生》)的最新研究
IF 0.3 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2024-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/09518207241252540
Angela Standhartinger
In pulcherrimum Ioseph (IpJ), a retelling of the life of “the most beautiful Joseph,” appears among the Greek writings of the Syriac Church Father Ephraem and is preserved in at least seven languages: Greek, Latin, Coptic, Armenian, Arabic, Slavonic, and Georgian. Most scholars agree that The Life of Joseph/In pulcherrimum Ioseph was neither written by Ephraem nor in Syriac but was originally written in Greek. Some find, however, a substantial overlap with the Syriac Joseph traditions. A Greek papyrus from the sixth to seventh century provides the earliest material evidence. Beyond the first 120 lines of the Joseph-Christ typology, the retelling of the Joseph story contains no unambiguous Christian features. This article argues that the text is likely a composition of three different parts. After introducing IpJ and its characteristics, I present an overview of manuscripts and editions to illustrate its extraordinary popularity and several Sitz im Leben of this particular Joseph story. Finally, I will return to the question of provenance and place this specific retelling of Gen 37–46 within Jewish and Christian debates on the biblical Joseph.
In pulcherrimum Ioseph (IpJ)》重述了 "最美的约瑟夫 "的一生,出现在叙利亚教会神父埃夫拉姆的希腊文著作中,至少有七种语言版本:该书至少有七种语言版本:希腊语、拉丁语、科普特语、亚美尼亚语、阿拉伯语、斯拉夫语和格鲁吉亚语。大多数学者都认为,《约瑟夫的生平/In pulcherrimum Ioseph》既不是埃夫拉伊姆写的,也不是用叙利亚文写的,而是最初用希腊文写的。不过,有些学者发现,《约瑟夫传》与叙利亚文的《约瑟夫传》有大量重叠。六至七世纪的希腊纸莎草纸提供了最早的物证。除了约瑟-基督类型学的前 120 行之外,约瑟故事的复述并不包含明确的基督教特征。本文认为,该文本很可能是由三个不同部分组成的。在介绍了 IpJ 及其特点后,我概述了手稿和版本,以说明其非凡的受欢迎程度和这个特殊约瑟故事的几个生活场景。最后,我将回到出处问题,并将创 37-46 章的这一特定复述置于犹太教和基督教关于圣经中约瑟的辩论中。

The three colors of humanity: Early Jewish race-making in 1 Enoch’s Animal Apocalypse 人类的三种颜色以诺书 1 的《动物启示录》中早期犹太人的种族划分

Over the past several decades since Frank Snowden published his seminal monograph Blacks in Antiquity, scholars have become increasingly interested in understanding the ethnic and racial frameworks deployed by ancient peoples. The intersections of race, color, and ethnicity in classical literature have long been debated, but ancient Jewish texts tend to be left out of these discussions. In this article, I first analyze 1 Enoch’s Animal Apocalypse against the backdrop of Hellenistic-era environmental theory to show that it displays early forms of race-making through its differentiation of colored bulls. Although leading commentaries offered by Nickelsburg and Tiller reject racial readings of the Animal Apocalypse’s colored bulls, Matthew Black’s commentary from the 1980s does not. I show that ancient Hellenistic conceptions of peoples’ color, ethnicity, and behaviors shaped by environmental determinism support Matthew Black’s framework for understanding the Animal Apocalypse’s use of color, namely his equating of Chapter 89’s black bull with Ham, contra Nickelsburg and Tiller. Second, I stress that the Animal Apocalypse’s schema of colored bulls reflects the view that all of humanity derives from white, red, and black ancestors and that this ordering of the three colors constitutes a hierarchal sequencing of humankind, classified into three different types of people in descending order.
自弗兰克-斯诺登(Frank Snowden)出版其开创性专著《古代黑人》(Blacks in Antiquity)以来的几十年间,学者们对了解古代人所使用的民族和种族框架越来越感兴趣。关于古典文学中种族、肤色和民族的交叉点的讨论由来已久,但古代犹太文献往往被排除在这些讨论之外。在本文中,我首先以希腊化时代的环境理论为背景,分析了《以诺一书》中的《动物启示录》,说明它通过对有色公牛的区分,展示了早期的种族制造形式。尽管尼克尔斯伯格和蒂勒提供的主要注释拒绝对《动物启示录》中的有色公牛进行种族解读,但马修-布莱克(Matthew Black)在 20 世纪 80 年代的注释却没有这样做。我表明,古希腊人对肤色、种族和由环境决定论塑造的行为的观念支持马修-布莱克理解《动物启示录》使用肤色的框架,即他将第 89 章的黑公牛等同于含,这与尼克尔斯堡和蒂勒的观点相反。其次,我强调《动物启示录》的有色公牛模式反映了这样一种观点,即全人类的祖先分别来自白色、红色和黑色,这三种颜色的排序构成了人类的等级排序,按降序分为三种不同类型的人。

The necessity of form and spatial content for defining “apocalypse” and “apocalyptic” 形式和空间内容对界定 "启示录 "和 "世界末日 "的必要性

The Semeia 14 definition of apocalypse defined apocalypses as a constellation of form, temporal content, and spatial content, but temporal content (particularly eschatological features) remains the dominant lens through which the genre of apocalypse and related texts are understood. Defining apocalypses primarily in terms of eschatology, however, narrows the definition of apocalypse and dismisses some texts that reflect non-eschatological features of apocalypses. Form and spatial content are often neglected in the examination of apocalypses and “apocalyptic” texts. When we pay attention to form and spatial content, along with temporal content, new horizons open for considering what may be considered apocalypse-like. Jubilees and the Gospel of John are presented as two examples of revelatory texts that reflect the form and spatial content of apocalypses.
Semeia 14 对启示录的定义将启示录界定为形式、时间内容和空间内容的组合,但时间内容(尤其是末世论特征)仍是理解启示录体裁和相关文本的主要视角。然而,主要从末世论的角度来定义启示录,会缩小启示录的定义范围,并忽略一些反映启示录非末世论特征的文本。在研究世界末日和 "世界末日 "文本时,形式和空间内容往往被忽视。当我们关注形式和空间内容以及时间内容时,我们就能打开新的视野,考虑哪些内容可被视为类似于启示录。本文以《朱比利斯书》和《约翰福音》为例,介绍了反映启示录形式和空间内容的两部启示录。

Although shrouded in mystery, the oracles of the high priest (Urim and Thummim) have often been the subject of curious interest in the literature of the Second Temple, as well as in the Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum (L.A.B.). The present research studies the mentions of this device in Pseudo-Philo’s narrative to shed new light on its configuration, role, and function. Despite the attempts made by recent scholarship to distinguish and separate them from the priestly attire, the most plausible hypothesis is to consider Pseudo-Philo’s understanding of Urim and Thummim as light-giving stones, closely related to the ephod, used by the high priest especially when he has to exercise judgment. Thus, such objects gain importance in reconstructing the peculiar significance of priesthood in L.A.B. In this framework, the strange narrative of L.A.B. 25–26 about the idolatrous stones replaced by new luminous ones becomes more intelligible.
大祭司的神谕(Urim and Thummim)虽然被蒙上了一层神秘的面纱,但在第二圣殿的文献以及《圣经古籍》(Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum,L.A.B.)中却常常引起人们好奇的兴趣。本研究对伪菲罗叙述中提到的这一装置进行了研究,以揭示其构造、作用和功能。尽管最近的学术研究试图将它们与祭司的服饰区分开来,但最合理的假设是将伪毗罗对乌陵和图们密的理解视为与以弗得密切相关的发光石,尤其是在大祭司需要做出判断时使用。因此,这些物品在重构《圣经》中神职的特殊意义方面具有重要意义。在这一框架下,《圣经》第 25-26 章中关于偶像崇拜的石头被新的发光石头取代的奇怪叙述就变得更加容易理解了。

“Like one of the glorious ones”: The transformation of Enoch in 2 Enoch 22 "像荣耀者中的一员":以诺书》22 中以诺的转变

The common assertions that Enoch in 2 Enoch is transformed into an angel, if not something more, are shown to lack support from the key bases on which this assertion is made, namely, his standing in the divine presence, the “sounding out” or testing of the angels to his entry into the divine presence, and his change of clothing for priestly service. Moreover, scholarly assertions of Enoch’s “angelic transformation” do not cohere with the clear emphases he later makes to his family of his shared humanity with them. Much of this misreading of the portrayal of Enoch in this book may owe to retrojections of later Hekhalot mysticism back into the book in an effort to discern a “line of development” or trajectory from 1 Enoch to 3 Enoch. Such a trajectory can be warranted only on the basis of a coherent portrayal of Enoch as he is presented in 2 Enoch. There he is clearly depicted as a man who is glorified among the angels but who remains a human being. While Enoch may be “angelomorphic” in having some of the various forms and functions of an angel, even though not explicitly called an “angel” or considered to have the created nature of an angel, this terminology should be used with caution, since it may tend to blur distinctions between the function and ontology of created heavenly and created earthly beings.
常见的断言是《以诺记下》中的以诺变成了天使(如果不是更多的话),但这一断言的主要依据,即他站在神的面前、天使对他进入神的面前的 "呼喊 "或考验,以及他为祭司服务而更换的衣服,都表明这一断言缺乏依据。此外,学者们对以诺 "天使变身 "的断言与他后来对家人明确强调的他与家人共有的人性并不一致。对《以诺》一书中以诺形象的这种误读,很大程度上可能是由于将后来的希克哈洛神秘主义追溯到《以诺》一书中,试图找出从《以诺》一书到《以诺》三书的 "发展脉络 "或轨迹。这种轨迹只有在《以诺记下》对以诺的连贯描述的基础上才能成立。在《以诺记下》中,以诺被清楚地描绘成一个在天使中得到荣耀但仍是人类的人。虽然以诺可能是 "天使形态 "的,他具有天使的某些形态和功能,尽管他没有被明确称为 "天使",也没有被认为具有天使的受造性,但这个术语应该谨慎使用,因为它可能会模糊受造的天上人和受造的地上人的功能和本体之间的区别。
