The Peshitta to Ezekiel has recently been described as a translation that closely represents the frames in the Hebrew text with corresponding frames in the natural Syriac language of the time of its translation. Such an approach to translation entailed a novel translation technique, as far as the translations of the Scriptures in the period up to the first three centuries CE were concerned. Such a characteristic feature of the translation, together with other socio-political conditions leads us to reflect on the ongoing question about the identity of the translators as well as the motivations behind their translation. A close literary and historical analysis of these factors showed that the Peshitta to Ezekiel would have been produced for a Christian community, rather than for Jews.
Peshitta to Ezekiel最近被描述为一种翻译,它紧密地代表了希伯来语文本中的框架,以及翻译时自然叙利亚语中的相应框架。就公元前三世纪的圣经翻译而言,这种翻译方法需要一种新颖的翻译技巧。翻译的这一特点,加上其他社会政治条件,使我们反思关于译者身份以及他们翻译背后的动机的持续问题。对这些因素进行仔细的文学和历史分析表明,从佩希塔到以西结书是为基督教社区而不是犹太人制作的。

A Trauma Reading of Isaiah 1–12 from the “Unity Movement” Perspective 从“团结运动”看以赛亚书1-12的创伤解读

In this contribution we focus firstly on the “unity movement” which has changed the face of Isaianic studies over the last 30 or more years, having been characterised by the Duhmian interpretation of three separate books for nearly 100 years. The unity movement focusses on the book of Isaiah as a literary unity, but it does not deny the historical growth of this literary masterpiece which took place over centuries. Secondly, we give a brief overview of the use of trauma theory as a reading lens in biblical studies and its implication for reading the book of Isaiah in this manner. In the third part we focus on three themes which are important from the perspective of the unity of the book of Isaiah (specifically in Isaiah 1–12 which is the first major subsection within the larger composition of the book of Isaiah). These three themes are important for a trauma reading of the book of Isaiah, as will be indicated in this contribution: the concept of the we-group (remnant), the woe oracles, and the theme of the “day of YHWH // this day.” These themes are briefly dealt with within Isaiah 1–12, although they have major implications for a more detailed study of the book of Isaiah (read as a literary unity) from a trauma theoretical perspective.
在这篇文章中,我们首先关注“统一运动”,它在过去30年或更长的时间里改变了以赛亚研究的面貌,在近100年的时间里,它的特点是对三本独立的书进行Duhmian式的解释。统一运动集中在以赛亚书作为一个文学统一,但它并不否认这一文学杰作的历史成长,这发生了几个世纪。其次,我们简要概述了创伤理论在圣经研究中的应用,以及它对以这种方式阅读以赛亚书的意义。在第三部分,我们关注三个主题,从以赛亚书的统一性来看,这三个主题很重要(特别是以赛亚书1-12章,这是以赛亚书整体的第一个主要部分)。这三个主题对于以赛亚书的创伤性阅读是重要的,正如这篇文章所指出的:我们群体(余民)的概念,灾难的预言,以及“耶和华的日子//这一天”的主题。这些主题在以赛亚书1-12章中被简要地处理,尽管它们对从创伤理论的角度更详细地研究以赛亚书(作为一个文学整体)有重要的意义。

This article reviews the debate concerning the sectarian movement in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The consensus that the movement described in the Damascus Document and Community Rule originated in a dispute over the high priesthood in the mid-second century BCE has broken down in the last two decades since the unveiling of more texts, especially those from Cave 4. The scope of this debate and the ensuing developments are vast; therefore, the article only briefly discusses the main arguments and the more contemporary discourses, focusing on the five main aspects with their associated topics. These aspects are the Righteous Teacher, the Wicked Priest, the possible schism, the socio-historical context, and the sectarian movement.
本文回顾了关于死海古卷中宗派运动的争论。人们一致认为,《大马士革文献》和《社区规则》中描述的运动起源于公元前2世纪中叶关于大祭司的争论,但随着更多文献的发现,尤其是4号洞穴的文献,这种共识在过去20年里被打破了。这场辩论的范围和随后的事态发展是巨大的;因此,本文仅简要讨论了主要论点和更当代的话语,重点关注五个主要方面及其相关主题。这些方面是正义的老师,邪恶的牧师,可能的分裂,社会历史背景,和宗派运动。

This article aims to help Bantu-speaking students who struggle to grasp Biblical Hebrew (BH) stem formations. To ease the learning of BH stem formations for Bantu-speaking learners, this article proposes that Bantu stem formations be used to teach BH stem formations. To realise this aim, two strategies are used. The first is to employ typology to demonstrate to learners the similarities between BH and their languages, so that they realise that their languages are similar to BH in quite significant respects. The second strategy is to present isiXhosa verb conjugations to demonstrate what BH verb conjugations are about. IsiXhosa verb conjugations are demonstrated as an analogy for BH conjugations. Tabular juxtaposition of BH stem formations with stem formations of some Bantu languages are presented to provide clear and explicit details of the discussion.
这篇文章旨在帮助讲班图语的学生谁努力掌握圣经希伯来语(BH)干结构。为了方便班图语学习者学习BH词干结构,本文建议使用班图语词干结构来教授BH词干结构。为了实现这一目标,使用了两种策略。首先是运用类型学向学习者展示BH和他们的语言之间的相似之处,使他们意识到他们的语言在相当重要的方面与BH相似。第二种策略是用科萨语动词的变化来说明什么是科萨语动词的变化。IsiXhosa动词的变化被证明是BH变化的类比。将BH词干形式与一些班图语言的词干形式列在一起,以提供讨论的清晰和明确的细节。

The Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History in Pretoria, South Africa, is a holding institute for thousands of objects that are accessioned in its collections, including a small collection of Egyptian antiquities. As a multitude of these objects have been donated to the museum over many decades by private collectors, some information regarding object provenance and provenience is unknown. Missing details often include the object’s place of origin, its relative production date, production materials, as well as production methods and techniques. The archaeology collection features a small collection of ancient Egyptian bronze statuettes, also known as votive figures. Four bronzes, Sekhmet, Bastet/Cat, the Jackal/Dog, and the ibis, were investigated as part of the author’s doctoral study, which employed a mixed methodological approach that combined surface investigations, tomography, and comparative stylistic analysis to provide insights into ancient production. This article focuses on a comparative stylistic analysis in which online museum collections were consulted alongside published descriptions of similar objects and the gods/goddesses they depict. Following the analysis, recommendations are made towards the re-identification of two of the figures, while additional insights gained about their possible function could be incorporated into the Museum’s object catalogue.
位于南非比勒陀利亚的迪松国家文化历史博物馆是一个收藏数千件藏品的机构,其中包括一小部分埃及文物。几十年来,私人收藏家向博物馆捐赠了大量此类物品,因此有关物品来源和出处的一些信息尚不清楚。缺失的细节通常包括物品的原产地、相对生产日期、生产材料以及生产方法和技术。考古藏品中有一小部分古埃及青铜雕像,也被称为还愿雕像。作为作者博士研究的一部分,对Sekhmet、Bastet/Cat、Jackal/Dog和ibis四件青铜器进行了研究,该研究采用了一种混合方法,结合了表面调查、断层扫描和比较风格分析,以深入了解古代生产。本文侧重于比较风格分析,在该分析中,查阅了在线博物馆藏品,并发表了对类似物品及其所描绘的神/女神的描述。在分析之后,我们建议重新识别其中两个人物,同时可以将对其可能功能的更多见解纳入博物馆的物品目录。

“They Covet Fields and Houses … and Seize Them”: Interpreting Micah 2:2 in Light of Economic Deprivation for Holding on to Power in Nigeria “他们侵占田地和房屋……并夺取它们”:从尼日利亚掌权的经济剥夺角度解读迈卡2:2

Micah 2:2 condemns the injustice of land grabbing in eighth-century Israel. Contrary to the traditional perception that each clan’s land belonged to it as a permanent inheritance, by the eighth century BCE land had become a commodity that could be bought and sold, or even seized. The article examines Micah 2:2 in the context of public elections in Nigeria where, having been pauperised by the ruling class, the electorate yield themselves to politicians who exploit them to keep themselves in power. Employing the historical-critical and descriptive methods, the article concludes that the Micah passage speaks to the Nigerian context in the sense that just as the economic exploitation of the peasant farmers violated the theocratic order, in Nigeria this attitude is inimical to democratic rule and the good of the people.
弥迦书2:2谴责八世纪以色列掠夺土地的不公正行为。与每个氏族的土地作为永久遗产属于自己的传统观念相反,到公元前八世纪,土地已经成为一种可以买卖甚至没收的商品。这篇文章以尼日利亚的公共选举为背景,研究了《迈卡书》2:2。在尼日利亚,由于统治阶级的贫困,选民们向利用他们来保持权力的政客屈服。文章运用历史批判和描述性的方法得出结论,迈卡的文章谈到了尼日利亚的背景,即正如对农民的经济剥削违反了神权秩序一样,在尼日利亚,这种态度不利于民主统治和人民的利益。

Jonah—A Quest to Identify its Genre 《约拿》——确定游戏类型的探索

Considering the brevity of Jonah, or perhaps because of it, it is remarkable that the literary genre of the book remains an enigma. This is not the result of a lack of attempts to classify it. Most scholars agree that Jonah is a narrative, but what type of narrative? This article proposes that Jonah is a narrative about a specific episode in a prophet’s life, namely his flight from an assignment. To verify the possibility of such a literary category, one must find similar incidents in other known prophets’ lives and compare Jonah with those episodes. Consequently, a comparison is made with the story of Moses in Exodus and Elijah in 1 Kings 19.
考虑到《约拿》的简短,或者可能正因为如此,这本书的文学体裁仍然是一个谜,这是值得注意的。这并不是因为缺乏对其进行分类的尝试。大多数学者都认为《约拿书》是一部记叙文,但哪一种记叙文呢?这篇文章提出约拿是一个关于先知生活中一个特定事件的叙述,即他逃离任务。为了验证这种文学类别的可能性,我们必须在其他已知先知的生活中找到类似的事件,并将约拿与这些事件进行比较。因此,与出埃及记中的摩西和列王纪上19章中的以利亚的故事进行了比较。

From the Perspective of Bible Translation: An Invitation to Biblical Poetry by Elaine T. James 从圣经翻译的角度看伊莱恩·T·詹姆斯对圣经诗歌的邀请

Elaine James (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. According to the book’s description, the author “studies the ancient literature of the Bible with particular attention to its aesthetic and ecological dimensions.” The stated aim of this series of studies is as follows: “Essentials of Biblical Studies comprises freestanding, relatively brief, accessibly written books that provide orientation to the Bible’s contents, its ancient contexts, its interpretive methods and history, and its themes and figures” (p. xiv). The author further adds: “This book is an invitation to biblical poetry, with students and general readers in mind” (p. 1). While the book does indeed offer a valuable introduction to biblical Hebrew poetry, especially the psalms, it is written more at the level of intermediate Bible students, not general readers. Its table of contents is rather too sparse (and should be expanded to include the major internal chapter divisions): Introduction—An Art of Words, 1 Voices, 2 Lines, 3 Forms, 4 Figures, 5 Contexts, Conclusion—Giving Poetry Life. The notes and references for each chapter are provided at the end of the book, which is not the most convenient for ready access, but the final index of subjects is quite complete and includes all the Scripture texts discussed in the book for which the author provides her own translation into English. The present review has been written from the specific perspective of Bible translation and for advanced translators or trainers who could benefit from this helpful overview of the subject at hand.
伊莱恩·詹姆斯(普林斯顿神学院博士)是新泽西州普林斯顿普林斯顿神学院旧约副教授。根据这本书的描述,作者“研究圣经的古代文学,特别关注其美学和生态维度。”这一系列研究的既定目标如下:“《圣经研究要点》包括独立的、相对简短的、易于理解的书籍,这些书籍为圣经的内容、古代背景、解释方法和历史、主题和人物提供了方向”(第xiv页)。作者进一步补充道:“这本书是对圣经诗歌的邀请,考虑到学生和普通读者”(第1页)。虽然这本书确实提供了圣经希伯来诗歌的有价值的介绍,特别是诗篇,但它更多地是为中级圣经学生而不是普通读者写的。它的目录太稀疏了(应该扩展到主要的内部章节):引言-文字的艺术,1声,2行,3形式,4图,5上下文,结论-赋予诗歌生命。每一章的注释和参考文献都在书的末尾,这不是最方便的,但最后的主题索引是相当完整的,包括书中讨论的所有圣经文本,作者提供了她自己的英文翻译。目前的评论是从圣经翻译的特定角度编写的,并为高级翻译或培训人员编写,他们可以从手头的主题的有益概述中受益。

A Poem in Two Contexts: Psalm 40:14–18 and Psalm 70 in their Canonical Setting 两种背景下的诗:诗篇40:14-18和诗篇70的经典背景

That Psalms 40:14–18 and 70 are (near) duplicates is well known. Previous research on these psalms has tended to focus on the question of origin, debating which was the original source for the other, with this then used to explain the variances between them, usually with the goal of establishing the original poem. This paper takes a different approach, arguing that the variances between the two are to be explained as evidence of shaping each to its current setting. These variances thus contribute to subtle changes in meaning between them which need to be recognised.
众所周知,诗篇40:14-18和70(几乎)是重复的。先前对这些诗篇的研究往往集中在起源问题上,争论哪一首是另一首的原始来源,然后用它来解释它们之间的差异,通常目的是建立原始诗歌。本文采用了不同的方法,认为两者之间的差异应被解释为将各自塑造成当前环境的证据。因此,这些差异导致了它们之间含义的微妙变化,需要加以认识。

Previous research on these psalms has tended to focus on the question of origin, debating which was the original source for the other, with this then used to explain the variances between them, usually with the goal of establishing the original poem. This paper takes a different approach, arguing that the variances between the two are to be explained as evidence of shaping each to its current setting. These variances thus contribute to subtle changes in meaning between them which need to be recognised.","PeriodicalId":42047,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Semitics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45273362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Nose as Organ of Anger in the Book of Job: A Psychoanalytic Understanding 《约伯记》中鼻子作为愤怒的器官:一种精神分析的理解

As an external and more specifically a facial organ, the nose in the Hebrew Bible not only has various physiological functions such as smell and breathing, but also various meanings as metonym and metaphor. It is also one of the body parts attributed to God, mostly serving a metaphorical role. The nose is probably the body part which is most connected to an emotion, to such an extent that this emotion often displaces the bodily organ. This makes the nose an interesting object for psychoanalytic interpretation. The unique way the nose suggests anger in the Hebrew Bible will be explored from a psychoanalytical perspective to propose a phallic-sadistic understanding of this puzzling association with aggression.
在希伯来圣经中,鼻子作为一种外在的,更具体地说是一种面部器官,除了具有嗅觉、呼吸等多种生理功能外,还具有转喻、隐喻等多种含义。它也被认为是上帝的身体部位之一,主要是隐喻性的角色。鼻子可能是身体中与情感联系最紧密的部位,以至于这种情感常常取代了身体的器官。这使得鼻子成为精神分析解释的一个有趣的对象。在希伯来圣经中,鼻子暗示愤怒的独特方式将从精神分析的角度进行探索,以提出一种阴茎虐待狂的理解,将这种令人费解的联系与侵略联系起来。
