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。

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
Pub Date : 2023-02-17 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/11568
Pieter Van der Zwan
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。

Epistemic Contextualism as Semantic Thesis and Knowledge-Attribution Standards in Qoheleth 认识论语境论的语义命题与《圣经》中的知识归因标准
Pub Date : 2023-02-17 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/12374

The concept of knowledge plays an important role in Qoheleth. Both linguistic and philosophical perspectives remain popular trends in current related research. Developments in the two auxiliary disciplines that remain largely ignored include those associated with “Epistemic Contextualism.” The theory has been used as both a substantive-epistemological and a descriptive-semantic thesis, both of which concern the way variable epistemic standards are seen to supervene in different contexts of knowledge attributions. Initially offered as a solution to the challenges of radical scepticism, it has recently sought to show how an utterance affirming and denying a subject “knows” that something is the case could both be meaningful in virtue of changing propositional contents expressed in response to variable contextual stakes, interests, and needs. The original contribution of this study lies in constructing the relevant data set in Qoheleth and illustrating the possibilities and problems of applying the semantic format of the theory to discrepant propositional attitude reports in the world of the text.
知识的概念在《圣训》中起着重要的作用。语言和哲学两种观点仍然是当前相关研究的流行趋势。两个辅助学科的发展在很大程度上仍然被忽视,其中包括与“认识论语境主义”相关的学科。该理论已被用作实体-认识论和描述-语义的论点,两者都涉及在不同的知识归因背景下,可变的认知标准被视为监督的方式。最初,它是作为激进怀疑主义挑战的解决方案而提出的,最近,它试图表明,肯定和否认主体“知道”某事是这样的话语,如何通过改变命题内容来响应不同的上下文利害关系、利益和需求,从而都是有意义的。本研究的原创性贡献在于构建了Qoheleth的相关数据集,并说明了将该理论的语义格式应用于文本世界中不同命题态度报告的可能性和问题。

“May God Bless Us, So That All the Ends of the Earth Will Fear Him!” (Ps 67:8): The Spatial Perspective in the Eschatological Vision of God’s Universal Rule in the Cluster of Psalms 65–68 “愿上帝保佑我们,让地球的尽头都敬畏他!”(诗67:8):诗篇65-68中上帝普遍统治末世论视野中的空间视角

Psalms 65–68 form a tight collection or “cluster” of psalms close to the conclusion of Book II of the Psalter. The implied redactors’ purpose with this cluster was to offer thanksgiving and praise to God for manifesting his eschatological rule over the entire world. This article investigates the function of spatial descriptions in defining God’s rule over the cosmos in these four psalms. After establishing harmony in the world, God is present as King in his temple in Zion. To dwell in his vicinity is the pinnacle of his people’s blessing and privilege. Further away from Jerusalem, all nations, even to the ends of the earth, worship and praise God and bring him gifts. There is a centripetal movement of joy, worship, praise, and tribute toward God from all who accept his benevolent rule over the world, but also a centrifugal movement away from him by those who oppose his rule and refuse to accept it.
诗篇65-68形成一个紧密的收集或“集群”的诗篇接近第二卷的结论。隐含的编纂者的目的是为了表达对上帝的感恩和赞美,因为上帝彰显了他对整个世界的末世统治。这篇文章探讨了这四篇诗篇中空间描述在定义上帝对宇宙的统治方面的作用。在世界上建立和谐之后,上帝在锡安的圣殿中作为国王出现。住在他的附近是他的人民的祝福和特权的顶峰。离耶路撒冷远的万民,直到地极,都敬拜赞美神,给他献礼物。对于那些接受上帝仁慈统治世界的人来说,有一种向上帝喜悦、崇拜、赞美和致敬的离心运动,但对于那些反对他统治并拒绝接受他统治的人来说,也有一种远离他的离心运动。

Repentance and Compassion in 4Q400–405 Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice. Are the Deputy Princes in Song Eight Angelic or Human Beings? 《安息日祭歌》第400–405节中的忏悔与怜悯。宋八公是天使还是人类?

The pervasive ambiguity in 4QSongs of the Sabbath Sacrifice (SOSS) presents a major problem: When are the activities described in this text performed by angels and when by humans? This paper builds on research on Songs One, Seven, Twelve, Thirteen, and Knowledge in SOSS that hypothesised that as the liturgy proceeds through the thirteen songs of SOSS a gradual transition takes place in the human participants. In Song Six, seven chief princes initially bless God and then proceed to bless various other participants in the liturgy, concluding with “those who wait for Him … for a return of His gracious compassion.” Song Seven, in the middle of the liturgy, describes angelic messenger activity arising from the throne of God, based on Ezekiel’s merkebah chapters. After Song Seven, a dramatic change takes place. In Song Eight, those who do the blessing are no longer “chief” princes, but “deputy” princes. The hypothesis of this article is that these deputy princes are the “people of discernment” introduced in Song One, who, having expressed repentance and persevered in joint exaltation of God with the “holiest of holy ones,” have been transformed into “god-like” messengers of God, to convey God’s compassion to those “who wait for Him.” This paper refers to recent cognitive neuroscience insights in order to, to some extent, support Fletcher-Louis’s proposal of a fluid identity achieved by the participants in the liturgy as a “community of human priests as God’s angels.” In its focus on repentance, compassion, and messenger activity, SOSS may be a witness to the beginnings of a new way of achieving atonement.
安息日祭祀歌曲(SOSS)中普遍存在的歧义提出了一个主要问题:本文中描述的活动何时由天使执行,何时由人类执行?本文建立在对SOSS中的歌曲1、7、12、13和知识的研究基础上,假设随着礼拜仪式通过SOSS的13首歌曲进行,人类参与者会发生逐渐的转变。在第六首歌中,七位主要王子首先祝福上帝,然后开始祝福礼拜仪式中的其他参与者,最后以“那些等待他的人……等待他仁慈的同情的回归”结束。第七首歌在礼拜仪式的中间,根据以西结的默克巴章节,描述了上帝宝座上出现的天使信使活动。在《宋七》之后,发生了戏剧性的变化。在《宋八》中,那些做祝福的人不再是“首席”王子,而是“副”王子。这篇文章的假设是,这些副王子是宋一中引入的“明辨之人”,他们表达了忏悔,并坚持与“最神圣的人”共同崇拜上帝,已经转变为“上帝般”的上帝使者,向那些“等待他的人”传达上帝的同情。这篇论文引用了最近的认知神经科学见解,以便在某种程度上支持Fletcher-Louis的提议,即礼拜仪式参与者作为“作为上帝天使的人类牧师社区”实现流动身份。SOSS专注于忏悔、同情和信使活动,它可能见证了一种新的赎罪方式的开始。

Valency Types in South Ethiosemitic Languages 南方伦理语言中的配价类型
Pub Date : 2023-02-17 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/10465
Tsige Yohannes Zeleke, Desalaegn Hagos Asfawwesen, Shimels Mazengia
This article analyses the main characteristics of verb valency types and the behaviour of verbs in morphosyntactic structures in South Ethiosemitic languages. To achieve the objective, native speaker informants, written texts, and introspection (for Amharic) were used as sources of data. The findings reveal that six valency types of verbs are in use in the languages: avalent, monovalent, bivalent, trivalent, and a valency of ambivalent verbs with one or two arguments, as well as intransitive verbs with a cognate object. Except for the type that concerns avalent verbs, the rest are highly productive. The valency types were differentiated by the required clause elements that precede the verb (e.g., direct object, indirect object, or locative adverbial). Except for the avalent type, all the rest may include obligatory subject(s) and, in some cases, optional adjunct(s).
本文分析了南埃塞俄比亚语言中动词配价类型的主要特征以及动词在形态句法结构中的行为。为了实现这一目标,母语为母语的线人、书面文本和内省(阿姆哈拉语)被用作数据来源。研究结果表明,语言中使用了六种配价类型的动词:有价、单价、二价、三价和带有一个或两个自变量的矛盾动词的配价,以及带有同源宾语的不及物动词。除了涉及现有动词的类型外,其余的都是高效的。配价类型由动词前所需的从句元素(如直接宾语、间接宾语或方位状语)来区分。除了avalent类型外,其他所有类型都可能包括必修科目,在某些情况下,还可能包括可选的附属科目。

The Syntax of Genesis 1:1–3 创世纪1:1-3的句法
Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/11647
Robert D. Holmstedt
It is well known that Gen 1:1–3 contains considerably more linguistic complexity than readers may initially notice. As the first verses in the Hebrew Bible, they have engendered significant theological and scholarly analysis and been caught up in the modern “creation-science” debate. Yet, for all this attention, the linguistic details are often overlooked or, in some cases, disregarded in favour of ideologically-bound analyses that preference tradition over plain grammatical sense. In this essay, I address two basic linguistic issues methodically: (1) the grammar of the first orthographic word, bereshit, and its implications for the syntactic analysis of verse 1, and (2) the syntactic analysis of verse 2. I conclude that there are only two linguistically plausible analyses of Gen 1:1–3, neither of which matches the traditional rendering “In the beginning, God created ... ”.
众所周知,创世记1:1-3所包含的语言比读者最初注意到的要复杂得多。作为希伯来圣经的第一批经文,它们已经产生了重要的神学和学术分析,并被卷入了现代“创造科学”的辩论中。然而,对于所有这些关注,语言细节往往被忽视,或者在某些情况下,被忽视,而倾向于传统而不是简单的语法意义的意识形态分析。在这篇文章中,我系统地解决了两个基本的语言学问题:(1)第一个正字法单词bereshit的语法,以及它对第1节句法分析的影响;(2)第2节的句法分析。我的结论是,对创世记1:1-3只有两种似是而非的分析,两者都不符合传统的解释“起初,上帝创造了……””。

I conclude that there are only two linguistically plausible analyses of Gen 1:1–3, neither of which matches the traditional rendering “In the beginning, God created ... ”.","PeriodicalId":42047,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Semitics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47093955","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}

Bathsheba and the Witch of Endor: The Fall of the Two Royal Houses and its Polemics in 1 and 2 Samuel 拔示巴与恩多的女巫:萨缪尔1和2世纪的两个王室的衰落及其悲剧

Bathsheba’s role in the story of the house of David bears an often-overlooked intertextual connection to the story of the Witch of Endor. In the books of Samuel, the two women triggered a chain of events that later led to the fall of the houses of David and Saul, respectively. While past scholarship has independently studied the importance of the stories of these two women, the present paper describes the intertextual connections and the significance of these two stories in the matrix of 1 and 2 Samuel and the Deuteronomistic History (DtrH). The two royal houses in the stories of these two women are subtly indicted for adulterous affairs against Yahweh. Consequently, the story of Saul at Endor and the story of David’s adultery with Bathsheba are not only intertextually connected to each other but also fulfil a subversive agenda.
巴斯谢巴在大卫家故事中的角色与恩多女巫的故事有着经常被忽视的互文联系。在撒母耳的书中,这两个女人引发了一系列事件,后来分别导致大卫和扫罗的房屋倒塌。虽然过去的学术界独立研究了这两位女性故事的重要性,但本文在《撒母耳记》和《申命记》的矩阵中描述了这两个故事的互文联系和意义。在这两个女人的故事中,两个王室被微妙地指控与耶和华通奸。因此,索尔在恩多的故事和大卫与拔示巴通奸的故事不仅相互交织,而且实现了颠覆性的议程。

ʿbd and šmr in Genesis 2:15 as the Ecological Mandate: An African Theanthropocosmic Perspective 《圣经》和《创世纪》2:15中的šmr作为生态使命:非洲人的宇宙观

This paper contributes to the ongoing conversation on ecology by contributing an African perspective derived from the theanthropocosmic perspective. African indigenous knowledge and practices have been successfully passed on from one generation to the next without documentation. This is because of the inherent nature of responsibility within the African worldview where God, mankind, and nature exist in a (un)conscious community. The homogenous environmental ethic created within the African context provides scope for rereading the ecological mandate of Genesis 2:15 perhaps as a hermeneutical strategy toward responsibility for the physical environment.
这篇论文通过从人类宇宙学的角度提供非洲视角,为正在进行的生态学对话做出了贡献。非洲土著的知识和做法在没有记录的情况下成功地代代相传。这是因为在非洲的世界观中,上帝、人类和自然存在于一个(无意识的)共同体中,这是责任的内在本质。在非洲背景下创造的同质环境伦理为重新解读《创世纪》2:15中的生态使命提供了空间,这可能是一种对自然环境负责的解释学策略。
