ABSTRACT The names of several of David’s successors are related in both meaning and narrative situation: Ahaziah and Ahaz, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, Joash and Josiah, Amaziah and Hezekiah. Components of other names (Azariah, Uzziah, and Jotham) are also uniquely anticipated in the synoptic record. When the names of prophets and northern kings are also reviewed, the total impression is of artistic narrative more than historical record.

ABSTRACT The original profile of YHWH is a much-discussed issue of research, YHWH being defined mostly as either an El-like or a Baal-like deity. Scholars are investigating older texts of the Hebrew Bible that might reflect relevant imagery. The Book of Hosea is a neglected corpus in this discussion. However, the book contains North-Israelite traditions and concepts from the 8th century BCE that preserve and reflect an earlier stage of the YHWH-cult. If the imagery of the book could be traced back to a single, fundamental god-type, that could be a hint at the original character of YHWH. This article ventures to catalog, analyze, and evaluate the imagery of the book, to ultimately propose an original god-type for YHWH.

ABSTRACT The reception history of Josiah’s encounter with Pharaoh Necho is a complicated issue that has yet to be fully explored. Many scholars stop with the transmission from the Masoretic text (MT) of Kings to the MT of Chronicles; however, the Greek translator(s) of 2 Chronicles 35, also known as 2 Paraleipomena 35, inserted specific textual variants that deviate from the MT. There has been little done on Paraleipomena, and even fewer works that factor in the complex theological history surrounding the death of Josiah. This paper hopes to follow the reception of the final events of Josiah by combining both literary and text critical methodologies.

ABSTRACT In Ezekiel’s extensive vision reports, reality is combined with the supra-mundane world in a way which resembles modern surrealism, especially as a literary art form. The comparison with surrealism helps to get a better understanding of the visions. The combination of realistic and surrealistic images has a shocking affect and revolutionizes human understanding and experience. In this way, the audience is challenged to remodel its understanding of reality.

ABSTRACT While it has often been observed within the framework of classic source criticism that Genesis 1 and Exodus 25-40 are conceptually related in the Priestergrundschrift (Creation and Tabernacle), it is argued here that Genesis 2-3 is associated too with the priestly sanctuary concept and has parallels especially in Leviticus 9-10. In Genesis 2, Adam and Eve are appointed as priests in the Garden of Eden like Aaron and his sons in Leviticus 9. The death of Adab and Nabihu in Leviticus 10 mirrors the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. Since there are parallels both in conception and in language between Genesis 2-3 and P, it is argued that the distinction of P and non-P in Genesis 1-3 is questionable.

ABSTRACT In support of scholarship which proposes a Hellenistic date for biblical literature, this study proposes that portions of the Bible are written in the style of Attic theatre plays. Part II demonstrates the ways in which biblical literature meets all criteria for Attic tragedies in Aristotle’s Poetics, using the Book of Samuel as an example. This approach offers new ways to interpret biblical literature.

ABSTRACT This research paper demonstrates exegetically that God’s prophesied gathering of the Israelites in Deuteronomy 30,1-10 can happen only after repentance and a return to devoted service of God, which is made possible by a divine or spiritual regenerative work on the minds and moods of Israel. This is supported by evidence that this pericopé was an intentional chiasm giving focus to this theme. Current relevance theologically is argued on the basis of how this understanding of Deuteronomy 30,1-10 can be applied to renewed and ongoing debate over the literal versus spiritual future fulfillment of, especially the timing of, Israel’s restoration as a “nation.” In particular this has implications for the current discussions over so-called Replacement Theology or Supercessionism, wherein some have tended to base evaluations on political correctness over exegesis. The question here clarified is what role this passage plays in regard to the nature of renewed Israel.

ABSTRACT The methodology of intertextual analysis of biblical texts consists of comparing two texts to identify points of thematic and lexical continuity between them. As the methodology requires close attention to lexical details, most intertextual analyses of OT passages use the MT version of both texts as the basis of comparison. This reliance on the MT raises a number of methodological concerns that can lead to misleading conclusions. Using the case of Genesis 19 and Judges 19 as an example, it will be argued that most of the claimed intertextual allusions in the latter text were introduced by a late redactor as literary embellishments to what was already a well-developed narrative. Although this conclusion is speculative, it nonetheless suggests that intertextual analysis that is limited to a comparison of two texts in their final MT versions understates the complexity and subtlety of the gradual compositional development process of biblical texts.
