In Judges 11 Jephthah is an anti-hero, his rash vow and its implementation being for the Book of Judges symptoms of the defects of pre-monarchical Israel. The daughter is probably sacrificed; the alternative view, that she is consigned to perpetual virginity, has insufficient support in the text. The story speaks still to present-day readers, challenging them not to make ill-considered judgments that may have disastrous consequences; inviting them too to detect a divine purpose working through human beings in their failings as well as their strengths.

The sixth petition of the Our Father has been translated in various ways across the centuries. This article discusses its literal meaning and the permissive paraphrases of it, explaining the sense of temptation and God's activity in leading into it, as well as the various subterfuges adopted to avoid the obvious meaning of the Greek formulation, including its supposed Aramaic substratum. It concludes with a pastoral explanation of the petition.

The article re-examines some elements in Account B 2 (2 Kgs 19,9b-35) in an effort to shed more light on the date and place in which the story was composed. It is suggested that the list of cities mentioned in vv. 12-13 reflects the conquests of Nabopolassar and Nebuchadrezzar in the late seventh century BCE. It is also suggested that vv. 17-18 may reflect the Babylonian practice of destroying cult statues during their conquest of Assyria. The author of Account B 2 was probably a descendant of a Judean deportee who lived in eastern Babylonia in the second half of the sixth century BCE. It is further suggested that the Deuteronomist combined chronistic and narrative early texts (Accounts A and B 1 ) and integrated them into his composition of the history of Israel.

Tracing the sources available to the Dtr historian and the way he integrated them into his composition is the point of departure for this study. The detailed analysis of the value-judgments, and the concluding statements on Jehoshaphat, Ahab, Ahaziah and Joram, indicate that they were written on the basis of the prophetic stories and battle reports of 1Kgs 17-19; 21-22; 2Kgs 1; 3 and 9-10. These narratives were the main sources available to the Dtr for describing the histories of Jehoshaphat and the Omrides. The pre-Dtr story in 1Kgs 22 included w.1-18.29-37, whereas w. 19-28 were written by the Dtr when he integrated the story of Ahab's death in battle into his historical composition. The lack of agreement between prophetic narratives and passages composed by the Dtr suggests that such contradictions were tolerated by the historian and his readers and that we must be careful not to attribute modern historical standards to biblical historians. A detailed analysis of the Dtr history shows that the historian exhausted all his sources and left very little that is not mentioned either explicitly or implicitly in his work.

The last 25 years or so have seen many published writings expressing a preference for the Greek text of Jeremiah. The reasons usually adduced (I.: the evidence of 4Q71; the shorter text; greater cohesion) cannot, however, demonstrate its priority. Instead a number of arguments (II.: the evidence of the tradition; the ideal programme; a more challenging text) suggest that preference should rather be given to the longer and more complex Hebrew text. The MT of Jeremiah represents to a much higher degree than does the LXX the 'original' version of the book of Jeremiah.

Jer 52 is shown to be the key to the book of Jeremiah in three respects: a) For the investigation of the relationship between the Hebrew and Greek texts of Jer it provides the only independent point of comparison based on its parallel texts, especially 2 Kings 25-25. b) For the connections between the dtr literature and Jer, Jer 52 presents the closest link. This chapter makes clear that the editing of Jer - even when it goes so far as to recapitulate verbatim as here - clearly places it own emphasis, c) For the connections within the book of Jer, ch. 52 represents the longest doublet (with 39,1-10). This doublet together with further links to other texts of Jer permits us to observe the modus operandi and interests of a redaction that stamps the book in a fundamental way.
