Abstract The roles of Michal and Merab in the received tradition of the Book of Samuel are complex. This study examines the literary embeddedness of Saul’s daughter within several passages in which she appears (1Sam 18:17–19*; 1Sam 19:11–17; 2Sam 3:12–16*; 2Sam 21:8). In many cases, the names of Saul’s daughters—Michal and Merab—can be easily excised without doing significant damage to the surrounding text. This article concludes that some episodes featuring one of Saul’s daughters may originally have assumed only a single, nameless woman.

Abstract In a recent article, Oded Lipschits and Jakob Wöhrle argue for Tel Azekah as the hometown of the biblical prophet Micah of Moresheth Gath. However, the main arguments are not convincing and can easily be refuted. Above all, the overall rejection of the patristic sources is methodologically questionable and cannot stand up to scrutiny since the alleged contradictoriness does not exist within the Christian topographical tradition. Moreover, it can be shown that geographical, epigraphical, etymological and archaeological data were used in a one-sided and erroneous way.

Abstract The article offers a discussion of a supposed new Egyptian loanword in the book of the prophet Ezekiel proposed by Jonathan Thambyrajah in 2021. The proposal that אֶלְגָּבִישׁ (Ez 13,11.13; 38,22) is a loanword from the Egyptian language can be firmly rejected due to many linguistic and cultural-historic problems.

Abstract The »foe from the north« is a well-known trope in the book of Jeremiah. In 1989 David Reimer argued that this enemy should be understood as a nonspecific earthly enemy, with mythical overtones deriving from the location of Yhwh ’s divine abode on Mount Zaphon. Contemporary historiographical debates, together with Otto Eißfeldt’s arguments for an Israelite tradition of a »mythischen Nordberg«, exerted significant influence on Reimer’s discussion. This article examines these presuppositions, reconsiders the evidence, and argues that Jeremiah’s enemy »from the north« is a simple geographical reference to the Babylonian Empire.

Abstract Animal peace as a motif appears in two places in the book of Isaiah, thereby connecting two texts that are each committed to a different concept of rulership. On the one hand, it appears in the context of the promise of a future Jewish king (Isa 11:6–9); on the other, it is embedded in the context of Yahweh’s universal role, which is associated with a new cosmic order (Isa 65:25). This article examines the literary-historical and theological-historical relationship between the texts as well as their conceptions of rulership from a redaction-historical perspective. This leads to the hypothesis that Isa 11 was redactionally aligned with Isa 65 by adding vv. 7–9, a process that is understood to be a clear indication of royal leadership becoming increasingly eschatologized.

Abstract Among Eliphaz’s last words to Job in MT Job 22:30, ’î-nāqî (NJPS: »guilty«) and v e nimlaṭ b e bōr kappêkā (NJPS: »He will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands«) present substantial interpretative challenges. Rather than ending with words of hope or encouragement in his third and final speech, this short article argues that Eliphaz ends his speeches with his most serious allegation against Job.
在马太福音约伯记22:30中，以利法对约伯说的最后一句话中，“î-nāqî”(NJPS:“有罪”)和“ve nimlahab e bōr kappêkā”(NJPS:“他将通过你手中的清洁被释放”)提出了实质性的解释挑战。这篇短文认为，在以利法的第三次也是最后一次演讲中，他并没有以希望或鼓励的话语结束，而是以对约伯最严厉的指控结束了他的演讲。

Zusammenfassung Das Zurücktreten der Erzählstimme in der Literatur der Hebräischen Bibel wurde oft benannt. Dies wurde allerdings nur selten mit der erzähltheoretischen Analysekategorie des Modus fundiert. Letzteres gilt besonders für die Darstellung von Figurenrede. Dabei ist umstritten, ob sich neben direkter und indirekter Rede auch erlebte Rede in der Hebräischen Bibel nachweisen lässt. Diese vor allem von Meir Sternberg vertretene Möglichkeit hat Cynthia L. Miller abgelehnt. Millers Einwände lassen sich aber mit einer linguistisch fundierten Erzählanalyse hinterfragen, was die grundsätzliche Möglichkeit erlebter Rede bei w e hinne -Phrasen begründet.
