Abstract This article deals with the oft-debated identification of Moresheth Gath, mentioned in the book of Micah as the prophet’s hometown. Based on comprehensive analysis of texts from the early Christian period, the Amarna archive and the book of Micah, the authors claim for the first time that Moresheth Gath is to be identified with Azekah, the economically and strategically important site in the western Shephelah. »Moresheth Gath« was the old name of the site before becoming part of Judah at the end of the 9th century BCE, when the Judahite rulers renamed it »Azekah«.

Abstract The article demonstrates the connection between metaphor and theology and shows how, by tracing the development of the metaphor of the felled tree and its regrowth, it is possible to point to the development of certain theological trends. It argues that Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the tree in Daniel (3:31–4:34) serves as an »inner-biblical interpretation« for the prophecy regarding the »shoot from the stump of Jesse« (Isaiah 10:33–11:9), identifying three stages in the development of the metaphor of the felled tree.

Résumé Le scénario du Ps 79 réfère à la ruine de Jérusalem et constitue un cas d’étude pour sonder la capacité des textes bibliques à parler de la souffrance. Le style anthologique et les jeux d’intertextualités plaident pour une datation tardive du psaume et suggèrent qu’il ait pour visée de concilier différentes appréciations du cours de l’histoire et du rapport de Yhwh à son peuple. Cette hypothèse trouve un appui dans le fait que le psaume est composé de trois unités, chacune ayant une perspective propre. L’ensemble de ces traits éclairent la fonction que joue ce psaume dans la collection d’Asaf.

Zusammenfassung Der Artikel analysiert 2 Könige 22,3–11 sowohl synchron als auch diachron. Beide Analysen widerlegen die Existenz einer Tempelbibliothek in vorexilischer Zeit. Mit dem Wegfall einer solchen Bibliothek wird ebenfalls die Frage nach dem Bildungsstand der Priester aufgeworfen. Der Artikel beschreibt den Jerusalemer Tempel als Ort des Kultes; Priester waren primär für die Opfer verantwortlich. Diese Charakterisierung lässt weitere Rückschlüsse und Überlegungen in Bezug auf Religion und Theologie der vorexilischen Zeit zu.

Zusammenfassung Die Josephsnovelle ist ein Zeugnis der vordergründigen Widerfahrnisse Josephs und der hintergründigen Providenz Gottes. Um diese richtig zu verstehen, bedarf es der zielgerichteten Lektüre jener. Die Linse hierfür liefert die Josephsfigur im Schlussabschnitt 50,15–26 der Novelle. Dort bietet die Deutung Josephs eine providenzielle Sicht auf die Geschehnisse der vorherigen Kapitel. Dabei fungieren die engen Verbindungen von Kapitel 50 zu 37, das Motiv der Heimsuchung Gottes (50,24 f.), und des Hinaufführens der Gebeine Josephs (50,25) erzählstrategisch als Aufforderung zur Relecture, um mit einem geschärften Blick die verborgene Providenz Gottes in der Novelle von Kanaan nach Ägypten (neu) zu erkennen.

Abstract Passive diathesis in Ugaritic and Biblical Hebrew is expressed by four morphological categories: Qal passive stem, Niphal stem, Qal passive participle, and impersonal construction. The distribution and functions of these categories are not proportional at different stages of the development of these languages. This paper concentrates on the distribution of Qal passive and Niphal stems. In the language of Ugaritic poetry G passive is the prevailing category; in the language of Ugaritic prose both G passive and N-stem are used to express passivity. In the languages of Classical Biblical Hebrew prose there are examples of Qal passive and Niphal in the passive function, but the situation is essentially different from Ugaritic: in Hebrew the lexical overlap between these stems is broader, and Niphal can be used in impersonal passive constructions. In Late Biblical Hebrew Qal passive is practically out of use. In Qumran Hebrew the Qal passive forms are sporadically attested, apparently as an archaizing retention.

Abstract This article examines reworkings in and of the Pentateuch using the terms and categories of hypertextuality, a theory proposed by the structuralist literary critic Gérard Genette. Genette’s theory offers sophisticated ways to categorize literary interactions among texts and to make more explicit our assumptions about how interpretive texts functioned. It can therefore contribute to solving pressing issues in the study of the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism, including the ongoing need to continue integrating these two fields.

Abstract Aposiopesis, »the sudden breaking off of what is being said (or written)«, is not simply a rhetorical figure but a linguistic device of the ellipsis of the main clause or the sentence nucleus. The speaker conveys »feelings of haste, urgency, and anxiety«, as in the cases of Hannah (1Sam 1:22) and Tamar (2Sam 13:16). The omitted phrase or clause is usually negative. Further Examples: 1) 2Sam 23:17 Is it [not] the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives? 2) 2Sam 21:1 due to Saul and the bloody house Textual omission and conversational ellipsis need to be carefully distinguished.
