Abstract Greek inscriptions from Asia Minor (2nd century B.C. to 3rd century A.D.) offer opportunities for understanding the Psalms despite the great distance. No literary influences are to be assumed, but analogous life situations. While the texts of the Psalms can be changed by updating them, the unchangeable Asia Minor inscriptions show the original situation undistorted. The following are interesting for the understanding of the Psalms: more concrete naming of the human offence, illness as divine punishment, vows, consequences of reconciliation for the social environment, votive tablet or votive scroll, στηλογραφία and מכתם / מכתב.

Abstract This article offers a new edition of the LXX Psalms portion of Codex Climaci Rescriptus, an important, though somewhat neglected, Sinaitic Palimpsest. The edition is based on the post-processed multispectral images, produced by Early Manuscripts Electronic Library in cooperation with the Lazarus Project. The new technology has aided in correcting various errors in the editio princeps and uncovering hitherto unseen textual and paratextual elements.

Abstract According to popular scholarly consensus, the role of the classical prophets ceased following the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period. This paper will attempt to propose an explanation of 1 Maccabees’ comments about the cessation of prophecy by undertaking a careful and broad examination of the dynamics involved in the Hebrew Bible’s final chronological confrontation between a prophet and religious leader of Israel: Noadiah and Nehemiah. Attention will be given to exploring the basis for Nehemiah’s deliberate dismissal of prophecy and how his choices set a precedent for future leaders of Judah, culminating in the positions taken by the Hasmoneans. In conclusion, it will be argued that Nehemiah’s choice to elevate his own ability for insight above and against those who claimed a profession that typically was seen as granting exclusive access to such things, led to a gradual ostracization of prophets and a diminishing belief in their »trustworthiness«.

Abstract This paper aims to highlight a series of similarities between Leviticus and an extraordinary Greek inscription that was discovered in Marmarini (Greece) and published during the recent decade (CGRN 225 = SEG 65–376). As this inscription contains instructions and regulations for ritual conduct, as well as reflects many unique Near Eastern features, it serves in this paper as the basis for a new comparative study that has significant ramifications on our understanding of the casuistic law in Leviticus, and the formation of the Priestly material in the Pentateuch.

Abstract This study explores the use of verbal irony in three case studies across the Septuagint Prophets: Amos 4:4–5, Isa 47:12–13, and Ezek 28:3–5. In the MT, all three of these passages make use of verbal irony to express criticism. The prophets’ critiques remain in the LXX versions, but do not contain verbal irony in some cases. This paper aims to discern how each translator has approached rendering the verbal irony of the Hebrew parent text by describing the observable results of the translation process on linguistic and rhetorical levels.

Abstract The present article investigates how prophetic critiques of socio-economic injustice turned into a legal discourse in the process of the theologization of laws in the Covenant Code. The article argues that the initial formation and development of the notion of divine law depended heavily on the prophetic traditions denouncing socio-economic injustice, on both thematic and terminological levels, and that this process reflects the social and economic situation of the late eighth through the seventh centuries BCE.

Zusammenfassung Die Rechts- und Literargeschichte des Kasuistischen Rechts im Bundesbuch und Deuteronomium lässt sich anhand dreier Phasen beschreiben: die Entstehung einzelner kasuistischer Rechtssätze, ihre Redaktion im weisheitlichen Kontext und ihre priesterliche Theologisierung. Bei der Redaktion kasuistischer Rechtssätze verschmolzen Techniken des Keilschriftrechts mit solchen, wie sie in den Proverbien verwendet werden. Die kasuistischen Rechtssammlungen wurden von Priestern theologisiert, indem sie JWHW als deren Urheber einsetzten, um den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt zu stärken.

Abstract The five cases of לֹא כִי in the Hebrew Bible (1Kgs 3:22–23 [3 times]; 2Kgs 20:10; Isa 30:16), which are contrasted with the more usual cases of לֹא כִּי, should not posit an additional meaning for כִי (i. e., »so« or »thus«) but be considered to have resulted from Mishnaic Hebrew interference to Biblical Hebrew. Two factors are discussed: that interference occurred between Biblical Hebrew and Mishnaic Hebrew and that לֹא כִי in Mishnaic Hebrew means »Not so«.
