2S 7,1-17 en contexte historique, évaluation de la mise en forme et de la transmission du texte dans le débat portant sur la tradition deutéronomisteWang, Wei 08 1900 (has links)
L’objectif de ce mémoire est de mettre en lumière la mise en forme, la réception et la transmission de 2S 7,1-17 à l’intérieur du débat qui a présentement cours autour de la rédaction deutéronomiste, ainsi que de vérifier le lien possible de ce texte avec l’évolution de la pensée théologique juive issue de l’édition deutéronomiste.
Notre recherche commence par établir un texte hébreu de travail fiable grâce à la critique textuelle. L’analyse syntaxique nous permet ensuite de proposer une traduction qui soit la plus fidèle possible au texte hébreu retenu afin de mieux comprendre le sens du texte dans sa langue originale. Nous abordons, dans le troisième chapitre, la question des différentes sources littéraires ayant pu servir à la composition du texte de 2S 7,1-17. L’exploration plus détaillée de quelques pistes qui sont apparues à la suite de la critique des sources et de la réception du texte de 2S 7,1-17 par le(s) Chroniste(s), nous permet de constater qu’à l’intérieur des traditions textuelles hébraïques, la prophétie de Nathan a évolué de façon significative dans le parcours des différentes traditions de relecture.
À partir des quatres étapes de recherches, nous dégageons les éléments qui pourraient être mis en lien avec les théories existantes dans le cadre de l’histoire deutéronomiste et mettons en lumière les forces et les faiblesses des solutions proposées. Les résultats de la recherche nous permettent de penser que l’intégration de la prophétie de Nathan dans la trame historique s’expliquerait par la nécessité d’éclairer une suite d’événements selon diverses perspectives théologiques. Ce n’est qu’à partir des conditions exiliques que nous aurions le texte de 2S 7,1-17 le plus tardif offrant une réflexion sur la première histoire d’Israël. Dans ce sens, la prophétie de Nathan prendrait toute sa valeur et son extension bien au-delà de la seule histoire personnelle de David ou de Salomon. / The principal objective of this thesis is to elucidate the source materials, the reception and the transmission of 2S 7,1-17 inside the debate concerning the Deuteronomic History, as well as to verify the possible link of the text with the evolution of the Jewish theology coming from the Deuteronomic edition.
Our research begins with textual criticism in order to establish a reliable text in the Hebrew language. Then a syntactic analysis allows us to propose an accurate translation and to better understand the meaning of the text in its original language. Taking into account the results from these two first chapters, we then deal with the question concerning the different literary sources which lie behind the text of 2S 7,1-17. A more detailed exploration of some issues ensuins the source criticism and the study of the reception of 2S 7,1-17 by the Chronicler(s), show that inside the Hebrew literal traditions, the prophecy of Nathan evolved significantly in different traditions.
Based on the four steps of research, we identify the elements that could be linked with the theories existing in the debate of the Deuteronomic History, and highlight the forces and the weaknesses of the proposed solutions. The research results allow us to think that the integration of the prophecy of Nathan into history could be explained by the necessity to clarify a sequence of events according to the diverse theological perspectives. It is in the conditions of the Exile that we have the latest text of 2S 7,1-17 offering a reflection on the first history of Israel. In this meaning, the prophecy of Nathan takes all its value and its extension beyond only the personal history of David or of Solomon.

Appropriating Judean post-exilic literature in a postcolonial discourse : a case for ZimbabweRugwiji, Temba 06 1900 (has links)
The narratives about the postexilic Judean community are an ancient biblical account of the
socio-economic and political experiences of the Judeans when they were finally restored back to
Judah from Babylonian captivity. Although the Judean restoration was celebrated when they
were restored by King Cyrus’ decree, real freedom did not prevail in the Persian province of
Yehud; corruption, usury, greed, oppression, enslavement and loss of property impacted
negatively on the poor. The leadership expropriated from poor citizens land, vineyards, and
houses in exchange for food. In addition, the governors also charged heavy interest on money
borrowed by poor members of society. Parents and their children were subjected to enslavement.
In response to these corrupt practices, Nehemiah challenged the leadership to stop oppressing the
poor. Nehemiah went further to provide food to the starving Judeans and other people from
surrounding nations which served as a stimulus to strive towards alleviating poverty and starvation among communities.
By employing an approach known as hermeneutics of appropriation, this thesis
appropriates the experience of the postexilic Judean community to the post-independence
Zimbabwean context. Between the years 1999 and 2008 many people lost their lives due to
unemployment and lack of income, shelter, nutrition, and access to health-care facilities because
of the economic meltdown following the controversial fast-track land reform programme in
Zimbabwe. The majority of people are still experiencing the negative impact of the land reform
as people strive to make a living in the absence of jobs and income scarcity. Corruption by the
leadership has continued to further exacerbate starvation among the poor until today.This study attempts to employ the biblical Nehemiah’s social justice reforms (Neh 5) to
challenge the Zimbabwean leadership to focus on rebuilding the country which was ravaged by a
decade of both political and socio-economic crises. Lessons drawn from Nehemiah would be
used to stimulate the leadership in the Zimbabwean government and members of society at large,
to strive towards helping the poor and alleviating poverty. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Biblical Studies)

Judah and her neighbours in the seventh century BCEAsher, Adèle Hazel Esmè 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis investigates the period in Judah which took place precisely a century
between the death ofHezekiah (687 BCE) and the final fall of Jerusalem (587 BCE)
Seldom has a nation experienced so many dramatically sudden reversals of fortune in
so relatively short a time. Throughout the first half of the seventh century BCE the
Assyrian empire reigned supreme. In the second half, in rapid succession, Judah, as a
vassal, experienced periods of independence and of subjection, first to Egypt, then to
Babylonia, before finally destroying herself in a futile rebellion against the latter.
The aim of the thesis was to set Judah in the global context and investigate the role she
played. To this end the Great Powers, namely Assyria, Egypt and Babylonia were
surveyed, as well as were the Small Powers, like Judah, Phoenicia and the
Transjordanian states, and the relationships probed.
The thesis traces the life of the wicked but extraordinarily successful King Manasseh,
and his equally reprobate son, Amon, who was brutally murdered by his servants, and
was avenged by 'the people of the land'. Josiah is the only monarch who fits the
Deuteronomistic requirements of a good king. Religious and national reform generally
go hand in hand with politics, and the cultic reform and centralization of the cult
characterise his reign. ·
With the fall of Assyria, the temporary surge into prominence by Egypt and the tragic
death of Josiah in 609 BCE, Judah experienced radical political fluctuations and with
them alternate subjugation by, and rebellion against, each of the major powers.
Inexperienced leadership and a situation of dual kings, followed Josiah's death. The
rapidly changing international scene demanded of the rulers of Judah skillful
manoeuvring and exceptional adaptability, and frequently confronted them with
ominous political situations. Judaean leaders and the puppet King Zedekiah, propped
up by false prophets, failed to grasp the shift in the balance of power, and clung to
questionable Egyptian aid against the new world power, Babylonia. Highly vulnerable
and left in the lurch, Jerusalem faced protracted siege and famine in Jerusalem,
destruction ofthe Temple, and deportation ofthe cream ofher people. / Classics and Modern European Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (Judaica)

L'institution des nipûtum dans les royaumes paléo-babyloniens, 2000-1600 av. J.-C.Scouflaire, Marie-France A. 28 April 2008 (has links)
Les deux codes de lois de l'époque babylonienne ancienne consacrent plusieurs rubriques à la nipûtum, elles ont été transcrites, traduites et commentées à de multiples reprises. D’autre part, des dizaines de textes éparpillés, auxquels il n'est fait que de vagues allusions dans les commentaires, abordent le même sujet; chaque fois qu'ils sont cités, ils ne le sont que parce qu'ils peuvent éclairer un peu le sens des codes .<p>Nous avons décidé d'agir en sens contraire de la recherche traditionnelle et de proposer une définition de la nipûtum grâce aux textes de la pratique .Les codes semblent en effet traiter de l'anormal plutôt que du normal .La nipûtum n'y est définie qu'en termes d'abus :saisie non justifiée ou mauvais traitements pouvant entraîner la mort de la personne saisie .De plus, ils ne parlent de la nipûtum qu'en cas de dettes et seulement pour des opérations entre particuliers, mettant face à face un banquier tout puissant et un citoyen pauvre en difficulté .<p>L'institution des nipûtum se met tout d'abord en valeur par sa grande extension chronologique, elle est présente dès le début des dynasties amorrites jusqu’au dernier roi de Babylone, soit pendant trois siècles .En ce qui concerne la répartition géographique, elle est en usage dans l'ensemble de la Mésopotamie, du nord au sud, de Sippar à Ur, et d'est en ouest, même dans des zones tout à fait éloignées, comme Mari .<p>\ / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

L'introduction et la diffusion de la technologie du bronze en Syrie-Mésopotamie, (IVe-Ier millénaires): genèse d'un artisanatVerardi, Virginia 24 February 2005 (has links)
L’arrivée d’un nouveau matériau et d’un nouvel artisanat s’accompagne toujours de profondes transformations dans la société qui l’adopte. Notre étude porte sur l’introduction de la technologie du bronze en Syrie-Mésopotamie, sur sa diffusion progressive et sur ses incidences sociales durant toute l’histoire proche-orientale du quatrième au second millénaire. Cet artisanat, consistant, dans sa définition simple, en la mise au point d’un alliage de cuivre et d’étain, est arrivé très tôt dans cette région pourtant dénuée de tout minerai. Les vestiges archéologiques et les données textuelles révèlent la rapidité des transformations qui en découlèrent, touchant la structure sociale et les mentalités et s’accompagnant de nouvelles conceptions dans l’organisation de l’habitat. / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation langue et littérature / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Historical methodology of Ancient Israel and the archive as historical a priori in the discourses of the Lachish reliefsKellner, Ronel 11 1900 (has links)
The archive as a site of ‘knowledge retrieval’* has long been the exemplary domain of astute historical inquiry. Following the recent ‘historic turn’* to address the politics of knowledge in the broader human and historical sciences, rather than its function as a site of ‘knowledge retrieval’*, I will reflect on the function of the archive as a site of ‘knowledge production’* in the writing of the histories of ancient Israel. Aligned within the conversations among historians and archivists and the new archival turn, the research will endeavour to offer a contribution to the debate on the topic of historical methodology of ancient Israel in the disciplines of Biblical Archaeology and History of ancient Israel. I will argue that an examination into the function of the archive as historical a priori in a study of the discourses on the Lachish reliefs in the disciplines discloses the practical and theoretical tenets that converge to construct knowledge on the Lachish reliefs and hence also knowledge on ancient Israel. The research will contend that a bounded formation of knowledge on the Lachish reliefs has evolved in the disciplines since the nineteenth century that is along the British imperial archival grain.

The role of the priests in Israelite identity formation in the exilic/post-exilic period with special reference to Leviticus 19:1-19a / Rol van die priesters in die Israelitiese identiteitsvorming tydens die ballingskaps-/ na-ballingskapstydperk met spesiale verwysing na Levitikus 19:1-19aBeer, Leilani 07 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 289-298 / Source-criticism of the Pentateuch suggests that the priests (Source P) alone authored the
Holiness Code – the premise being that Source P forms one religious, literate and elite group
of several. Through the endeavor to redefine Israelite identity during the Neo-Babylonian
Empire of 626–539 BCE and the Achaemenid Persian Empire of 550–330 BCE, various
ideologies of Israelite identity were produced by various religious, literate and elite groups.
Possibly, the Holiness Code functions as the compromise reached between two such groups,
these being: the Shaphanites, and the Zadokites. Moreover, the Holiness Code functions as
the basis for the agreed identity of Israel as seen by the Shaphanites and the Zadokites.
Specifically, in Leviticus 19:1-19a – as being the Levitical decalogue of the Holiness Code,
and which forms the emphasis of this thesis – both Shaphanite and Zadokite ideologies are
expressed therein.
The Shaphanite ideology is expressed through the Mosaic tradition: i.e., through the Law;
and the Zadokite ideology is expressed through the Aaronide tradition: i.e., through the Cult.
In the debate between the supremacy of the Law, or the Cult – i.e., Moses or Aaron – the
ancient Near Eastern convention of the ‘rivalry between brothers’ is masterfully negotiated
in Leviticus 19:1-19a. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Phil. (Old Testament)
