The literary ambiguity of the Solomon narratives in First Kings

Snyder, Jason L. January 2002 (has links)
A coherent reading of the Solomon Narratives in First Kings is obstructed by a variety of textual contradictions and uncertainties.  Such difficulties can be approached through a variety of interpretive and critical schemes.  Using a literary/stylistic approach, the difficulties are perceived as components of a larger narrative format, of which an ambiguous tone towards Solomon is integral.  This ambiguity is maintained by the presence of two literary forces in the text.  The first is an overt presence of Deuteronomic values supplied through various agencies.  Larger Deuteronomic themes of blessing are situated in the text which herald Solomon as one who achieved Deuteronomic privileges for his kingdom.  Other Deuteronomic principles are dispersed through a seven-fold selection of Deuteronomic terms, placed in a context of contingency and exhortation.  The chiastic arrangement of these Deuteronomic word-clusters highlights national solidarity and contingence. The cumulative force of these Deuteronomic elements contributes a pro-Solomonic tone to the text.  The second literary force is a sustained ambiguity which is provided through a variety of stylistic devices designed to subvert a purely one-dimensional favourable vision of Solomon.  The consequent ambiguity is not an autonomous feature within 1-2 Kings, however.  Instead, the ambiguous tone towards Solomon and his accomplishments provides the thematic and narrative framework by which Josiah, Solomon’s narrative foil, will be later presented.  The accounts of these two monarchs are connected through a complex of literary and thematic elements common to both accounts, one of which is the reissuing of the Deuteronomic word-clusters found in the Solomon Narratives.

The Torah and the Deuteronomic History: Revisions under persian influence in the socio-historical context of the post- exilic period. Post-Graduate Program Stricto sensu in Religious Studies Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás, 2010. The state of the question concerning the terminologies of the Tetrateuch, Pentateuch, Hexateuch and Enneateuch is revisited in this thesis. The social, political, religious, literary questions as well as the end of the persian empire are emphasized. One can verify that during this period the texts were reformulated due to Persian demands. It can be observed in this composition of texts that there were evident modifications and insertions from priestly and deuteronomist editions in the books of the Torah and the Former Prophets. The socio-historical context and the documentary sources of the Persian Period are analyzed in order to comprehend the reconstruction of the Torah texts and the Deuteronomic History. These revisions are discussed in terms of the North American model of the Canonical Approach, in terms of a Latin American reading of the Torah and Deuteronomic History, in terms of the Law in and beyond Torah. The reformulations of the writings of the Torah and Deuteronomic History are described and the reformulations of these texts in the Post-Exilic Period. The edition and the deuteronomist revisions in the writings of the Deuteronomic History that occurred due to the influence of the Law and the socio-historical context of this period as well as the later editions and the deuteronomist traditions in the narratives of Samuel and Kings are studied together with later editions and deuteronomist traditions of the Joshuah and Judges narratives. / SOTELO, Daniel Martins.

Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Ciências da Religião: Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás, 2010. A tese revisita o estado de questão das terminologias do Tetrateuco, Pentateuco, Hexateuco e Eneateuco. Enfatizam-se as questões sociais, políticas, religiosas, literárias e o fim deste império persa. Verifica-se que nesse período os textos foram reformulados em razão das exigências da política persa. Observa-se que, nessa composição dos textos, houve modificações sensíveis e foram inseridos textos de redações Sacerdotais e de redações Deuteronomistas nos livros da Torah e dos Profetas Anteriores. Analisa-se o contexto sócio-histórico e as fontes documentais no Período Persa para a compreensão das reconstruções dos textos da Torah e da Obra Historiográfica Deuteronomista. Fala-se das revisões a partir do modelo norte-americano do cannonical approach; da leitura sobre a Torah e da Obra Historiográfica Deuteronomista a partir da America Latina; da lei na Torah e para além dela. Descrevem-se as reformulações dos escritos da Torah e da Obra Historiográfica Deuteronomista; as reformulações desses textos no pós-exílio. Discutem-se a redação e as revisões Deuteronomistas nos escritos da Obra Historiográfica Deuteronomista sob a influência da lei e do contexto sócio-histórico do pós-exílio; as redações posteriores e as tradições do Deuteronomista nas narrativas de Samuel e Reis; as redações posteriores e a tradições Deuteronomistas nas narrativas de Josué e Juízes.

Honor and Shame in the Deuteronomic Covenant and the Deuteronomistic Presentation of the Davidic Covenant

Jumper, James Nicholas 07 December 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation is to identify the semantics of honor and shame in the Hebrew Bible and to demonstrate how these social values intersect with Israel's fundamental social organizing principle, covenant. Though many scholars have claimed that honor and shame are pivotal values for biblical Israel and that covenant is fundamental to her conception of the divine-human relationship, no work attempting to explore the juncture of these two important social phenomena has appeared. Thus, our study has two major goals: (1) establish the semantics of honor and shame in the Hebrew Bible; and (2) demonstrate that honor and shame, however conceived in context, are pivotal to biblical Israel's understanding of her covenantal relationship with YHWH in Deuteronomy 28 and 2 Samuel 7. With regard to Deuteronomy 28, which defines Israel’s understanding of covenantal fidelity, we show that honor is depicted as pre-eminent military and economic status among the nations and as a major goal of the covenantal blessings and designed to motivate Israel to greater loyalty (vv. 1, 13). Shame, however, is not just the loss of pre-eminent status (vv. 44, 48), but also the loss of social existence (v. 68). The explicit covenantal formulation of both values appears unique to Israel, despite her adoption of other ancient Near Eastern covenantal forms.With regard to the 2 Samuel 7, we argue YHWH honors David and Zadok with eternal royal and priestly positions because Saul and Eli failed to honor YHWH (e.g., 1 Sam 2:30), but also because David and Zadok would be loyal (e.g., 2:35). As a result, David will be given “a name like the name of all of the great ones of the earth” (2 Sam 7:9), denoting David’s military superiority (8:13). Moreover, we show that from a Deuteronomistic prespective, the discipline of the Davidides in 2 Samuel 7:14–15, entails royal shaming (1 Kgs 11:31). Thus, we prove that, while honor and shame are variously conceived in both covenants, they are pivotal to our understanding of the divine-human relationship in the Hebrew Bible. / Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations

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 deutéronomiste

Wang, 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.

The term berith (covenant) in the Historical and Wisdom Books of the Old Testament

Linington, Silvia 11 1900 (has links)
This work is concerned with the word berith (covenant) in the historical and wisdom books of the Old Testament, and continues research done in previous articles on berith in the Pentateuch and the prophetic literature. The main aim is to discuss in some detail the texts containing the word berith in the historical and wisdom books of the Old Testament and to examine the meaning and use of the word in these writings. The interrelationships between berith and other words in the contexts in which they appear are explored and explained. Finally, berith in the historical and wisdom books usually refers to one of the covenants of the Pentateuch, and which of these is applicable in each case will also be discussed. / Old Testament & Ancient NE / M.Th.

Problematika sexuality v Pentateuchu / Problems of the Lechery and Adultery in the Pentateuch

CHOCOVÁ, Blanka January 2012 (has links)
The work deals with exegetic-ethical analysis of sexual motives in the Pentateuch. It aims to analyse as well as to systematize the issue of human sexuality in the Five Books of Moses, and to create a compact illustration of the problem. The major part of the work includes an analysis of sexual motives in significant legal regulations - the Ten Commandments, the Covenant Code, the Holiness Code and the Deuteronomic Code. However, the other parts of the Pentateuch must not be left out of consideration and are covered in a separate chapter. The final part tries to synthesize the obtained findings and evaluate systematically the basic sexual questions appearing in the Five Books of Moses.

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 19:1-19a

Beer, 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.
