TL;DR: In this article, an examen comparatif de la forme du TM par rapport au texte final des LXX, articule sur l'interpretation du chapitre 45, conduit l'A. a conclure a l'anteriorite du premier sur les plans a la fois synchronique et diachronique.
Abstract: La description deuteronomique de Moise comme premier prophete de la generation du desert fournit le theme majeur autour duquel s'organise le travail des derniers redacteurs du livre de Jeremie. Un examen comparatif de la forme du TM par rapport au texte final des LXX, articule sur l'interpretation du chapitre 45, conduit l'A. a conclure a l'anteriorite du premier sur les plans a la fois synchronique et diachronique

TL;DR: In this paper, l'A. reprend l'analyse d'Exode 24 : 3-8, piece centrale du dossier, and examine le symbolisme culinaire de ce sacrifice, qui se revele un systeme coherent, par lequel les Israelites exprimaient les relations morales de leur religion.
Abstract: Critique de la theorie evolutionniste du sacrifice sanglant en Israel par W. R. Smith (1889), qui n'a pas perdu toute influence : du sacrifice " primitif " au sacrifice " civilise ". L'A. reprend l'analyse d'Exode 24 : 3-8, piece centrale du dossier. Il evoque la relation possible de cette pericope avec les fetes de pelerinage, qui nous font comprendre les fonctions sociales du sacrifice israelite. Enfin, l'A. examine le symbolisme culinaire de ce sacrifice, qui se revele un systeme coherent, par lequel les Israelites exprimaient les relations morales de leur religion

TL;DR: The rebellion of Miriam and Aaron, Nombres 12, this article, peut bien etre la synthese de plus d'une tradition, il n'en offre pas moins une coherence litteraire.
Abstract: Le recit de la rebellion de Miriam et Aaron, Nombres 12, peut bien etre la synthese de plus d'une tradition, il n'en offre pas moins une coherence litteraire. Miriam et Aaron denient a Moise sa preeminence. Aaron n'est qu'un comparse falot, il ne sera pas puni. Miriam est motivee par la jalousie : Moise a epouse une Koushite. L'attitude humble et misericordieuse de Moise est mise particulierement en valeur

TL;DR: The social functions and symbolism of Israelite sacrifice, centering on the ceremony depicted in Exodus 24,3-8, are examined in this paper, and the culinary symbolism of sacrifice is examined and found to articulate a coherent symbolic System, through which the Israelites expressed the moral relationships of their religious world.
Abstract: An examination of the social functions and symbolism of Israelite sacrifice, centering on the ceremony depicted in Exodus 24,3-8. The study begins with a discussion and criticism of some of the major tendencies in the modern study of Israelite sacrifice beginning with W. Robertson Smith. The connection of Exodus 24,3 8 with the pilgrimage festivals of ancient Israel is then considered, followed by a discussion of the relevance of V. Turner's theory of the »pilgrimage process« for our understanding of the social functions of Israelite sacrifice. Finally the culinary symbolism of Israelite sacrifice is examined and found to articulate a coherent symbolic System, through which the Israelites expressed the moral relationships of their religious world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a verallgemeinerung des hier erzielten Ergebnisses vorsichtig sein, e.g., in the 10. Jahrhundert datiert werden.
Abstract: zählung wird man mit einer Verallgemeinerung des hier erzielten Ergebnisses vorsichtig sein. In ihrer vordeuteronomistischen Überlieferungsgestalt kann die Erzählung vom König David jedenfalls kaum in das 10. Jahrhundert datiert werden. Künftige Untersuchungen werden zu klären haben, ob II Sam 11 f. und I Reg l f. überhaupt schon zum Grundbestand der sogenannten Thronfolgeerzählung gehören und nicht erst eine sekundäre Rahmung der Absalomerzählung darstellen, aber auch diese bedarf der literarischen und tendenzkritischen Würdigung, bevor man sie in Historie umsetzt.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the prophet did not need a specific foe in mind, nor did säpon need the foe in the first place, and that the foe from the north was not a specific adversary in the prophet's mind.
Abstract: »need« säpon, nor did säpon »need« the foe. Both were available äs elements of judgement speech and were subject to creative Variation. It is unnecessary to think that the prophet must have had a specific foe in mind. It can be misleading, then, to speak of »the foe from the north« traditions in monolithic terms: descriptions of the foe vary from mysterious to human to natural agencies; säpon is better thought of äs a proper name, Yahweh's dwelling place, than a compass point. This motif is one which announces destruction expected on the human plane of affairs in terms which have contacts with »myth«.

TL;DR: In this paper, the history of David et Bethsabee (II Samuel 11) is presented as a composition circulaire, and the motifs litteraires jette le doute sur l'historicite du recit qui ne peut donc remonter.
Abstract: L'histoire de David et de Bethsabee (II Samuel 11) est presentee selon une composition circulaire. Les versets 10b-12 apparaissent comme une interpretation posterieure de tendance antiroyaliste. L'usage de motifs litteraires jette le doute sur l'historicite du recit qui ne peut donc remonter au 10e s. av. J.-C.

TL;DR: In the case of the Book of Jeremiah, some scholars confidently identify the foe from the north, while others doubt that the foe can be identified at all as discussed by the authors, and most approaches can be grouped into one of two categories relating the identity of the foe to the character of the tradition.
Abstract: The theme of the »foe from the north« is prominent in the Book of Jeremiah. While many scholars confidently identify the foe, others doubt that the foe can be identified at all. Most approaches can be grouped into one of two categories relating the identity of the foe to the character of the tradition. If the foe is thought to be specific and identifiable, it follows that the tradition is historical or this-worldly; if, on the other hand, the foe is thought to be non-specific and unidentifiable, the tradition is characterized äs mythical. This could be shown äs follows:

TL;DR: One hand and the symmetrical inner construction, or ring-composition, of each collection on the other. as discussed by the authors The Book of Jeremiah consists of four collections: I. 1-24 visions, prophecies and laments, mostly undated; II. 25-36, separate episodes, all dated; III. 37-45, a continuous ''biography of Jeremiah; IV. 46, 51 oracles against the nations.
Abstract: one hand and the symmetrical inner construction, or ring-composition, of each collection on the other. Four collections constitute the Book of Jeremiah: I. 1-24 visions, prophecies and laments, mostly undated; II. 25-36 — separate episodes, all dated; III. 37-45 — a continuous »biography« of Jeremiah; IV. 46 —51 oracles against the nations. Most typical is the pattern of inclusio. Collection I opens and closes with visions (1,11-14; 24). Collections II and III are enclosed by the 4th year of Jehoiakim (chs. 25; 36; 45), a crucial date that marked the beginning of the Babylonian supremacy. Besides, in collection II the five episodes from the reign of Zedekiah (27; 28; 29; 32; 34) are framed by the four from the days of Jeohoiakim (25; 26; 35; 36). The ring composition of collection IV was obtained by enclosing the nations by the two major powers: Egypt first (eh. 46), Babylon last (chs. 50-51). Later redactional operations, such äs the formation of the »book of consolation« (chs. 30-33) or the shift of collection IV to its place according to Jer-LXX (after 25,13), blurred out the original plan of the book.

TL;DR: In this article, the literarische Gestalt von Jdc 4,1-24 beschreiben, um vor allem hinsichtlich der Einheitlichkeit und der vor der schriftlichen Fixierung überlieferten mündlichen Vorstufen des Textes Feststellungen treffen zu können.
Abstract: Die Studie möchte die literarische Gestalt von Jdc 4,1—24 beschreiben, um vor allem hinsichtlich der Einheitlichkeit und der vor der schriftlichen Fixierung überlieferten mündlichen Vorstufen des Textes Feststellungen treffen zu können. Sie will keine Antworten auf das formund redaktionskritische Problem des Kapitels, die Frage nach dem geographischen Rahmen, dem Verhältnis von Jdc 4,1—24 zu 5 ,1—3l 3 und der Datierung der Deboraschlacht geben, da dies den Rahmen der Untersuchung sprengen würde.

TL;DR: In this paper, a list of parts of the body is used to compare parallel word pairs, including the pair of "eye(s)" and "heart" (see Section 3, above).
Abstract: list of parts of the body. The word pair »eye(s)« // »heart«, then., seems to have been more acceptable to Hebrew tradition. Yet, even though some forty or fifty occurrences can be registered it was not so very common, probably because it combined two A-words. Within the pair the terms »eye(s)« and »heart« are normally synonymous even in distant parallelism. Rarely, there is antithesis between the components (see under section 3, above) and occasionally there is some degree of progression (the heart desires what the eyes see; inner turmoü causes the eyes to weep). It is clear, too, that the word pair can be used to structure a poem or a segment of a poem. Curiously, although Ib and yn are respectively masculine and feminine their gender is foregrounded only twice (Ps 19,9; Prov 27,19 -20). Though not of great significance, the pair »eye(s)« // »heart« should be included in future compilations and the data collected here, it is hoped, will be of some use in further evaluation of parallel word pairs.

Abstract: auf denen das Hebräische keine geringe Rolle spielt, sondern auch der leider Fragment gebliebene Entwurf einer hebräischen Grammatik, von der nur die Paragraphen 88 bis 122b. erhalten sind. Rückert behandelt darin u. a. die Einteilung der Verben in »verba perfectiva und inchoativa« (§88 ff.), die »Anwendung der Zeitformen auf den Verbalcharakter von perfectiv und inchoativ« (§96 ff.) sowie »Subjekt, Prädikat und Objekt in ihren gegenseitigen Verhältnissen der Übereinstimmung oder der Abhängigkeit« (§ 101 ff.). Für eine eingehende Würdigung von Rückerts Leistung als Grammatiker (gewissermaßen neben Gesenius und Ewald) sind diese 8 kleinen Blätter freilich eine zu schmale Basis; allerdings könnten sie dann von Wert sein, wenn man sie im Zusammenhang mit seinen erwähnten Übersetzungen und Auslegungen betrachtet, bzw. mit grammatischen Studien zu anderen — vorwiegend semitischen — Sprachen.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there are genuine Jeremianic words in 22,24.28-30, which dates approximately from 597 BC, and an ideological reading of this pericope shows that Jeremiah used exaggerated language in his judgement on Jehoiachin, reversed known oracles, and had definite opinions äs regards the politics of his time.
Abstract: It seems that there are genuine Jeremianic words in 22,24.28-30, which dates approximately from 597 BC. An ideological reading of this pericope shows that Jeremiah used exaggerated language in his judgement on Jehoiachin, reversed known oracles, and had definite opinions äs regards the politics of his time. In addition the pericope 22,24 30 is placed in the context of the cycle on the kings, 21,11-23,8 which also reflects Jeremiah's ideological viewpoint on the kings of Judah.
