Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for the Study of the Old Testament > 33/4 (2009) . - pp. 465-488. Titre : Jeremiah 44 : What if `the Queen of Heaven'is YHWH? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Teresa Ann Ellis, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 465-488. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Jeremiah 44 provides an image unusual within prophetic literature—the prophet's female adversaries are not portrayed in terms of sexuality. Jeremiah denounces a group of Judean women and men who revere `the Queen of Heaven'. His central accusation is that they have caused YHWH's anger, and thus the fall of the kingdom of Judah. Yet, this article maintains, there is sufficient textual evidence for readers to construct an alternate scenario that vindicates the Queen of Heaven's supporters in their counter-accusation that it was not their actions that angered YHWH but the actions of the Judean kings who opposed making offerings to the Queen of Heaven. In this case, what relations between the Queen of Heaven and YHWH might be portrayed? [article] Jeremiah 44 : What if `the Queen of Heaven'is YHWH?
