Titre : Joseph’s Dreams, Part One : From Abimelech to Saul Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benjamin D.H. Hilbert, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 259-283. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In Joseph, biblical writers had a seer whose divinely inspired reputation as prophetic dreamer (37.5-11), diviner (40.12-36), and clairvoyant (50.24-25) enabled him to project the interpretations of his dreams into the future. If the author has not recast, or edited, the dreams, together with the interpretations put upon them by Joseph’s family, then the historiographers of Israel’s story have adjusted the dreams to show them ‘coming true’, the first in the story of Manassite Gideon’s son Abimelech and the relationship between Ephraimite Samuel and Benjaminite Saul. The working-out of Joseph’s first dream brought to an end the first book of Samuel.

Titre : Phinehas Murdered Moses’ Wife : An Analysis of Numbers 25 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Josebert Fleurant, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 285-294. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article suggests that Numbers 25 is a chapter composed of two separate stories (the Baal Peor affair and the Phinehas narrative) and one supplement. The return of these passages to their original contexts enables the reader to recover their full meaning and to explain the tensions in the existing form of the chapter. Of the many findings the analysis makes, the most significant is the identification of the Midianite woman killed by Phinehas with Zipporah, the wife of Moses. However, it appears that the priestly redactor was not pleased with having a prophetic figure such as Moses in this predicament. Therefore, he added supplementary material to the original text, making it quite diffcult to link the Midianite woman to Moses.

Titre : Butchered Brothers and Betrayed Families : Degenerating Kinship Structures in the Book of Judges Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gordon Oeste, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 295-316. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The book of Judges depicts the general erosion of Israelite society in the pre-monarchic period. This erosion is multi-faceted and occurs at a variety of levels within the text, becoming more pronounced as one approaches the end of the book. The gradual and increasing degeneration of kinship structures within the book of Judges at the family, clan, and tribal levels typifies this degeneration. This study examines the portrayal of various kinds of kinship relationships within the book of Judges in order to show how the theme of degenerating kinship structures contributes to the theme of kingship in the book of Judges. This disintegration is then examined within the rhetorical context of the book of Judges to suggest a possible social context in which the themes of kinship and kingship could have served the interests of a Hebrew writer.

Titre : An Obedient Servant? The Reign of King Saul (1 Samuel 13—15) Reassessed Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dawn Maria Sellars, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 317-338. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article reconsiders 1 Samuel 13—15 and the negative characterization of Saul that has been perpetuated by subsequent interpreters. It considers the story of Saul’s reign in light of the account of the call for a king in 1 Samuel 8, where a narrative contrast is established between obedience to the people and obedience to God and where the subordination of the people to their king is prophesied. This article shows that a key element of 1 Samuel 13—15 is Saul’s preference for the will of the people and concludes that the fact that this contradicts the prophesied image of kingship in 1 Samuel 8 enables a more positive interpretation of Saul and his reign. Rather than a king who makes servants of his people, we encounter a king anxious to serve them.

Titre : True and False Prophecy : Jeremiah’s Revision of Deuteronomy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : HIBBARD J. Todd, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 339-358. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Deuteronomy 18.15-22 offers a criterion of predictive accuracy for judging prophets. It is argued here that Jeremiah takes up this criterion and renders it problematic. A critical examination of three passages from Jeremiah reveals the nature of the critique: Jer. 18, 26 and 28. One key aspect of this critique involves Jeremiah’s accent on YHWH potentially changing his mind (םהב). The conclusion is reached that Jeremiah de-emphasizes the role of prophet as prognosticator in favor of the view that a prophet’s role is to spur moral, social, and religious change. As a postscript, a brief examination of Jonah’s understanding of this matter demonstrates that not all prophets were in agreement on the value of Jeremiah’s change.

Titre : Of Ships and Seas, and Fish and Beasts : Viewing the Concept of Universal Providence in the Book of Jonah through the Prism of Psalms Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : FORTI Tova, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 359-374. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The book of Jonah has inspired scholarly investigation in diverse perspectives, such as debating its literary category (fable, parable, allegory), analyzing its narrative art (narrator, character roles, modes of speech, scenes), comic interpretation (satire, parody, farce), and finally defining the book of Jonah as an anthology of biblical religious thought (obedience, forgiveness, repentance, providence). This article examines the last perspective, namely, the theological, and, in particular, the concept of providence through several motifs: the sea, the ship, the great fish and behemah (‘beast’). The occurrence of these motifs in Psalm 104 (vv. 14, 24-26) and almost all of them in Psalm 8 (vv. 8-9), and the poetic echo of Jonah’s narrative in Ps. 107.23-31, 38, illuminate the universal quality of God’s cosmic providence, which stands in pivotal contradiction to Jonah’s limited concept of Israel’s God.

Titre : A Cautionary Tale : The Acts-Consequence ‘Construct’ Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Hatton, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 375-384. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In 1955 Klaus Koch asserted that the Old Testament, particularly its wisdom literature, has no concept of divine retribution and that humanity simply receives the appropriate fruit of the good or bad deeds we sow. This notion, the so-called acts—consequence construct, has become an important element in a paradigmatic approach to the wisdom books; one which attacks the sages of Proverbs as—strangely enough in view of Koch’s argument—invoking divine retribution to support their, supposedly, self-serving teachings. This article offers some critique of Koch’s original argument but focuses on the misleading way it was appropriated by English-speaking scholars.
