How Prophecy Critiquing Socio-Economic Injustice Transformed into Law: The Cases of the Covenant Code and Early Prophetic Texts

Shawn Jiang

Page range: 441-457

Abstract

The present article investigates how prophetic critiques of socio-economic injustice turned into a legal discourse in the process of the theologization of laws in the Covenant Code. The article argues that the initial formation and development of the notion of divine law depended heavily on the prophetic traditions denouncing socio-economic injustice, on both thematic and terminological levels, and that this process reflects the social and economic situation of the late eighth through the seventh centuries BCE.

Weisheitliche Proverbienredaktion und ihre Amalgamierung mit keilschriftrechtlicher Redaktionstechnik in den Sammlungen kasuistischer Rechtssätze im biblischen Recht

Eckart Otto

Page range: 458-482

Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die Rechts- und Literargeschichte des Kasuistischen Rechts im Bundesbuch und Deuteronomium lässt sich anhand dreier Phasen beschreiben: die Entstehung einzelner kasuistischer Rechtssätze, ihre Redaktion im weisheitlichen Kontext und ihre priesterliche Theologisierung. Bei der Redaktion kasuistischer Rechtssätze verschmolzen Techniken des Keilschriftrechts mit solchen, wie sie in den Proverbien verwendet werden. Die kasuistischen Rechtssammlungen wurden von Priestern theologisiert, indem sie JWHW als deren Urheber einsetzten, um den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt zu stärken.

The Casuistic Law in Leviticus, the New Marmarini Inscription, and the Eloulaia and Nisanaia Festivals

Guy Darshan

Page range: 483-499

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight a series of similarities between Leviticus and an extraordinary Greek inscription that was discovered in Marmarini (Greece) and published during the recent decade (CGRN 225 = SEG 65–376). As this inscription contains instructions and regulations for ritual conduct, as well as reflects many unique Near Eastern features, it serves in this paper as the basis for a new comparative study that has significant ramifications on our understanding of the casuistic law in Leviticus, and the formation of the Priestly material in the Pentateuch.

Verbal Irony in Translation: LXX Amos 4:4–5, Isaiah 47:12–13, Ezekiel 28:3–5

Matthew Pawlak

Page range: 500-514

Abstract

This study explores the use of verbal irony in three case studies across the Septuagint Prophets: Amos 4:4–5, Isa 47:12–13, and Ezek 28:3–5. In the MT, all three of these passages make use of verbal irony to express criticism. The prophets’ critiques remain in the LXX versions, but do not contain verbal irony in some cases. This paper aims to discern how each translator has approached rendering the verbal irony of the Hebrew parent text by describing the observable results of the translation process on linguistic and rhetorical levels.

לֹא כִי and Mishnaic Hebrew Interference to Biblical Hebrew

Dong-Hyuk Kim

Page range: 515-521

Abstract

The five cases of לֹא כִי in the Hebrew Bible (1Kgs 3:22–23 [3 times]; 2Kgs 20:10; Isa 30:16), which are contrasted with the more usual cases of לֹא כִּי, should not posit an additional meaning for כִי (i. e., »so« or »thus«) but be considered to have resulted from Mishnaic Hebrew interference to Biblical Hebrew. Two factors are discussed: that interference occurred between Biblical Hebrew and Mishnaic Hebrew and that לֹא כִי in Mishnaic Hebrew means »Not so«.
