Biblical Traditions as Resistance Literature
175
The Integrity of the Legal System and the Fate of the Kingdom
Regarding the accusation found in the centerpiece of the book of Amos, the concentrically arranged composition of 5:1-17, it has been rightly stated that the divine anger proclaimed by »Amos« which eventually brought about the downfall of the kingdom of Israel was provoked by purposeful corruption of the legal system and exploitative economic arrangements facilitated by it. Furthermore, the perpetrators are not to be sought among the urban elite …
Social Criticism in the Book of Amos in Light of Recent Archaeological Research
Amos is marked by strident social criticism depicting enormous affluence of the elite, particularly in Samaria. On what appears to be the other side of the coin, there are simple peasants under increasing economic pressure. The present article contributes to an ongoing discussion regarding the historical background of this literary evidence. It argues that contrary to an overly skeptical view prevailing in parts of exegetical research, there is i…
The Land Remains to be Possessed«
Starting out from the observation that, in the conquest account of the book of Joshua, Joshua is said to have given the land to Israel for an inheritance while no such action is reported in any detail, the present paper first highlights the specific profile of the Deuteronomistic Joshua story. Building on the picture that emerges as well as on the well-founded position that the land distribution account did not originally belong to this story, it…
Borders and Space in the Book of Joshua
The Constellation of Agents
Ever since the pioneering studies of George Mendenhall, Klaus Baltzer, Dennis McCarthy, and Moshe Weinfeld, the structural analogies between Deuteronomy and ancient Near Eastern treaties have been a key issue in the scholarly study of the book. More recently, the hypothesis that Deuteronomy 13* and 28* could even represent a Hebrew rendering of the Neo-Assyrian Succession Treaties of Esarhaddon has prompted a yet intensified investigation of the …
Citations, Allusions, and Marking Them in the Hebrew Bible
Citing other texts or alluding to them, authors deliberately opt to rely on the readiness and ability of their readers to cooperate in the production of meaning. Hence it is only natural to reckon with the possibility that a given author would mark citations and allusions in such a way as to enable readers to realize the intended reference more easily. While the marking of textual references is well-investigated in comparative literature, with re…

Exegetik des Alten Testaments
Zur Exegese des Alten Testaments wird ein differenziertes, weithin unstrittiges und mithin relativ stabiles Instrumentarium an Methoden und Arbeitsschritten genutzt. Materialiter blickt die jüngere alttestamentliche Forschung indes auf tiefgreifende Umbrüche, insbesondere die Auflösung jahrzehntelang geltender Konsense zurück. Dieser Stand der Dinge wirft die Frage auf, wie die Diastase zwischen einem stabilen Methodenkanon und nachhaltigem Disse…
Eigensinn und Entstehung der Hebräischen Bibel
Historisch betrachtet, sind die biblischen Überlieferungen als adressatenbezogene Mitteilungsliteratur anzusprechen. So wenig sie selbst akademische Glasperlenspiele sind, so wenig kann es ihre Auslegung sein. Umgekehrt erweist sich die damit aufgeworfene Frage nach dem Eigensinn der jeweiligen Überlieferung als entscheidender Schlüssel auch zur Rekonstruktion ihrer Entstehung. Angeregt von diesem exegetischen Programm Erhard Blums, legen dreiund…
Die Bedingungen des Bundes
Die Beschreibung der Gottesbeziehung Israels als Bund hat in der deuteronomisch-deuteronomistischen, der priesterlichen und der prophetischen Überlieferung des Alten Testaments drei je eigenständige Ausprägungen erfahren. Joachim J. Krause nimmt diese unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ihrer jeweiligen konditionalen Struktur in den Blick. Dabei erweist sich die gängige, binär kodierte Frage nach 'konditionierten' versus 'unkonditionierten' Konzept…
Writing on the Heart‹ in Jeremiah 31
The interpretation of the »new covenant« in Jer 31:31–34 hinges on how to understand Yhwh’s promise to write his Torah on the heart of the Israelites. According to a widely held view, the latter aims at abrogating the institutions of the book of the Torah and its handing down by means of teaching and learning. From this point of view, Jer 31:31–34 seems to exhibit a decidedly anti-Deuteronomistic outlook. In the present article, this view is conf…
Hexateuchal Redaction in Joshua
The present paper looks for a Hexateuchal redaction in Joshua, not for an original Hexateuch, i. e., a literary work that from the outset covered the exodus and conquest. This question is posed by Joshua 24. For in this chapter, we clearly observe the endeavor to delimit a fairly fully developed proto-Pentateuch and an equally elaborate book of Joshua as a literary unit within the larger narrative continuum, thus establishing the Hexateuch as a d…
