  • The Background of Malachi’s Final Prophecy (Mal 3

    Open AccessItamar KislevARTICLEVetus Testamentum2026

    The eschatological prophecy in Mal 3:13–21 has many singularities. It is exceptional in relation to the other prophecies in the book of Malachi as well as to the other eschatological prophecies and concepts in the entire Hebrew Bible. One of these unique elements is the absence of any national component from Malachi’s last prophecy. Another important element is the unparalleled description of the “day” and the character of the experience of the r…

  • The »Borders of the Land of Canaan« Document (Num 34:1-12)

    Itamar KislevARTICLEHebrew Bible and Ancient Israel2023

    In the context of the debate regarding the date, nature, and scope of the Priestly writings, the book of Numbers and its role in the formation of the Pentateuch has received much attention. Investigation of the relationship between the chapters that treat the settlement in the land of Canaan in Numbers and Joshua is crucial for the assessment of the place of the book of Numbers in the compositional process of the Pentateuch. I propose here to exa…

  • The Core of the Sacrificial Calendar in Num 28–29 and Its Compositional History

    Itamar KislevARTICLEZeitschrift für die Alttestamentlic…2021

    To date, scholarly examination of the developed legal section in Numbers 28–29 has taken place in the context of its relationship to the Lev 23 festival calendar and other pentateuchal calendars (Exod 23:14–19; 34:18–26; Deut 16:1–17) and its place in the formation of the Pentateuch. Independent analysis of this unit has the ability to illuminate this unit’s formation, probably the product of a long editorial process, enables isolation of the sta…

  • Abraham b. Ezra’s ‘spirantized peh in the Arabic language’

    Miriam Goldstein, Itamar KislevARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies2016

    Abraham b. Ezra’s use of the phrase ‘spirantized peh [ peh rafah ] in the Arabic language’ paralleling the function of the Biblical Hebrew vav with that of the Arabic fā’ has long been viewed as perplexing: often the proposed syntactic function does not accord with the usage of the classical Arabic conjunction fa- . Ibn Ezra had Judeo-Arabic usage in mind, where fā’ takes on numerous functions beyond the strict boundaries of classical Arabic – an…

  • The Relationship between the Torah Commentaries Composed by R. Abraham Ibn Ezra in France and the Significance of this Relationship for the Biographical Chronology of the Commentator

    Itamar KislevARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies2009Cited by: 1

    R. Abraham Ibn Ezra composed in France his 'second recension' (תרחא הטיש) to Genesis and his 'long commentary' to Exodus, and most scholars believe that these are parts of a single recension. This belief caused a contradiction among details of Ibn Ezra's biography and led to the accepted solution that Ibn Ezra was born in 4849 AM (1089 CE) and died in 4924 AM (1164 CE). The clarification of the distinctive character and structure of the second re…
