Christum qui est Hædus Iudaeis, Agnus Nobis”
“Son of an Israelite Woman and an Egyptian Man”—Jesus as the Blasphemer (Lev 24
The short biblical story of the blasphemer (Lev 24:10–23) received a unique mystical and mythical interpretation in the Zohar .

This paper argues that various poetic aspects of these two figures illuminate the theosophic and mystical contents of their homilies as can be shown in …
