Representing Yhwh as the master of the stars in the context of ancient Near Eastern astral cults
This article examines the representation of Yhwh as master of the stars in the books of Amos (4:13; 5:8; 9:5-6) and Job (chapters 9 and 38). These passages propose a unique divine configuration in which Yhwh is presented not only as the creator of the constellations but also as the holder of ordered cosmic knowledge, breaking with the prophetic tradition that devalued astronomy and astral cults. The analysis places these texts in the broader cont…
To Eat or Not to Eat
Anna Angelini and Peter Altmann address pivotal issues on the biblical dietary prohibitions and their significance as practices and texts through philological, zooarchaeological, iconographic, and comparative ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman lenses. They explore theoretical frameworks adopted in modern interpretation, possible origins in relation to ancient Israelite religion and society, and location in relation to Priestly terminology and D…
Biblical law, royal decrees and jurisdiction
This introductory essay sets the research topics addressed in this dossier, namely the study of the processes of adaptation and rewriting of law in the Hebrew Bible, in the Septuagint and in the broader context of the legal traditions of the ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman milieu. It highlights, moreover, the potential that a contrastive analysis of different corpora (especially the Septuagint and Judeo-Hellenistic literature), provides to …
A Comparative Approach to Divine Names in the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, and their Ancient Contexts
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
Divine Names from the Hebrew Bible to the Septuagint
Focusing on the translation of Shadday as a test case, this paper advances a methodology to approach the study of divine names and epithets in ancient Jewish traditions. Unlike other divine epithets, the renderings of Shadday in Greek are divergent and inconsistent, although some patterns can be detected. The fact that the epithet was probably received as a divine attribute by translators with a blurred knowledge of its etymological meaning made …
Food Taboos and Biblical Prohibitions
This volume presents contributions from »The Larger Context of the Biblical Food Prohibitions: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approaches« conference held in Lausanne in June, 2017. The biblical food prohibitions constitute an excellent object for comparative and interdisciplinary approaches given their materiality, their nature as comparative objects between cultures, and their nature as an anthropological object. This volume articulates these…
The Reception and Idealization of the Torah in the Letter of Aristeas
In the Letter of Aristea, the dietary laws are presented as a paradigm for the entire Torah. However, the summary of the dietary laws provided by the author of the Letter for the most does not quote literally the biblical texts, but shows a considerable degree of interpretation of these laws. This paper examines the relationship between biblical traditions and Greek cultural referents in the presentation of the dietary and sacrificial laws of the…
