  • Third and Last

    Jonathan Yogev, Shamir YonaARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2021

    One of the most famous stories in Ugaritic literature is the legend of Aqht that was found at Ras Shamra, Syria, during the early 1930s. Written in Ugaritic script and spread over three worn and broken tablets, this text has been thoroughly studied for the past eighty years. More than a few studies have dealt with the following questions: Is the end of the known text in the third tablet really the end of the story? Or is there perhaps a missing t…

  • Concatenation in Ancient Near East Literature, Hebrew Scripture and Rabbinic Literature

    Shamir Yona, Ariel Ram PasternakARTICLEReview of Rabbinic Judaism2019

    This paper follows the development of concatenation from its early use in Ancient Near Eastern literature through its use in the Hebrew Bible, in Hebrew Ben-Sira, and ultimately in Rabbinic literature. We demonstrate that the Rabbis adopted this rhetorical pattern for stylistic purposes and also used it as an editing device. The latter use of the rhetorical device in question is only rarely attested in the Hebrew Bible

  • The Use of Numbers as an Editing Device in Rabbinic Literature

    Ariel Ram Pasternak, Shamir YonaARTICLEReview of Rabbinic Judaism2017

    In the first part of this paper ( Review of Rabbinic Literature 19:2, pp. 202–244) we followed the use of numbers from the Bible and Ancient Near Eastern literatures through the book of Ben-Sira and ultimately into Rabbinic literature. We showed that the Rabbis were familiar with the Biblical use of numbers as a rhetoric device and used numbers in similar ways. In this conclusion of our paper we will show how the Rabbis used numbers as an editing…

  • Numerical Sayings in the Literatures of the Ancient Near East, in the Bible, in the Book of Ben-Sira and in Rabbinic Literature

    Ariel-Ram Pasternak, Shamir YonaARTICLEReview of Rabbinic Judaism2016

    This paper follows the use of numbers from the Bible and Ancient Near Eastern literature, through the book of Ben-Sira, and ultimately to the Rabbinic literature. We show that the Rabbis were familiar with the Biblical use of numbers as rhetorical devices and used numbers in the same ways that the Bible did

  • The “Better” Proverb in Rabbinic Literature

    Ariel Ram Pasternak, Shamir YonaARTICLEReview of Rabbinic Judaism2014

    The “Better Proverb” is a rhetorical form found in ancient Near Eastern literatures, including the Bible, and in Rabbinic literature. In this paper we discuss the use of this form in Rabbinic literature, focusing on the developments and changes that occurred in the later literature. We will show that the rabbis were familiar with biblical rhetorical features, used them, and changed them if needed to meet their own rhetorical purposes and goals
