David and Inaros
This study compares two cases of long-term development in the cultural memory of Assyria's western expansion during the eighth and seventh centuries BCE in two literary corpora from the eastern Mediterranean region: the narrative history of the Israelite monarchy in Samuel-Kings (especially the Saul-David narrative in the book of Samuel) and the narrative literature of Late-Period and Hellenistic-period Egypt. After discussing each of these cases…
Israel, Judah, and Neighboring Groups in the Books of Samuel
The contributors to this volume investigate the portrayal of Israel's and Judah's relations with neighboring groups in the books of Samuel (including the Philistines, Amalekites, Edomites, Arameans, and Gibeonites) from both literary and historical perspectives. In doing so, they bring together multiple methodological approaches to the topic, including analyses of the structure, ideological content, and compositional development of the narrative …
Kingmakers and Kingbreakers
In this study, Stephen Germany investigates the literary function of the Philistines and Arameans in the books of Samuel and Kings and reconstructs the compositional history and historical background of the narratives in which they appear. Within these narratives, the Philistines and Arameans serve as archetypal aggressors against Israel and Judah, casting the monarchic period as one continually defined by external threats. At the historical leve…
Book-Seams in the Hexateuch II
This volume offers the first systematic investigation of the literary transitions between the books of Numbers/Deuteronomy and Deuteronomy/Joshua. Placing a special focus on the material aspects of ancient Jewish scribal practices, it retraces the development of these literary transitions and considers the implications of the latter for the broader compositional history of the biblical books in question.
Book-Seams in the Hexateuch II
Biblical books, which were transmitted on separate scrolls in antiquity, are not necessarily identical with books in the modern sense of a coherent and self-contained compositional unit. Especially the books of the Primary History constitute a larger master narrative. This raises the question of how the distribution of the text over different scrolls relates to its compositional history. Were the respective books conceived as physically separate …
Collective Violence and Memory in the Ancient Mediterranean
This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts…
The Literary and Theological Function of the Philistines and Arameans in Chronicles
The book of Chronicles is a well-known example of how theological developments in Judah during the Persian and Hellenistic periods played a role in reshaping the received literary traditions of the Hebrew Bible. This study focuses specifically on Chronicles' narratives of violent conflicts between Israel/Judah and the Philistines and Arameans and their relationship to the portrayal of the Philistines and Arameans in Samuel-Kings. It discusses fiv…
Self-Defense as a casus belli in Ancient Mesopotamian and Hittite Literature and in the Hebrew Bible
In ancient Near Eastern literature, the concept of self-defense serves more than simply as a justification for mobilizing an in-group to commit collective violence against one or more out-groups; it also reveals important features of the religious worldviews of the societies that produced such literature. This study will compare the religious worldviews underlying the motif of self-defense in Mesopotamian literature, Hittite literature, and the H…

Concepts of Land in Numbers and Joshua
This study traces the literary development of texts related to the extent and organization of Israel's land in the books of Numbers and Joshua. The early stages of this development included the accounts of the conquest of Cisjordan in Joshua 10* and 11* and the conquest of Transjordan in Numbers 21*, while the later stages focused on the apportioning of the land to the Israelite tribes. Within these later stages, key developments included the app…

The Exodus-conquest narrative
In this study, Stephen Germany investigates the literary development of the non-priestly narratives in Exod 1-18; 19-24; 32-34; Num 10-16; 20-24; and Josh 1-12. Through a new comparison of the various literary strata in these narratives to priestly texts, the author concludes that a significant portion of the non-priestly narratives in Exodus-Joshua belong to a post-priestly stage of composition. The reconstruction of the remaining pre-priestly n…
