Abstract

In Ancient Hebrew Periodization and the Language of the Book of Jeremiah , Aaron Hornkohl defends the diachronic approach to Biblical Hebrew and the linguistic dating of biblical texts. Applying the standard methodologies to the Masoretic version of the biblical book of Jeremiah, he seeks to date the work on the basis of its linguistic profile, determining that, though composite, Jeremiah is likely a product of the transitional time between the First and Second Temple Periods. Hornkohl also contributes to unraveling Jeremiah’s complicated literary development, arguing on the basis of language that its 'short edition', as reflected in the book’s Old Greek translation, predates that 'supplementary material' preserved in the Masoretic edition but unparalleled in the Greek. Nevertheless, he concludes that neither is written in Late Biblical Hebrew proper.

Abstract

The oldest parts of the Book of Jeremiah, that according to K.-F. Pohlmann (1978), C. Levin (1985), K. Schmid (1996) and others can be found in Jeremiah 4-6, 8-10, complain of the devastation of the country by an enemy coming from the north. However, they do not name the name Jeremiah, nor can they be called "prophetic" in the ancient Near Eastern sense. In this aspect, the lamentations in Jeremiah 4: 19-22; 6.9 to 15; 8.18 to 23; 10,19-25 are subjected to a historical-critical examination and to a comprehensive comparison with the ancient Near Eastern literature of kalu. The results of the comparative study as well as the findings on the non-Biblical, ancient Near Eastern relationship of lament and prophetic literature present a new perspective on the genesis of the Jeremiah book. Because the core of the book is based on cultic complaints, lines of editorial history can be drawn on the one hand into Jeremiah's court prophecy and on the other hand into the further development of the lamentation theme up to the so-called "confessions." Further, the texts examined in Jeremiah 4-6; 8-10; 7; 11; 14-15 offer new conclusions about the representation of the literary Jeremiah as an intercessor and court prophet.

Abstract

There is a longstanding scholarly debate on the nature of prophecy in ancient Israel. Until now, no study has based itself on the semantics of the Hebrew lexeme nābîʾ (“prophet”). This investigation by William L. Kelly discusses the nature and function of prophecy in the corpus of the Hebrew book of Jeremiah. It analyses all occurrences of nābîʾ in Jeremiah and performs a close reading of three primary texts, Jeremiah 1.4–19, 23.9–40 and 27.1–28.17. The result is a detailed explanation of how prophecy works, and what it meant to call someone a nābîʾ in ancient Israel. Combining the results of the semantic analysis and close readings, the study reaches conclusions for six main areas of study: (1) the function and nature of prophecy; (2) dreams and visions; (3) being sent; (4) prophets, priests and cult; (5) salvation and doom; and (6) legitimacy and authority. These conclusions explain the conceptual categories related to nābîʾ in the corpus. I then situate these findings in two current debates, one on the definition of nābîʾ and one on cultic prophecy. This study contributes to critical scholarship on prophecy in the ancient world, on the book of Jeremiah, and on prophets in ancient Israel. It is the first major study to analyse nābîʾ based on its semantic associations. It adds to a growing consensus which understands prophecy as a form of divination. Contrary to some trends in Jeremiah scholarship, this work demonstrates the importance of a close reading of the Masoretic (Hebrew) text. This study uses a method of a general nature which can be applied to other texts. Thus there are significant implications for further research on prophecy and prophetic literature.
