Abstract

Zephaniah's Oracles against the Nations deals with exegetical methods as well as their application to the text. The first part of the book examines the Hebrew text from the viewpoint of synchrony, employing insights from modern linguistic and literary theory. Such important concepts as text-grammar, textual hierarchy, communicational and actantial analysis on the one hand, and prosodic hierarchy and Hebrew versification on the other, emerge from this discussion. The second part of the book discusses diachronical matters such as the redactional process, its theological and pastoral significance, and the hermeneutical implications of such diachronical study. Of special interest are the additional sections on the issues of the so-called woe-cry and oracles against the nations in the Old Testament. This timely study is particularly useful for those interested in the linguistic analysis and literary interpretation of the Hebrew Bible.

Abstract

With keen insight and lucid analysis, Adele Berlin brings the dramatic words of the great prophet Zaphaniah to life. Living under the tumultuous reign of King Josiah of Judah (640-609 BCE), Zephaniah predicted the final day of judgment when God would come to the fate of Israel and other nations. The book of Zephaniah is composed as a charged dialogue between God and the prophet. As their conversation unfolds, we learn of the doomed destiny which are indifferent to the Lord's power and of humans who have become too enthralled worldly riches. As piercing as any modern day social critic, Zephaniah proclaims salvation only for those who lead a life of simplicity, faith, and humility. The new translation by Adele Berlin, a literary as well as biblical scholar, celebrates the vivid and powerful language of this ancient poet. In staccato exclamations, elevated rhetoric, and a rich tapestry of metaphors and similes, Zephaniah paints a world beset by corruption, idolatry, and war. Berlin's contemporary commentary illuminates not only the beauty of Zephaniah's poetry, but also the political meaning behind his anguished verse For the biblical scholar, Berlin draws vital between Zephaniah's references and the rest of the Hebrew Bible. For general readers, Berlin's accessible Zephaniah is an invitation to explore the political and socially turbulent times of this ancient prophet's world

Abstract

This seminal and comprehensive study of Targum Jonathan to Zephaniah focuses on two major facets of exegesis: The twenty-one manuscripts from five different provenances, reflecting a variety of textual traditions and scribal erudition, thus revealing distinct stemmas; and the history of transmission of Targum Jonathan. Divergences from the literality of the MT unveil the emotions – fear, dismay, and hope – and the prayers of the meturgeman, as he reacts to historical events in the near past and in his own time.
