Contained in this volume are the Proceedings of the Midrash session of the SBL's annual conferences in 2008 and 2009. Chairs Rivka Ulmer and Lieve Teugels are the editors of this and the three previous Proceedings volumes published in this series. This fourth volume contains eight essays by leading scholars in Rabbinics, dealing with various aspects of rabbinic interpretational activity. Rachel Adelman investigates the origin of God’s footstool in rabbinic sources, based on the verse describing the theophany at the ratification of the Sinai covenant (Exod 24:10). Isaac Kalimi investigates how the Rabbis tried to reconcile the intermarriages mentioned in genealogical lists in Chronicles with the opposition against intermarriage stated in Ezra-Nehemiah. Simon Lasair studies two passages from Song Rabbah using a methodology based on an intersection of literary and political theory. Erica L. Martin focuses upon the rabbinic exegesis of the elliptical episode of Noah’s drunkenness in Gen. 9:20-25. David Nelson asserts that the text of the Mek. RaShBY is best understood as a written embodiment of the diverse pedagogical and transmissional culture within which it functioned. Jesse Rainbow states that in its emphasis on the motif of Ishmael as hunter, Genesis Rabbah 53:11 is informed by a larger typology of the rejected first-born son in Genesis. Ishay Rosen-Zvi claims that Babylonian rabbinic sources not only show a more positive attitude toward sexuality than Palestinian sources, but multiply and increase sexuality itself. Nehemia Polen investigates the practice of derashah in the tannaitic period which was a mode of communication with God rather than the application of hermeneutic rules.

In The Origins of Midrash: From Teaching to Text of Midrash, Paul Mandel presents a comprehensive study of the words darash and midrash from the Bible until the early rabbinic periods (3rd century CE). In contrast to current understandings in which the words are identified with modes of analysis of the biblical text, Mandel claims that they refer to instruction in law and not to an interpretation of text. Mandel traces the use of these words as they are associated with the scribe (sofer), the doresh ha-torah in the Dead Sea scrolls, the exegetes of the laws in the writings of Josephus and the rabbinic sage (akham), showing the development of the uses of midrash as a form of instruction throughout these periods.

Le présent ouvrage porte sur le Midrash Hallel, un recueil rabbinique peu connu qui commente de manière presque exhaustive les Psaumes qui composent une prière fondamentale, celle du Hallel (Ps 113-118). Il tient compte du seul manuscrit existant de ce Midrash (Munich 222) et de ses trois éditions imprimées (celle d'A. Jellinek en 1873, celle de J.D. Eisenstein en 1915 et la version anonyme des presses de Traklin, publiée à Varsovie en 1924), pour en donner une première traduction. Il tente d'éclairer la relation qu'il entretient avec le reste de la littérature rabbinique classique, tout particulièrement avec le Midrash Tehillim. Il s'interroge enfin sur son caractère éventuellement mystique. Même s'il est un recueil mineur, le Midrash Hallel ne peut qu'intéresser ceux qui cherchent à mieux connaître les canaux par lesquels certaines traditions, notamment mystiques, ont transité entre l'époque antique et celle du Moyen Âge.

The contributions compiled in this volume comprise studies of Jewish texts - biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern -, as well as of patristic and medieval Christian texts, and in one case, a passage of the Muslim text par excellence, the Quran. The authors, scholars in the fields of Jewish Studies, Catholic and Protestant Theology, Islamic Studies, German philology etc., invited to reflect on texts of their respective disciplines in context-sensitive interpretations, taking into account the link connecting Midrash, hermeneutics, and narrative, provide illuminating narratological and/or herm
