  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Hanne Trautner-Kromann n this introduction I want to give the necessary background information for understanding the nine articles in this volume. II start with some comments on the Hebrew or Jewish Bible and the literature of the rabbis, based on the Bible, and then present the articles and the background information for these articles. In Jewish tradition the Bible consists of three main parts: 1. Torah – Teaching: The Five Books of Moses: Genesis (Bereshit in Hebrew), Exodus (Shemot), Leviticus (Vajikra), Numbers (Bemidbar), Deuteronomy (Devarim); 2. Nevi’im – Prophets: (The Former Prophets:) Joshua, Judges, Samuel I–II, Kings I–II; (The Latter Prophets:) Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezek- iel; (The Twelve Small Prophets:) Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephania, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi; 3. Khetuvim – Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, The Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles I–II1. The Hebrew Bible is often called Tanakh after these three main parts: Torah, Nevi’im and Khetuvim. The Hebrew Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted by rab- bis and scholars up through the ages – and still is2. Already in the Bible itself there are examples of interpretation (midrash). The books of Chronicles, for example, can be seen as a kind of midrash on the 10 | From Bible to Midrash books of Samuel and Kings, repeating but also changing many tradi- tions found in these books. In talmudic times,3 dating from the 1st to the 6th century C.E.(Common Era), the rabbis developed and refined the systems of interpretation which can be found in their literature, often referred to as The Writings of the Sages.

Published in STUDIES IN JEWISH CIVILIZATION, VOLUME 14: WOMEN AND JUDAISM, ed. Leonard J. Greenspoon, Ronald A. Simkins, & Jean Axelrad Cahan (Omaha: Creighton University Press, 2003), pp. 33-44. Traditions about Miriam in the Qumran Scrolls Sidnie White Crawford The literature of Second Temple Judaism (late sixth century BCE to 70 CE) contains many compositions that focus on characters and events known from the biblical texts. The characters or events in these new compositions are developed in various ways: filling in gaps in the biblical account, offering explanations for difficult passages, or simply adding details to the lives of biblical personages to make them fuller and more interesting characters. For example, the work known as Joseph andAseneth focuses on the biblical character Aseneth, the Egyptian wife of Joseph, mentioned only briefly in Gen 41:45, 50.' This work attempts to explain, among other things, how Joseph, the righteous son of Jacob, contracted an exogamous marriage with the daughter of an Egyptian priest.

Preface This volume presents a selection of my essays on the study of the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible and related apocalyptic and proto-apocalyptic texts. As the title of the volume indicates, they reflect fundamental concerns with the continued development of form- and literary-critical exegetical methodol- ogy as well as the burgeoning interest in intertextuality in biblical scholarship. Many of these essays have been published elsewhere over the course of some seventeen years, but a number of the essays in this volume appear in print for the first time.

The Joseph Smith Papyri is an initiatory text; the Rule of the Community is both an initiatory text, enumerating details for entrance into the Essene community at Qumran, and a covenant document, listing elements in the covenant made between God and individuals enter- ing the Essene community at Qumran. This piece is an excerpt from the appendix of his text mentioned above and outlines the various aspects of this Rule of the Community as found in the Dead Sea Scrolls (1QS).

  • Scripture in History, Literature, Thought, and Culture
    Scripture in History, Literature, Thought, and Culture (A Comparative Exam in the Committee on Historical Studies) General description: The exam is designed to test competence in the study of the reception of scripture in history, literature, thought, and culture. Students taking this exam will be required to show mastery of traditional areas in reception history, such as the history of exegesis and hermeneutical theories. They will also be asked to branch out into less traditional areas of enquiry, such as the history of the book; historiography; thematic studies of biblical texts, ideas, or motifs across time or religious culture; scripture in society, politics, ethics, popular culture, material culture (e.g., art and architecture), mass media, etc. General requirements: To foster a broad and innovative approach to scripture and scriptural traditions, the examination requires preparation on two levels (general and specific), with three supporting bibliographies. In Part I, each student must read and master a set corpus of general studies which have been chosen to exemplify the diversity of possible approaches to scripture in history, literature, thought, and culture. Part II requires each student to specialize in at least two areas from a comparative perspective (broadly defined). The comparison can be construed across time, across religion or culture, or across discipline (examples are given below). Part III requires the development of a list of primary sources to support Part II. Students will develop the specializations and reading lists in Parts II-III together with a committee of two faculty members (including at least one of the core faculty listed below). They are also encouraged to participate in the biannual colloquium on Scripture in History, Literature, Thought, and Culture, to be taught by the core faculty.

Heschel’s Torah Min Ha-Shamayyim BeAspaqlaria Shel Ha-Doroth (TMS) never received the comprehensive scholarly attention that it deserves. Its philosophical and theological emphasis was out of place in the oeuvre in which it was published. Decades later it resurged in popularity, but by and large not amongst those with the textual and philological grounding in rabbinics to assess it meaningfully. TMS stands as a compelling analysis of early-rabbinic theological trends and the historical ramifications therein.

  • Pardes (Jewish Exegesis)
    PaRDeS (Jewish exegesis) Pardes refers to (types of) approaches to biblical exegesis in rabbinic Judaism (or - simpler - interpretation of text in Torah study). The term, sometimes also spelled PaRDeS, is an acronym formed from the name initials of the following four approaches: .plain" ("simple") or the direct meaning" — (פְּשָׁ ט) Peshat • hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or" — (רֶ מֶ ז) Remez symbolic) meaning beyond just the literal sense. — ("from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek — (דְּרַ ש) Derash • the comparative (midrashic) meaning, as given through similar occurrences. "pronounced with a long O as in 'bone') — "secret) (סֹוד) Sod • ("mystery") or the esoteric/mystical meaning, as given through inspiration or revelation. Tanakh ;[pronounced [taˈnaχ] or [təˈnax ,תַּ נַּ"ְך :The Tanakh (Hebrew also Tenakh, Tenak, Tanach) is the canon of the Hebrew Bible. The name Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional subdivisions: Torah ("Teaching", also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings")—hence meaning "that which is ,(מקרא) "TaNaKh. The name "Miqra read", is another Hebrew word for the Tanakh.

It has a range of meanings: it can most specifically mean the first five books of the Tanakh, it can mean this plus the rabbinic commentaries on it, it can mean the continued narrative from Genesis to the end of the Tanakh, it can even mean the totality of Jewish teaching and practice.[1] Common to all these meanings, Torah consists of the foundational narrative of the Jewish people: their call into being by God, their trials and tribulations, and their covenant with their God, which involves following a way of life embodied in a set of religious obligations and civil laws (halakha).
