Elder Uriah Smith is a fascinating character in the history of American religious movements. Born to a Millerite family, his interest waned from religion after the great disappointment of 1844, turning to scientific pursuits, eventually patenting his own prosthetic leg with moveable ankle. Smith was converted by the preaching Ellen White in 1852 and became one of the founders of Battle Creek (later Andrews) College in , where he became the architect of Sevent-Day Adventism’s millenarian eschatology. His Thoughts on the Book of Daniel and the Revelation, first printed at James White’s new Oakland press in 1882, was the culmination of his teaching and became a seminal text in Adventism, held by Ellen White in the highest esteem. $1350 [U47466] 3 4 ARCHAEOLOGY & ANCIENT NEAR EAST Abusch, Tzvi, John Huehnergard and Piotr Steinkeller, Eds.. __Lingering Over Words: Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Literature in Honor of William L.

  • The Song of Songs: Translation and Notes

    The Song of Songs: Translation and Notes

    The Song of Songs: Translation and Notes Our translation of the Song of Songs attempts to adhere as closely as pos- sible to the Hebrew text. As such, we follow the lead set by Everett Fox, most prominently, in his approach to translation. In addition, we have attempted to utilize common English words to render common Hebrew words and rare English words to render rare Hebrew words (see notes h and ac, for example). We also follow Fox’s lead in our representation of proper names. Throughout this volume we have used standard English forms for proper names (Gilead, Lebanon, Solomon, etc.). In our translation, however, we have opted for a closer representation of the Hebrew (i.e., Masoretic) forms (Gilʿad, Levanon, Shelomo, etc.). We further believe that the Masoretic paragraphing should be indicated in an English translation, and thus we have done so in our presentation of the text. While we consider (with most scholars) the Aleppo Codex to be the most authoritative witness to the biblical text, in this case we are encumbered by the fact that only Song 1:1–3:11 is preserved in the extant part of the Aleppo Codex. Accordingly, we have elected to follow the paragraphing system of the Leningrad Codex. Setuma breaks are indicated by an extra blank line. The sole petuha break in the book, after 8:10, is indicated by two blank lines. The Aleppo Codex, as preserved, has petuha breaks after 1:4 and 1:8, whereas the Leningrad Codex has setuma breaks in these two places. As for the remain- ing part of the Song of Songs in the “Aleppo tradition,” we note a difference of opinions by the editors responsible for the two major publications of the Aleppo Codex at one place.

    A Crisis in Faith: an Exegesis of Psalm 73

    Restoration Quarterly 17.3 (1974) 162-184. Copyright © 1974 by Restoration Quarterly, cited with permission. A Crisis in Faith: An Exegesis of Psalm 73 TERRY L. SMITH Starkville, Mississippi Introduction Psalm 73 is a striking witness to the vitality of the individual life of faith in Israel. It represents the struggles through which the Old Testament faith had to pass. The psalm, a powerful testimony to a battle that is fought within one's soul, reminds one of the book of Job.1 Experiencing serious threat to his assurance of God in a desperate struggle with the Jewish doctrine of retribution, the poet of Psalm 73 raised the question, "How is Yahweh's help to and blessing of those who are loyal to him realized in face of the prosperity of the godless?"2 His consolation is the fact that God holds fast to the righteous one and "remains his God in every situation in life," and even death cannot remove the communion between them.3 He finds a "solution" not in a new or revised interpretation of the old retribution doctrine, but in a "more profound vision of that in which human life is truly grounded, and from which it derives its value."4 But Weiser argues, and rightly so, that what is at stake here is more than a mere theological or intellectual problem; it is a matter of life or death—the question of the survival of faith generally.5 The poem represents an 1.

Book Title The word psalms comes from the Greek word psalmoi. It suggests the idea of a “praise song,” as does the Hebrew word tehillim. It is related to a Hebrew concept which means “the plucking of strings.” It means a song to be sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The Psalms is a collection of worship songs sung to God by the people of Israel with musical accompaniment. The collection of these 150 psalms into one book served as the first hymnbook for God’s people, written and compiled to assist them in their worship of God. At first, because of the wide variety of these songs, this praise book was unnamed, but eventually the ancient Hebrews called it “The Book of Praises,” or simply “Praises.” This title reflects its main purpose──to assist believers in the proper worship of God.

  • The Psalms As Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A

    The Psalms As Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A

    4 The Psalms as Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A. Rendsburg From as far back as our sources allow, hymns were part of Near Eastern temple ritual, with their performers an essential component of the temple functionaries. 1 These sources include Sumerian, Akkadian, and Egyptian texts 2 from as early as the third millennium BCE. From the second millennium BCE, we gain further examples of hymns from the Hittite realm, even if most (if not all) of the poems are based on Mesopotamian precursors.3 Ugarit, our main source of information on ancient Canaan, has not yielded songs of this sort in 1. For the performers, see Richard Henshaw, Female and Male: The Cu/tic Personnel: The Bible and Rest ~(the Ancient Near East (Allison Park, PA: Pickwick, 1994) esp. ch. 2, "Singers, Musicians, and Dancers," 84-134. Note, however, that this volume does not treat the Egyptian cultic personnel. 2. As the reader can imagine, the literature is ~xtensive, and hence I offer here but a sampling of bibliographic items. For Sumerian hymns, which include compositions directed both to specific deities and to the temples themselves, see Thorkild Jacobsen, The Harps that Once ... : Sumerian Poetry in Translation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987), esp. 99-142, 375--444. Notwithstanding the much larger corpus of Akkadian literarure, hymn~ are less well represented; see the discussion in Alan Lenzi, ed., Reading Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: An Introduction, Ancient Near East Monographs (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011), 56-60, with the most important texts included in said volume. For Egyptian hymns, see Jan A%mann, Agyptische Hymnen und Gebete, Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis (Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1999); Andre Barucq and Frarn;:ois Daumas, Hymnes et prieres de /'Egypte ancienne, Litteratures anciennes du Proche-Orient (Paris: Cerf, 1980); and John L.

    Prophetic Oracles in the Cultic Life of Israel: A Study of Prophetic Psalms 50 and 81 TONG Sin-lung Supervisor: Prof. Archie C. C. Lee A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Divinity In Graduate Division of Religion and Theology The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2004 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate school. —一__ I WW-IBRARY SYSTEIVn^ Abstract Psalms 50 and 81 are called the psalms of Asaph, who is a cultic functionary who has composed the psalms used in the cultic life of Israel. Psalms 50 and 81 are also prophetic psalms in the Hebrew Psalter. From the detailed study on prophetic psalms 50 and 81,1 would argue that the cultic functionaries, i.e. the Levites in the temple, have one of their roles as a temple prophet in ancient Israel, proclaiming the divine oracles to the Israelite community. These prophetic oracles are significant in the Israelites' regular worship of God and also in their times of national crisis. The cultic functionaries not just preach the message of salvation，but also remind the people of God their apostasy and the commandments of God. Psalms of Asaph exhibit the characteristic themes of prophetic oracles in both the eighth and seventh centuries, namely the injustices and idolatry. Thus, psalms of Asaph might probably be used in the period after the destruction of Samaria and before the destruction of Jerusalem.

    2 Samuel & 1 Chronicles with Associated Psalms

    2 Samuel& 1 Chronicles w/Associated Psalms Chronicles Purpose : To direct the restoration of the kingdom during the post-exilic period. Outline : 1.1:1-1.9:44 – Genealogies of God’s People (From Adam to David to Zerubbabel) 1.10:1-2.9:31 – United Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) 2.10:1-2:28:26 – Divided Kingdom (Fall of Samaria and Jerusalem) 2.29:1-2.36:23 – Reunited Kingdom (Cyrus’ Edict) Author : Some suggest there was a single “chronicler” for Chronicles and for Ezra-Nehemiah (perhaps Ezra himself). There are definite similarities, but also distinctions. Date : United Monarchy – 1050…Divided Monarchy – 922…Fall of Samaria – 722…Fall of Jerusalem – 586…Cyrus Edict – 538…Date of Composition, maybe 500-400 BC Chronicles Highlights : The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is “The Words (or Events) of the Days”. The title of this book in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament, written in 70 AD) is “The Things Omitted” (things passed over by Samuel and Kings). The English title of “Chronicles” is a shortened form of Jerome’s suggestion in calling it “A Chronicle of the whole divine history.” Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles are the “Synoptic History” meaning that they share the same, or similar, accounts for some of this history. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the “Synoptic Gospels” in sharing the same, or similar, accounts of Jesus. Synoptic means “seeing (optic) together (syn)” and provides a summary, or synopsis. There are times when the wording is exactly the same as the Chronicler simply copied from Samuel, or Kings.

    Judging God: Learning from the Jewish Tradition of Protest Against God
