THE THFIIE OF "BLESSING FOR THE NATIONS" IN THE PATRIARCHAL NARRATIVES OF GENESIS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biblical Studies University of Sheffield Riang Chea CHEW October, 1982 x ACKNOWLEDGE1ETS To be able to complete the present study is in itself a reflection of the assistance I received. It is therefore with great pleasure I express my appreciation to Mr. David Clines, my supervisor and Reader of the Biblical Studies Department, for his perceptive guidance throughout the period of my research. His kind friendship, understanding, and sacrifice of time, all contributed greatly to the completion of this thesis. In additions I would also like to express my thanks to Drs. Philip Davies and David Gunn, both also of the Biblical Studies Department.. Dr. Davies supervised me and Dr. &unn kindly gave of his time to discuss part of my work, during Mr. CIines' sabbatical leave in 1980/81. A special word of thanks also goes to Mr. Ken Rawlins of Sheffield whom I burdened with the unenviable task of correcting my English. I, of course, remain responsible for all the unidiomatic use of English still present in the study. Without the financial support of the Langham Trust, the present course of studies waulci not have been started and completed. In this, the personal encouragement of the Rev. Dr. John Stott is especially acknowledged. In addition, a number of organisations and friends have also contributed to the cost of maintenance for my family over the past three years. Of these, special thanks go to the consistent support given by the Lee Foundation, Singapore, and the church of which I am a member, both in Singapore and in Sheffield. A final word of gratitude has to be reserved for my wife, who has given unreservingly her support and companionship, especially over the past three years. 11 SYNOPSIS 1. The universalistic promise expressed by a formula with the theme "Blessing for the Nations" in the Old Testament is primarily found in the patriarchal narratives (Gen.l2-35). This aspect of the patriarchal narratives however has not been adequately studied. Previous discussions of the theme, based primarily on 12:1-3, and conducted within the framework of the Yahwist"s work, are shown to be inadequate in our survey in shedding light on the positioning and significance of the theme in the overall patriarchal narratives. The survey indicates a literary analysis of these narratives could probably yield more positive results. 2. A. formulaic analysis shows that the niphal form ( '21) is used at the beginning of a patrjarchs career to express a probationary, and the hitbpael form ( )72JT) to express a reaffirmatory, relationship of the patriarch to the promised universal destiny. Strikingly, the 'seed' plays a prominent role in the destiny. The formula also serves to link the patriarchs' calling to the primeval history and the history of the early formative period of the Israelite people. 3. The Abraham story (Gen.12-.22) is encased by the theme. A double-chiastic arrangement of the narratives (i two groups) shows a movement of horizon from the particularistic to the universalistic. The universal horizon of Abraham's initial call (12:1-3), displaced in the first half of the structure, is reaffirmed in the latter half. Gen.l6 stands out as the nadir and turning-point of the overall story. The notices of Isaac's birth are instructively "positioned' in the universalistic sector of the double-chiasmus. Moreover, the formula is pronounced in narratives which portray Abraham as reversing the negative results of the key events un the primeval history. 4. The rsaac narrative (Gen.26) is shown to be "demonstration- material" of the initial actualisation of the theme. The narrative is coherently structured around an emphatic divine command, a unique twin-promise, and Isaac's response in a series of movements, climaxing in Abimelech's sudden visit to and significant confession of Isaac's status. Gen.26 is also shown to be a "quintessence" of the Abraham story and forms a critique of and model for Jacob's understanding and actualisa- tion of his destiny. 5. The theme is shown to underline the Jacob story (Gen.25-35), especially in the Jacob-.Esau cycles. Jacob's character trans- formation and reconciliation with Esau are necessary pre-requisites before the reaffirmation' of the universal destiny to him at Bethel. Significantly, the creation mandate is re-issued to Jacob-Israel the seed of Abraham and Isaac, when a. formula pronouncement is expected.. Finally, Jacob-Israel is shown to form a parallel with Abraham whose call also expresses Yahwehts re-affirmation of his creational intentions for mankind. 111 ABBREVIATIONS AB The Anchor Bible AnBi bi Analecta Bjbljca ATh.JLNT Abhandlungen zur Theologie des Alten unü Neuen Testaments BA Biblical Archaeologist BASOR Bulletin of the American Schools for Oriental Research BBB Bonner Biblische Beitrge BDB Brown, F., Driver, S.L, Briggs, C.A.

  • Patriarchal Blessings Lesson 19
    Patriarchal Blessings Lesson 19 Purpose To teach class members basic principles about preparing for and receiving a patriarchal blessing. Preparation 1. Prayerfully study 1 Nephi 16:10, 16, 28–29; 18:11–12, 20–21. 2. Make five cards, each containing one of the following words: WHAT, WHO, WHY, WHEN, HOW. On the back of each card, write the corresponding question or questions below: WHAT: What is a patriarchal blessing? WHO: Who can receive a patriarchal blessing? Who gives a patriarchal blessing? WHY: Why should a person seek a patriarchal blessing? WHEN: When can a person receive a patriarchal blessing? HOW: How can a person prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing? Stick these cards to the bottom of five chairs for class members to find during the lesson, or pass them out to five class members as they come into class. 3. Materials needed: a. The picture The Liahona (picture 7 in the picture section of the manual; 62041; Gospel Art Picture Kit 302). b. A set of scriptures and a scripture marking pencil for each class member. Continue to encourage class members to bring their own scriptures to class each week. Note to the teacher We are all children of God, and he desires to guide us so that we can return to him. One guide he makes available to us is a patriarchal blessing. A patriarchal blessing can help a person understand what the Lord expects of him or her and can motivate the person to live for the promised blessings. Help class members realize that each of them is promised a patriarchal blessing, and encourage them to live worthily so they can receive it when the time is right.

  • Nimrod and Esau As Parallel Figures
    215 In Search of Nimrod: Nimrod and Esau as Parallel Figures By: GEULA TWERSKY Introduction This study seeks to arrive at an understanding of the enigmatic character Nimrod, the mythical Assyrian conqueror and builder who plays a prom- inent role in the Genesis accounts of the development of evil after the flood. The methodology for arriving at such an understanding lies in an analysis of the parallel relationship between Nimrod and Esau, and by association, Assyria and Edom, the nation-states that they represent. The research presented here leads to an understanding of Esau/Edom as the literary successor of Nimrod and the Assyrian monarchy that he founded. Nimrod Most academic discussions concerning Nimrod focus on the improbable task of identifying him with an extra-biblical, known historical figure.1 S. 1 Cf. for example, Y. Levin, “Nimrod the Mighty, King of Kish, King of Sumer and Akkad,” VT 52.3 (2002): 350–64; Cf. also Nahum Sarna, Genesis, The JPS Torah Commentary, (ed. N. Sarna; Jerusalem: Jewish Publication Society, 1989), 73, who attempts to identify Nimrod with Naram-Sin; some have argued that Nimrod has his roots in a Mesopotamian deity. This was first suggested by J. Grivel, “Nemrod et les écritures cunéiformes,” Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology 3 (1874), p. 136–144, and revived by E. Lipinski, “Nimrod et Assur,” Revue Biblique 73.1 (1966), p. 77–93, who related Nimrod to Marduk in the Bab- ylonian creation myth Enuma elis, “when on high.” Van der Toorn and P.

  • The Book of Mormon and Patriarchal Blessings: Reflections by an Ordained Patriarch
    The Book of Mormon and Patriarchal Blessings: Reflections by an Ordained Patriarch richard dilworth rust Richard Dilworth Rust ([email protected]) is a professor emeritus of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. n my service as a stake patriarch before going on several missions with Imy wife and subsequently in giving patriarchal blessings to several of my grandchildren, I have learned how the Book of Mormon as a whole and in its parts can be likened in many ways to a patriarchal blessing. Likewise, a patriarchal blessing given by an ordained patriarch can be likened to the Book of Mormon. An increased understanding of the one can help us better under- stand and value the other. In looking at the Book of Mormon and patriarchal blessings together, one can see even more clearly God’s system of revelation and prophecy and its personal application. The Principle of “Likening Unto” Likening one thing unto another does not mean there is equivalence between the two. Rather, it is a method of highlighting certain aspects of one thing found in the other. In a revelation given to Joseph Smith, the Lord asked, “Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand?” Then he John Luke, © Intellectual Reserve, Inc. © Intellectual Reserve, John Luke, answered, “Behold, I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, and When a patriarchal blessing is given, the recipient first hears the blessing and can feel at the time a confirmation by the Holy Ghost. Subsequently, he or she can read and reread the blessing as a personal scripture.

  • Mormonism and the New Spirituality: LDS Women's Hybrid Spiritualities by Doe Daughtrey a Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulf
    Mormonism and the New Spirituality: LDS Women's Hybrid Spiritualities by Doe Daughtrey A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Linell Cady, Chair Colleen McDannell Tisa Wenger Tracy Fessenden ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation illuminates overlaps in Mormonism and the New Spirituality in North America, showing their shared history and epistemologies. As example of these connections, it introduces ethnographic data from women who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in order to show (a) how living LDS women adapt and integrate elements from the New Spirituality with Mormon ideas about the nature of reality into hybrid spiritualities; and (b) how they negotiate their blended religious identities both in relation to the current American New Spirituality milieu and the highly centralized, hierarchical, and patriarchal Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The study focuses on religious hybridity with an emphasis on gender and the negotiation of power deriving from patriarchal religious authority, highlighting the dance between institutional power structures and individual authority. It illuminates processes and discourses of religious adaptation and synthesis through which these LDS women creatively and provocatively challenge LDS Church formal power structures. i DEDICATION This project is dedicated to my family: my husband, David, who ongoingly chooses and supports me not just in spite of but in celebration of our differences; my children Tatiana, Astrid, Dominic, Natasha, and Mikhail, who are my heroes and my champions; my grandchildren, Cozette, Tristan, Donovan, Nathaniel, and Vivienne, who are so creative and open to new possibilities; my father Ray, to whom I owe my intellectual curiosity and pursuit of excellence in teaching, but who died before I could complete the project; and my mother Callie, who I now have the privilege of caring for.
