  • Of Shekels and Shackles: a Wadi Sorek Romance ( Judges
    Of Shekels and Shackles: A Wadi Sorek Romance (Judges 16) Jack M. Sasson Abstract: This essay focuses on Samson in Delilah’s chamber (Judges 16). It explores the use of love charms in antiquity to clarify the bonds between the two major characters. It also offers an alterna- tive understanding for why Samson gave in to Delilah’s serial insistence that he reveals the secret of his strength. Keywords: Samson, Delilah, Judges 13–16 Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur (Publilius Syrus, first century BCE) o Norma Franklin, a good friend for a generation and a respected colleague for Ttwice as long, I offer frothy thoughts about Samson’s final moments as a free hu- man being. A first-rate archaeologist with scrupulous attachment to historical facts and realities, Norma is also a lover of good stories. On this occasion, therefore, I avoid com- menting on the origin(s), date(s), and permutations of traditions on which hard-core scholarship grooves.1 Rather, I will trust the Hebrew editor to have redacted a version that, however episodic, has proven its power to please through countless reformula- tions, in poetry, art, musical settings, and films. No one, Norma least of all, needs reminding of the essentials of the Samson stories that unfold from Judges 13 through 16. Having given up on raising a family, a childless couple from the tribe of Dan receives divine news that they are to have a son. Repeated threefold in the span of chapter 13 (at 3–5, 7, and 13–14), extraordinary instruction consistently assigns the wife (conspicuously unnamed) the burden of consecrating her body, perhaps for the duration of her pregnancy.

  • THE LIONS of JUDAH John Roskoski, Phd St. Peter's University, Omega
    THE LIONS OF JUDAH John Roskoski, PhD St. Peter’s University, Omega Bible Institute INTRODUCTION The image of the lion has captured the imagination of humankind since antiquity. It has often been the symbol of kings and deities. Many texts of the Bible reflect the regard in which this beast was held. Throughout the Bible Israel’s enemies were described using the images of the power, speed, and ferocity of the lion. The lion is a “symbol of might” in Scripture. 1 YHWH Himself is compared to a lion in His dealings with Israel and against the enemies of Israel. 2 The culmination of the Biblical traditions regarding the lion is found in Revelation 5:5, wherein Jesus Christ is named the “Lion of Judah”. This title, with its connotation of regal power, completes a specific Biblical writing tradition that has its roots in earliest Israel. Although the book of Revelation gives the passage an eschatological context, this work proposes that the title “Lion of Judah” joins, and completes, theological and literary traditions that originate in the Old Testament. Furthermore, these traditions seem to point to or have been influenced by the image of King David. Tribal Blessing 1 M. Tenney, ed, “Animals”, s.v. Lion”, New International Bible Dictionary (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1987), 58. 2 J.L. McKenzie, Dictionary of the Bible (Chicago: Bruce, 1966), 513. The first association of the image of the lion being connected with the Tribe of Judah occurs in Genesis 49: 8-12. It is a complex set of verses that speaks to the supremacy of the tribe of Judah.

Storia del metodo con un excursus storico dedicato ad alcune opere di Palestinologia dal IV al XX secolo. Introduzione Ad Abramo Dio disse: “Vattene dalla tua terra… verso la terra che io ti indicherò… Allora Abramo partì… lasciò Carran (Harran)… e si incamminò verso la terra di Canaan” (Gn 12,1-5). Terra di Canaan, terra della Promessa, terra di Giuda e di Israele, Palestina, Terra Santa. Su questa terra, quadro geografico dei libri biblici, si svilupperà il nostro discorso. Rileggeremo le pagine bibliche in prospettiva storico-geografica. Meglio conosceremo questa terra nella sua realtà fisica e storica attraverso tutte le epoche, più sicuro avremo l’ambiente materiale e culturale nel quale è nato e si è sviluppato il racconto biblico con il suo messaggio di salvezza. Il nostro corso comprende diversi campi di ricerca riguardanti le terre bibliche: la storia - e perciò necessariamente presuppone i risultati dell’esegesi storica sia dei testi biblici che dei testi extrabiblici-, la geografia storica e l’archeologia di quelle terre.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii New Men for a New World: Reconstituted Masculinities in Jewish-Russian Literature (1903 – 1925) by Ethan Calof B.A., Dalhousie University, 2013 SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk, Supervisor Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies Dr. Helga Thorson, Department Member Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies iii ABSTRACT This Master’s thesis explores Jewish masculinity and identity within early twentieth-century literature (1903-1925), using texts written by Jewish authors in late imperial Russia and the early Soviet Union. This was a period of change for Russia’s Jewish community, involving increased secularization and reform, massive pogroms such as in Kishinev in 1903, newfound leadership within the 1905 and 1917 Revolutions, and a rise in both Zionist and Revolutionary ideology. Subsequently, Jewish literary masculinity experienced a significant shift in characterization.
