Structure and Meaning in Lamentations Homer Heater, Jr. Professor of Bible Exposition Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas Lamentations is perhaps the best example in the Bible of a com­ bination of divine inspiration and human artistic ability. The depth of pathos as the writer probed the suffering of Zion and his own suf­ fering is unprecedented. Each chapter is an entity in itself, a com­ plete poem.1 The most obvious literary device utilized by the poet is the acrostic; that is, poems are built around the letters of the alpha­ bet.

  • A Midrash on Rotulus from Damira, Its Materiality, Scribe, and Date
    29 2 Reading in the Provinces: A Midrash on Rotulus from Damira, Its Materiality, Scribe, and Date JUDITH OLSZOWY-SCHLANGER ÉCOLE PRATIQUE DES HAUTES ÉTUDES, SORBONNE, PARIS 30 Judith Olszowy-Schlanger Reading in the Provinces: A Midrash on Rotulus from Damira, Its Materiality, Scribe, and Date 31 ‘A battlefield of books’: this is how Solomon Schechter described the mass of tangled and damaged manuscript debris when he entered the Genizah chamber of the Ben Ezra synagogue in Fustat (Old Cairo) in 1896 (fig. 2.1). This windowless room, together with similar caches in other synagogues and in the cemetery Basatin in Cairo, yielded over 350,000 fragments of manuscripts, kept today in more than seventy collections worldwide.1 Most of the fragments date from the Fatimid and Ayyubid periods: more than ninety-five percent come from books while the rest are fragments of legal documents, letters, and other pragmatic writings. They were preserved thanks to the long-standing Jewish tradition of disposing of old writings with particular respect, founded on the belief that Hebrew texts containing the name of God are sacred: rather than being destroyed or thrown away, worn out books and documents—both holy and trivial—were instead placed in dedicated space, a Genizah, to decay naturally without human intervention. This massive necropolis of discarded writings offers us unprecedented knowledge of Jewish life in Fig. 2.1 medieval Egypt in general and of Jewish book history in particular. Thousands of fragments are Solomon Schechter witnesses to the centrality of Hebrew books in liturgy, in professional activities, and in private at work in the Old University Library, life, as well as offering a mine of information about how these books were made and read: their Cambridge.

  • The Hebrew Language and Way of Thinking (PDF)
    The Hebrew Language and Way of Thinking Dr. George W. Benthien January 2013 E-mail: [email protected] As you all know, the Bible was not originally written in English. The Old Testament was written several thousand years ago to a people (the Hebrews) whose language and culture were very different from our own. The New Testament was written in Greek, but most of its authors were raised as Hebrews. The Hebrew way of thinking about the world around them was very different from the way we think. If we want to understand the Biblical text as the original hearers understood it, then we need a better understanding of the Hebrew language and way of thinking. Development of the Hebrew Alphabet Below are the 22 letters of the Modern Hebrew alphabet (written from right to left). k y f j z w h d g B a kaph yod tet chet zayin vav hey dalet gimmel bet aleph t v r q x p u s n m l tav shin resh qof tsade pey ayin samech nun mem lamed However, this was not the alphabet in use in ancient times. The present day Samaritans (there are about 756 in the world today) use Torah scrolls that are written in a very different script. Recall that the Samaritans were the descendants of the Northern Tribes of Israel that were not sent into Assyrian captivity. The alphabet employed by the Samaritans (called Paleo or Old Hebrew) is shown below = kaph yod tet chet zayin vav hey dalet gimmel bet aleph O tav shin resh qof tsade pey ayin samech nun mem lamed Archeologists have found coins dating from before the Babylonian captivity that use this same script.

  • New Hebrew Text of Ben Sira Chapter 1 in Ms a (Ts 12.863)
    NEW HEBREW TEXT OF BEN SIRA CHAPTER 1 IN MS A (T-S 12.863) (1) Summary The article proposes a reading of some of the offset letters in Hebrew Ms A, that is, the letters that have transferred from the preceding and still missing first folio page of the manuscript. Among other things, the article proposes that the offset letters in Ms A I recto, lines 1-4 are the remnants of Ben Sira chapter 1, the Hebrew text of which is not otherwise known. Surpris- ingly, the Hebrew text matches closely the Syriac translation at the end of chapter 1 and not the Greek. The Syriac translation contains what are consid- ered to be secondary, later additions. It is this additional material that is reflected in the offset Hebrew letters of Ms A I recto, lines 1-4. 1. Introduction N the Hebrew Ben Sira manuscript commonly titled Ms A, one finds traces of reversed Hebrew letters, letters which are the mirror Iimage of how we expect them. These traces of letters are found above, beneath, and overlapping with the letters that are correctly ori- ented. The traces of reversed letters are the result of two separate phenomena: 1) ink bleeding through the paper from the opposite side of the same manuscript sheet and 2) ink being transferred from the opposite, facing page of the manuscript, what is called “offset” (i.e., ink is transferred from the verso of one page to the recto of the next page and vice versa). (2) Although both phenomena result in letter (1) I wish to thank my many colleagues who offered observations and sugges- tions.

  • Its Origin and Some Usages of It in the Old Testament 1)
    KELEBH 'DOG': ITS ORIGIN AND SOME USAGES OF IT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT 1) by D. WINTON THOMAS Cambridge - This paper, as its title indicates, consists of two parts. In the first - the shorter part I shall consider the origin of the Hebrew word 'dog', and I shall indicate where I believe its most likely origin is to be found. And in the second part of the paper I shall discuss some usages of ?55 in the Old Testament which are, I think, of con- siderable interest when they are studied in the light of available comparative material. To begin with, two preliminary remarks about the word First, it occurs also in Akkadian, Phoenician, Ugaritic, Arabic, Aramaic and Syriac, and Ethiopic 2). It is thus gemein.remiti.rch, very probably iir.remiti.rcb 3). And secondly, classical Hebrew has no femin- ine form though Akkadian, Ugaritic, Arabic, Aramaic and Syriac, and post-biblical Hebrew possess it 4), and Egyptian has the word kmn-t, which is said to be the equivalent of klb-t 5). The absence of the feminine form from the vocabulary of ancient Hebrew is doubtless purely accidental, unless we care to think that, in the case of as in the case of some other names of animals, like bgj 411 the two genders were expressed by the same word in the masculine form 1). According to CHEYNE 2) and BROWN-DRIVER-BRIGGS 3), the origin of the word is unknown. Attempts have to be sure been made from time to time to explain its origin. I may mention first the French Protestant pastor Samuel BOCHART (1599-1667), who, in his Hiero- zoicon 4), devotes several columns to the word Some, he says, without specifying who, explain the word as meaning quasi cor (i.e.

  • Revised Proposal to Encode the Sogdian Script in Unicode
    L2/16-371 2016-10-20 Revised proposal to encode the Sogdian script in Unicode Anshuman Pandey [email protected] October 20, 2016 1 Introduction This is a proposal to encode the Sogdian script in Unicode. It replaces the following document: • L2/16-158 “Proposal to encode Sogdian in Unicode” It incorporates comments regarding previous proposals made in: • L2/16-216 “Recommendations to UTC #148 August 2016 on Script Proposals” Previous versions of this proposal have been reviewed by Nicholas Sims-Williams and Yutaka Yoshida, who are leading scholars of Sogdian studies. 2 Background The proposed Unicode encoding for ‘Sogdian’ encompasses a group of related script styles used for repre- senting Sogdian (ISO 639: sog), an ancient Eastern Iranian language. The Sogdian script is derived from ‘Old Sogdian’ (see L2/16-312). There are two major styles of Sogdian: formal and cursive. These devel- oped separately from Old Sogdian, with the cursive style likely emerging first. It is difficult to specify a clear division between the ‘formal’ and ‘cursive’ styles. It is appropriate to consider the Sogdian varieties as belonging to a continuum, with the most formal styles and the simplified, ambiguous cursive styles as the two terminals. Manuscript folios written in the various styles are shown in figures 21–30. The styles possess the same character repertoire and structural features: • Repertoire Of the 20 letters of the Old Sogdian alphabet, 19 were retained in Sogdian (see com- parison in table 1). The letter daleth is no longer represented. Additional letters were introduced, such as feth and lesh (‘hooked resh’).

  • Intro to the Zohar with Rabbi Roller Session 3: an Alphabet of Creation
    Intro to the Zohar with Rabbi Roller Session 3: An Alphabet of Creation Zohar 1:2b-3b Rabbi Hamnuna-Saba said: “We find the letters backwards: In the first four words of the Torah, Beresheet Barah EloGod Et, the first two words begin with the letter Bet, and the following two begin with Aleph". It is said that, “When the Creator thought to create the world, all of the letters were still concealed, and even 2,000 years before the creation of the world, the Creator gazed into the letters and played with them. When the Creator thought to create the world, all the letters of the alphabet came to God in reverse order from last to first. The letter Tav entered first and said, “Master of the world! It is good, and also seemly of You, to create the world with me, with my properties. For I am the seal on Your ring, called Truth, that ends with the letter Tav. And that is why You are called Truth, and why it would befit the King to begin the universe with the letter Tav, and to create the world by her, by her properties. The Creator answered: "You are beautiful and sincere, but do not merit the world that I conceived to be created by your properties. You are destined to serve as a mark on the foreheads of the faithful, who have kept the Law of the Torah from Aleph to Tav. When you appear, they shall die. Not only that, but you are also the seal of the word Death, and because of this, you are not suitable for Me to create the world with you." The letter Tav then immediately left.

  • Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
    Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 11 The eleventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called "Kaph" and has the sound of "k" as in "kite." It has the numeric value of 20. The sole difference between the letter Kaph and the letter Kaph is the presence or absence of the dot in the middle of the letter (called a dagesh mark). When you see the dot in the middle of this letter, pronounce it as a "k"; otherwise, pronounce it as "kh."In modern Hebrew, the Kaph appears in three forms: Write the manual print version (or "block" version) of Kaph as follows: Writing the Letter: Kaph A single stroke, like a backwards "c" is used to form this letter. Practice making the Kaph here: Five Hebrew letters are formed differently when they appear as the last letter of a word (these forms are sometimes called "sofit" (pronounced "so-feet") forms). The five letters sound the same as their non-sofit cousins, so you do not have to learn any new sounds (or transliterations); however, you will need to be able to recognize these letters. Note that Kaph Sofit resembles a Dalet except that the second stroke descends well below the baseline of the text. Mysteries of the Kaph The two letters of the word “Kaph” are the initial letters of the two Hebrew words: koach (“potential”) and poel (“actual”), suggesting that Kaph enables the spiritual (the potential) to be made actual in the physical: Kaph Study Page 1 Spiritual Meaning of the Kaph Kaph = 20 and means “COVER” of Yahweh or “COVERING” of Yah.
