  • The Camel in Sumerian, the Bactrian Camel in Genesis?
    Bible Lands e-Review 2014/S3 ‘Sweeter Than Camel’s Milk’: The Camel in Sumerian, The Bactrian Camel in Genesis? Wayne Horowitz, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem Introduction Much discussion in scholarly literature, and more recently of a popular nature on the internet, has focused on the issue of camel ownership by members of the Patriarchal family in the Book of Genesis. The context of this discussion is the chronological dating of the Genesis narrative where a number of passages depict the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Israel as camel owners and riders. For example, Genesis 24:64 places Rebecca on camel back when she first catches sight of her husband to be Isaac, while in the next generation in Genesis 31:34, Rachel sits on a camel on her own journey to Canaan with her husband Jacob. The chronological implications of such passages for the dating of the Patriarchal Narratives are obvious. Such passages assure that the Patriarch Narratives in their current form cannot be earlier than the date of full camel domestication in the Ancient Near East, when camels came to be used as a means of transport. Consensus continues to place this date no earlier than the late second millennium BCE, the end of the Late Bronze Age, making this a terminus post quem for the Patriarchal Narratives themselves. However, there is some sporadic archaeological and art historical evidence which would allow for a Middle Bronze Age date for domestication of the camel, and so an earlier date for the historical background of the stories of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of Israel.1 The short discussion below will suggest an alternative way of looking at this problem, based on textual evidence to be found in Sumerian.

Prof. of Near Eastern Art and Archaeology) Meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 11:00-11:50 am (the so-called D-hour) Ömür's Office: Joukowsky Instutute (70 Waterman St.) Room 202 E-mail: [email protected] Office tel: 401-863-6411 Office Hours: Tuesday 10-12 am. (By appointment) C O U R S E D E S C R I P T I O N Cities are layered topographies of cultural histories, enchanted places of our social lives, messy landscapes of our everyday performances. Ancient cities were no less complex spaces in their liveliness. What did ancient cities look like and how were they shaped, in architectural form and in the imagination of its citizens? How do social events, festivals, cult practices, public spectacles shape the layout of a city? In the light of contemporary theories of urban space drawn from geography, architecture, cultural studies and anthropology, we will explore what makes a city a city in the first place, and attempt to make sense of the patchy and fragmentary archaeological evidence from the ancient Near East in understanding, reconstructing cities. The course will pay particular attention to issues of social dramas, spectacles and performances in the urban sphere, of urbanization, formation of urban space, and architectural projects in relation to cult practices and commemorative ceremonies in the Ancient Near East.

  • 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. W. van der Horst, Harvard Theological Review 83.1 (1990), p.

  • “Ur of the Chaldeans” (Gen 11:28-31): a Model for Dealing with Difficult Texts
    TMSJ 20/1 (Spring 2009) 7-18 “UR OF THE CHALDEANS” (GEN 11:28-31): A MODEL FOR DEALING WITH DIFFICULT TEXTS William D. Barrick, Th.D. Professor of Old Testament Scholars are still puzzled over the appearance of “Ur of the Chaldeans” in Gen 11:28 and 31. Proposed solutions to the problem have either called it an anachronism or an example of post-Mosaic textual updating, or else they hold that Moses wrote the text just as it stands because he knew about the Chaldeans in his day. This article offers linguistic, genealogical, and historical evidence in supporting the last of these options. Linguistically, “Chaldeans” could be a later spelling of the term KaÑdîm in Gen 11:28, 31, according to this option. This solution is consistent with Moses’ knowing the Aramean origins of Abraham and his family as reflected in Gen 10:22; 31:47; and Deut 26:5, but such origins have been issues that have been open to debate. Genealogically, certain connections raise the possibility that the Chaldeans were relatives of Abraham. Historically, the problem is that extrabiblical references to the Chaldeans do not occur until the times of Ashurnasirpal II or III (883-859 B.C.). Yet such is a problem only if one subjugates the early biblical (i.e., Mosaic) references to later secular texts. Secular sources need not have greater authority than the Bible. Extrabiblical evidence itself has some hints that the Chaldeans’ rise to power may have preceded the time of Moses. Though it is impossible at this point to resolve the problem fully, the option supported by linguistic, genealogical, and historical evidence best accords with one’s adherence to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy.

Scopus Course/Module Coordinator: Prof Wayne Horowitz Coordinator Email: [email protected] Coordinator Office Hours: Sunday 11-12 Teaching Staff: Prof Wayne Horowitz page 1 / 6 Course/Module description: An introduction to the civilization of Ancient Israel in ancient times in its wider Ancient Near Eastern context. The course follows a chronological sequence from the Bronze Age in Canaan down to the fall of the Kingdom of Judah to Nebuchadnezzar II, King of Babylon, in 539 B.C., and beyond. In terms of the Bible, the periods covered will include the time of the Patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, the United Monarchy of Kings David and Solomon, the first temple period in the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel, and the beginnings of the Babylonian exile from the Town of Al- Yahudu (The City of Judea), a new Jerusalem of the Babylonian exile dating to the first generations of the Babylonian diaspora on display in the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. In addition to chronology and historiography, students will explore issues relating to anthropology, sociology, literature, and theology, thus extending the participants appreciation of the biblical text, and placing the biblical text in its own contemporary context. Assessment will be by examination. Students will have the option of writing a short paper in lieu of the final exam.

    1 Alternative Tourism Journal is an initiative of the Alternative Tourism Group-Study Center Palestine (ATG). It is a journal which offers an alternative narrative of the situation in Palestine and the way it impacts on tourism. ATG is a Palestinian NGO specializing in tours and pilgrimages that include a critical examination of the history, culture, and politics of the Holy Land. ATG operates on the tenets of “justice tourism” and seeks empowerment of the local community through affirmation of Palestinian cultural identity, and protection of eco-rights. Above all, ATG seeks to promote justice in the Holy Land with tourism as one of its instruments.

It is often said that tourism is an industry minus smoke. The facts-on-the-ground, especially in Palestine, are different. Virtually every aspect of Israeli tourism creates denial and/or discomfort in Palestine. In the case of Palestine, Israel’s tourism policy and practice involve erasing Palestine’s prime cultural assets; this attempt appears to obliterate Palestinian history, or, at least to minimize it, while secretly and illegally appropriating it to benefit Israel’s tourism industry.

  • Two Samaritan Amulets in the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem Daniel Vainstub Department of Bible, Archaeology and Ancient Near East Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
    Bible Lands e-Review 2019/S3 Two Samaritan Amulets in the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem Daniel Vainstub Department of Bible, Archaeology and Ancient Near East Ben-Gurion University of the Negev The two unprovenanced Samaritan amulets presented here were donated to the Bible Lands Museum in 2006, and belong to a small but growing group of finds: amulets made of bronze as finger rings or pendants by Samaritan engravers during the Late Roman and Byzantine periods.1 Hitherto, 22 amulets of this kind have been published (10 rings, 10 pendants, 1 plaque, and 1 bracelet).2 To these one should add other 37 (34 rings, 2 pendants, and 1 plaque) in the collection of the Israel Museum.3 This yields a corpus of about sixty amulets, most of them finger rings. These amulets provide a unique perspective on the Samaritan community in the Land of Israel during the Late Roman – Byzantine period, as Jews and Christians living in the country at the same times developed very different types of amulets. Since some of the amulets were found in clearly non-Samaritan archaeological contexts,4 it seems that also non- 1 I wish to thank the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem for their permission to publish the amulets, and especially to the curator Dr. Yigal Bloch for his kind help and to the conservator Elisheva Yardeni for her professional photographing of the amulets in the museum laboratory. 2 See an updated list of the hitherto found 22 ancient Samaritan amulets on rings and pendants with bibliographic references in Hamitovsky 2004, pp. 156‒158.
