Professor Douglas A. Knight has offered encouragement and advice every step of the way concerning the struggles of writing a dissertation. Professor Annalisa Azzoni's engagement of questions of gender and identity in antiquity have shaped my approach to the texts in question. Professor Ted A. Smith's knowledge of social theory and passion for biblical texts have helped me to nuance how I understand biblical texts in antiquity with the aid of theory. Professor Kathy L. Gaca's engagement of social issues such as justice with regard to ancient texts has also formed my understanding of the types of questions I bring to the biblical texts. I would also like to thank Professor Jack M. Sasson for his detailed response and his insight from a Jewish perspective, a necessity when a Christian attempts to make claims about Judaism in any era. Finally, Professor Herbert Marbury also provided helpful feedback from the perspective of a biblical scholar attempting to engage the ancient texts with social theory. I would also like to thank my master's degree professors whose encouragement and support assisted me in preparing for doctoral studies and whose own scholarship and teaching have formed me in ways that have influenced this project as well.

Esther had been raised by her cousin Mordecai, who made Esther swear that she would keep her Jewish identity a secret from her husband. However, when Ahasuerus appointed as his minister the anti-Semite Haman, who issued a decree to kill all Jews, Mordecai begged Esther to reveal her Jewish heritage to Ahasuerus and plead for the lives of her people. Esther agreed, saying to Mordecai: “I will go to the king, even though it is against the law.

  • A REWRITTEN BIBLICAL BOOK the So-Called Lucianic
    CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN THE ‘LUCIANIC’ TEXT OF THE CANONICAL AND APOCRYPHAL SECTIONS OF ESTHER: A REWRITTEN BIBLICAL BOOK The so-called Lucianic (L) text of Esther is contained in manuscripts 19 (Brooke-McLean: b’), 93 (e2), 108 (b), 319 (y), and part of 392 (see Hanhart, Esther, 15–16). In other biblical books the Lucianic text is joined by manuscripts 82, 127, 129. In Esther this group is traditionally called ‘Lucianic’ because in most other books it represents a ‘Lucianic’ text, even though the ‘Lucianic’ text of Esther and that of the other books have little in common in either vocabulary or translation technique.1 The same terminology is used here (the L text). Some scholars call this text A, as distinct from B which designates the LXX.2 Brooke-McLean3 and Hanhart, Esther print the LXX and L separately, just as Rahlfs, Septuaginta (1935) provided separate texts of A and B in Judges. Despite the separation between L and the LXX in these editions, the unique character of L in Esther was not sufficiently noted, possibly because Rahlfs, Septuaginta does not include any of its readings. Also HR 1 Scholars attempted in vain to detect the characteristic features of LXXLuc in Esther as well. For example, the Lucianic text is known for substituting words of the LXX with synonymous words, and a similar technique has been detected in Esther by Cook, “A Text,” 369–370. However, this criterion does not provide sufficient proof for labeling the L text of Esther ‘Lucianic,’ since the use of synonymous Greek words can be expected to occur in any two Greek translations of the same Hebrew text.

  • (Yahweh-Alone) Theology
    International Journal of Theology and Reformed Tradition Vol.8 DEUTERONOMISTIC REDACTION AND THE EMERGENCE OF YAHWEH-ALONE) THEOLOGY: AN EXEGETICAL) יהוה־אֶהָד STUDY Osom Festus Omosor Delta State University, Abraka Abstract A casual reader of the Old Testament readily comes to terms with the conventional theological view that there is only one and that the Israelites were originally a (יהוה־אֶהָד) God monotheistic people who were reprimanded for their Yahweh) with the exile as the)יהוה unfaithfulness to ultimate punishment. But from a critical point of view, there appears to be copious evidences to the contrary, namely, that the Israelites gradually metamorphosed from polytheism to monotheism. Studies have shown that most of the Old Testament writings previously assigned early dates of composition were actually composed or expanded much later. Scholars propose that the hands behind this editorial phenomenon were the Deuteronomistic editors who reviewed, reinterpreted and refocused the religious history of the Israelites. This paper examines some textual evidences of Israelite polytheism as well as monotheistic texts of the Old Testament with a view to showing the influence of the Deuteronomistic editors in creating the idea of exclusive monotheism as it appears in the Old Testament. The study employs historical and exegetico-hermeneutical methods. Its position is that the rhetoric of exclusive which denies other gods (יהוה־אֶהָד) monotheism worshipped by the Israelites was the editorial construct of Deuteronomistic writers which crystallized

  • A Bratislava Purim-Schpiel on Purim in the "Old Country," Jewish Boys and Girls Visited Relatives and Norman Adolf to Rece*Ve Puthn Goodies, Called Shalach Mones
    A bratislava purim-schpiel On Purim in the "old country," Jewish boys and girls visited relatives and Norman Adolf to rece*ve Puthn goodies, called shalach mones. Those youngsters who could entertain their hosts received a bonus, sometimes real money instead of only Hamantaschen. This minhag (custom) was observed in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia (formerly Pozsony or Pressburg, a city on the Danube between Vienna and Budapest, in the old Austro-Hungarian Empire). This city was famous in Jewish life for its seat of higher Jewish learning, the Pressburger Yeshivah, headed by the Sofer (Schreiber) hierarchy of rabbanim, commencing with "Chatam (Moshe) Sofer" followed by his son, "K'tav (Avraham Sh'muel Binjamin) Sofer" and by Shevet (Akiva) Sofer, whose Shiurim I attended up to July, 1920 at the "Shier-schtube" on the "Schlossberg". The Jewish community also had many amateur composers, singers, and poets. According to my uncles, my maternal grandfather, Reb Sh'mel Lieberman, who was a shechet (slaughterer) and baal t'filah (prayer leader) in a small (not even a shtetl, but a) doerfel, called Naceg (so small that it felt uplifted to be not far from the shtetl of Duna-Szerdahely), composed and wrote the lyrics of the following Purim-schpiel. The time of the composition is probably around 1905-10. Like the original Hatikvah, it speaks of "loshuv loeretz," "to return to the land," whereas now we no longer have to use the future tense when we speak of the "Return to Israel." (Ed. Note: The music for this purim-schpiel, transcribed from Norman Adolf's tape by Jon Hadden, is available, gratis, from Sh'ma.

  • That Sounds Familiar: Esther Esther 4 Katherine C. Kerr First Presbyterian Church – Charlotte August 9, 2015 This Summer's S
    That Sounds Familiar: Esther Esther 4 Katherine C. Kerr First Presbyterian Church – Charlotte August 9, 2015 This summer’s sermon series title, “That sounds familiar” probably rings true for many of the stories you have heard this summer, but I imagine that for a decent number of folks today, the story of Esther does not, in fact, sound familiar. Though it is a full book of the Old Testament, the story of Esther is not typically found on any top ten lists of well-known and oft-recited biblical stories. Set in 5th century Persia, this book is centered around a young Jewish woman named Esther, an orphan being raised by her uncle. The Jews were one of several minority groups in the Persian empire under the rule of King Ahasuerus (or Xerxes). When the book opens, the king is throwing a huge party for the ministers and army. For 180 days, we read, he “displayed the great wealth of his kingdom and the splendor and pomp of his majesty.” (1:4). Following that, he gave a week- long banquet for the people of the capital city. Well, he gave a banquet for the men, and had his wife, Queen Vashti, give a banquet for the women. The men’s banquet was a debaucherous affair, full of revelry and wine. At the end of the banquet, the king summoned his wife to appear before the men- she was a beautiful woman, and he wanted to show her off. But Queen Vashti refused to come. Whether it was because she was in a bad mood or upset with the king, or didn’t want to be paraded in front of a huge group of overserved men, the book doesn’t say.

  • The Story of Purim
    The Story of Purim Created by R’ Levi Solomon [email protected] Sources taken from www.aish.com & www.tzivos-hashem.org The Story of Purim The story of Purim took place over 2000 years ago, when the Jewish people were living in Persia. It was a hard time. The First Beit Hamikdash in Yerushalaim had been destroyed and lay in ruins. The Jews had been driven out of Israel, and exiled to Babylon, where they had to start a new life. For 70 years, they struggled to make a living in a foreign land. פרק א' CHAPTER 1 -- KING ACHASHVEROSH THROWS A PARTY 1. A lavish six-month celebration marks the third year in the reign of Achashverosh, king of Persia. 2. Queen Vashti refuses the king's request to appear at the celebration and display her beauty for the assembled guests. Achashverosh has her killed 3. The king's advisors suggest that Vashti be replaced with a new queen. Achashveirosh was a powerful king of Persia. He conquered Babylon, and moved his capitol city to Shushan, where he ruled over almost the entire world -- 127 countries in all, from India (Hodu) in the east to Ethiopia (Kush) in the west. It was the largest kingdom in the world The prophecies of Yirmiyahu Hanavi - that the exile would end, and that the Beit Hamikdash would be rebuilt did not seem to be happening. Sadly, the Jews wondered if they would ever return to Yerushalaim, and their homes in the Holy Land. King Achashveirosh made a huge feast. He miscalculated the 70 years and thought that the Jews would never be able to return to Eretz Yisroel.

  • Lesson Five: an Unexpected Banquet—Esther 5
    Lesson Five An Unexpected Banquet Esther 5 For Such a Time as This Life Lessons from the Book of Esther Last Week in Review News of the crisis facing the Jews had spread throughout the Persian Empire. Mordecai and others put on sackcloth, mourning loudly and openly. One of the palace servants saw this, and went to tell Queen Esther. Esther was deeply grieved, and knew Mordecai couldn’t enter the palace in such a condition. She sent clothing to him so he would put it on and she could see him, but he refused. She then sent a trusted eunuch to find out what had so disturbed Mordecai. The servant returned with the news of what had been decreed against them, a copy of the order, and Mordecai’s message that she should go to the king to intercede and plead for the lives of their people. Esther was shocked at this request. She sent back the message that no-one could go in to the king without being called. They faced death if they did; the king didn’t forgive their trespassing, and she hadn’t even been called to him for over a month. Mordecai knew how to bring his young cousin around, though. He told her that if she didn’t intervene, God would bring relief and deliverance somehow, but she and her family’s line would be destroyed. He reminded her that being in the palace wouldn’t save her, but perhaps God had brought her to this place of influence “for such a time as this.” Esther requested that Mordecai gather all the Jews he could, to fast and pray for her for three days, and she and her maidservants would as well.
