  • Naso 2017 Delivered by Rabbi Aaron Krupnick 6/3/17 Just a Few Moments Ago We Heard a Quote from This Week's Torah Portion, Naso
    Naso 2017 Delivered by Rabbi Aaron Krupnick 6/3/17 Just a few moments ago we heard a quote from this week's Torah portion, Naso. We blessed the Dias family with Priestly Blessing, "The Yivarechecha," although since it is the blessing of the Kohanim, perhaps it would have been more appropriate, Alan, for you to bless us since you yourself are a Kohen. It is in this week's Torah portion that we read, "The Lord said to Moses, "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'Thus shall you bless the Israelites. Say to them: "May Lord bless you and protect you; May the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; May the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.' (Num. 6:23-27) This is among the most ancient of all prayer texts we have in our sacred tradition, and one of the most familiar. It is very, very old: It was used by the Priests/Kohanim in the Temple; both Temples in fact. And it is used to this very day, not just for b'nai mitzvah, but as a blessing for many sacred Jewish occasions. We recite it over our children each and every Friday night. It is especially beautiful and poignant when it is said to the bride and groom under the chuppah. It is such a simple and beautiful blessing. The Birkhat Kohanim is the oldest biblical text extant, way older in fact than the Dead Sea Scrolls. In 1979, the archeologist Gabriel Barkay was examining ancient burial caves at Ketef Hinnom, outside the walls of Jerusalem when a thirteen-year-old boy who was assisting Barkay discovered a hidden chamber.

Chapter 7 Israelite Inscriptions from the Time of Jeremiah and Lehi Dana M. Pike The greater the number of sources the better when investi- gating the history and culture of people in antiquity. Narrative and prophetic texts in the Bible and 1 Nephi have great value in helping us understand the milieu in which Jeremiah and Lehi received and fulfilled their prophetic missions, but these records are not our only documentary sources. A number of Israelite inscriptions dating to the period of 640–586 b.c., the general time of Jeremiah and Lehi, provide additional glimpses into this pivotal and primarily tragic period in Israelite history. The number of inscriptions discovered from ancient Israel and its immediate neighbors—Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Phoenicia—pales in comparison to the bountiful harvest of texts from ancient Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt.

  • The Gold Plates and Ancient Metal Epigraphy
    THE GOLD PLATES AND ANCIENT METAL EPIGRAPHY Ryan Thomas Richard Bushman has called the gold plates story “the single most trouble- some item in Joseph Smith’s history.”1 Smith famously claimed to have discovered, with the help of an angel, anciently engraved gold plates buried in a hill near his home in New York from which he translated the sacred text of the Book of Mormon. Not only a source of new scripture comparable to the Bible, the plates were also a tangible artifact, which he allowed a small circle of believers to touch and handle before they were taken back into the custody of the angel. The story is fantastical and otherworldly and has sparked both devotion and skepticism as well as widely varying assessments among historians. Critical and non-believing historians have tended to assume that the presentation of material plates shows that Smith was actively engaged in religious deceit of one form or another,2 while Latter-day Saint historians have been inclined to take Smith and the traditional narrative at face value. For example, Bushman writes, “Since the people who knew Joseph best treat the plates as fact, a skeptical analysis lacks evidence. A series of surmises replaces a documented narrative.”3 Recently, Anne Taves has articulated a middle way between these positions by suggesting that 1.

  • People Blessing People Parashat Naso, May 31, 2014; 2 Sivan 5774 Rabbi Adam J
    People Blessing People Parashat Naso, May 31, 2014; 2 Sivan 5774 Rabbi Adam J. Raskin, Congregation Har Shalom, Potomac, MD When I was a kid, I distinctly and vividly remember that at the conclusion of Friday night services at my Reform temple in Cleveland, my rabbi would come to the center of the bimah to bless the congregation. He would lift his arms high in the air, spreading his fingers above the heads of the congregation, and intone the priestly benediction. May God bless you and keep you. May God’s countenance shine down upon you and be gracious to you. And May God bless you with peace. The organ would play softly in the background, and I remember gazing up at him, several steps above us, wearing his black pulpit robe, saying words like countenance that I definitely didn’t understand…but I knew in my kishkes that something holy, something almost magical was going on. In fact, that spectacle of my rabbi blessing the congregation is one of my earliest memories of being in a synagogue. It’s actually appropriate that this priestly blessing ritual was my earliest synagogue memory, because as it turns out, the priestly blessing which comes from this morning’s parasha in Numbers 6:24-26 happens to be the oldest Biblical fragment ever to be found. In 1979 an archeologist digging at Ketef Hinnom, a site just to the southwest of the Old City of Jerusalem unearthed a tiny silver scroll, literally one inch by 3 and a quarter inches. After carefully, painstakingly unrolling this silver scroll, what was written on it was none other than the ancient words of this blessing.

  • The Text of the Old Testament
    THE TEXT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT John D. Meade Phoenix Seminary WHAT ARE SOME SCHOLARS SAYING? • To be candid: before the Bible, there was no Bible. Before the beginning of the second century CE, there were Jewish Scriptures whose forms were still in flux and many scriptures were excluded in the finalization of the Hebrew Bible. Prior to the second century there was no way of knowing which scriptural books would be included within the collection and which would be left out; nor was there any way of knowing how the final version of the individual books would appear.” — Timothy Michael Law, When God Spoke Greek, p. 19 LAW CONTINUED “We have seen repeatedly that the Septuagint and especially the Dead Sea Scrolls offer proof that the Hebrew Bible was not fixed before the second century CE and, perhaps more surprisingly, that many readers and users of scriptural texts before then were not bothered about it.” – Michael Law, When God Spoke Greek, p. 78 CLASSIFICATION OF DSS AT QUMRAN (TOV 2012) Proto-MT Pre- Close to Non- Samaritan LXX aligned Torah MSS 48% 11% 2% 39% Rest of MSS 44% 7% 49% Tov categorizes 57 texts from Qumran (38.77 percent of the biblical-DSS) as non-aligned (Scribal Practices, 332–35). A non-aligned text is defined by Tov as a text that is inconsistent in its agreement with the MT, LXX, and SP while preserving unique readings; thus the OT text is fluid. HOW WELL PRESERVED IS THE HEBREW OLD TESTAMENT? • Tov’s analysis of the so-called “non-aligned texts” leads many to believe that the Old Testament Text was fluid before it was finally standardized in the early second century AD.

  • Moses Versus Enoch? on the Reception of the Mosaic Torah In
    Michael Langlois Mosesversus Enoch?On the Receptionof the MosaicTorah in the Book of Enoch Onemay be surprised to find a contrib ution dealing with the Book of Enoch in a wlwne on "the Reception of the Torah in Deuterocanonical Literature. " Is Enoch alsoamong the deuterocanonicals? As a matter of fact, the Book of Enoch is part or both the shorter and longer lists of 81 biblical books recognized by the Church or Ethiopia. As such, it is naturally included in modem, printed Ethiopic bibles. It thus qualifies as "canonical" or, more specifically, "deuterocanonical" - even though such terms are foreign to the vocabulary of the Church of Ethiopia . What, then, can be said about the reception of the Torah in the Book of Enoch? The following essay will assess various theories , ranging from frontal op · position to wholehearted acceptance, and explore a solution that takes into ac­ count the redaction history of both the Book of Enoch and the Mosaic Torah. Mosesversus Enoch The Bookof Enoch may be perceived as strongly opposing the Mosaic Torah. An· dreas Bedenbender, for instance, talks about a rivalry between two "sides, 'Moses'and 'Enoch'."' Each side gathers around a centra l character , to the exten t that one may speak of a "Mosaic Judai sm" versus an "Enochic Judaism." These twocompeting trends within ancient Judaism did not converge before the second century BCE,when there may have been a "beginning rapprochement between Enochicand Mosaic Judaism. "2 Accordingto this view, such diametrical opposition was , in fact, due to po­ litical tensions between competing priestly families: Mosaic Judaism was the productof the Zadokite dynasty, whereas Enochic Judaism was, in Gabriele Boc­ caccini's words, "a nonconformist, anti-Zadokite, priestly moveme nt of dis- 1 ~ Bedenbender,1"he Place or the Torah in the EarlyEnoch Literature,"In The Early ~h Literature,ed.

  • Apotropaic” Tactics in the Matthean Temptation
    Journal of Postgraduate Research | Trinity College Dublin | 2014 “Apotropaic” Tactics in the Matthean Temptation by Michael Morris Abstract Among the Dead Sea Scrolls are a number of texts that provide insight into demonological beliefs and practices in Second Temple Judaism. Some passages are concerned principally with providing safety from demonic influence. This anti-demonic orientation is expressed in two fundamental ways: the first is exorcistic and intends to relieve a person of current demonic affliction; the second is apotropaic and seeks protection from future demonic harm. Assessments of exorcistic and apotropaic works have benefited scholars of both early Jewish and early Christian literature. However, the majority of discussions which intersect Qumran studies with demonological traditions in the Synoptic Gospels have typically focused on exorcism. Still, the growing interest in preventative, apotropaic prayer and the illumination of this tradition by the Qumran material is resulting in recent endeavours to broaden the conversation about anti-demonic elements in the gospels. Building on the latest contributions, I analyse the account of the Temptation in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt 4:1-11) with the aim of demonstrating the presence of apotropaic features in the pericope. Specifically, two components of the narrative are considered: quotations from (1) Deuteronomy and (2) Psalm 91. The nature and function of these biblical quotations in the gospel text are examined against the backdrop of anti-demonic traditions from Qumran. This comparison reveals a similarity between aspects of the Temptation and early Jewish apotropaisms. Not only does this suggest the likelihood of analogous apotropaic features in Qumran texts and a Matthean narrative, it puts key parts of the pericope into sharper focus.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    BURIAL PRACTICES, FUNERARY TEXTS, AND THE TREATMENT OF DEATH IN IRON AGE ISRAEL AND ARAM by RACHEL VIRGINIA KING NABULSI Under the Direction of RICHARD FRIEDMAN ABSTRACT This research encompasses two branches of evidence regarding the treatment of death and burial among the Iron Age cultures of Israel and Aram – the archaeological and the textual. The importance of this investigation lies in placing these groups in dialogue with one another, and in the comprehensive use of both archaeological and textual information. The archaeological aspect of this research begins by collecting archeological data from a large number of burial sites throughout both of the target territories. The range of this data extends from the time of the Late Bronze Age into the Persian period, but the primary focus is upon the Iron Age. The first section of the dissertation relates to each of these areas and what can be learned from a survey of sites over this period, with particular attention paid to commonalities and contrasts among the two cultural groups. The second half of this research encompasses the textual and inscriptional data. Textual data include inscriptions from coffins, tombs, and funerary monuments from the Iron Age through the Persian period in Israel and Aram. Another crucial aspect of this textual data is the text of the Hebrew Bible. The biblical text, particularly the narrative sections of the text, provides a great amount of material for understanding death in Iron Age Israel and Judah. iv INDEX WORDS: Israel, Judah, Aram, Hebrew Bible, death,
