EABS and SBL are proud to collaborate and to foster biblical scholarship together in Austria, a picturesque country that hosted the organizations also in 2007. SBL is particularly grateful to EABS for encouraging the flow of scholarship among European countries and beyond. Reimund Bieringer, the President of EABS, and Ana T. Valdez, its Executive Officer, have been great partners for this meeting, which represents the dedication of both organizations to support academic excellence and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. Since our last meeting in Vienna, scholars from an additional seven countries have joined SBL’s membership, adding their expertise and perspectives to the global work of fostering biblical scholarship. Those countries include Bolivia, Georgia, Myanmar (Burma), Pakistan, and Uganda. The Society’s members represent over 2,200 institutions in ninety-four countries and six continents. They specialize in fields as diverse as Akkadian philology, archaeology of gender, computer-assisted research, psychoanalytic criticism, and translation theory, in addition to the textual and interpretive histories of biblical literature and other scriptures. Our host institution, the University of Vienna, was founded in 1365 and is the oldest university in the German-speaking world (650 years old in 2015). The university’s rectorate and four of its faculties— Historical and Cultural Studies, Philological and Cultural Studies, Catholic Theology, and Protestant Theology—have supported the meeting. The Institute of Jewish Studies has been instrumental to the meeting’s organization. In particular, Armin Lange, from the Institute, has made this meeting possible—from the invitation to host the conference, to its planning, with no detail left undone. You will notice a number of fascinating sessions on reception history that have been organized by scholars from the Institute and the four faculties and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Jüdische Studien in Österreich. I encourage you to attend these sessions, especially the plenary sessions Monday through Wednesday from 11:45 AM to 12:45 PM. We also thank Florian Krug and Falk Pastner of the university’s conference management office for their coordination and assistance. I am always indebted to my colleagues on the SBL staff, who tirelessly organize excellent meetings year after year. And as learned societies, we together recognize all the EABS and SBL member-volunteers, who give freely of their time, especially the program committees and program unit chairs. This meeting is by members for members. The numerous exhibitors and advertisers who bring the latest in print and digital publications enrich SBL’s congresses. As they produce such resources to support your scholarship, support them by purchasing and using their products in your teaching and research. Special thanks go to Peeters Publishing and the Nida Institute of Biblical Scholarship at American Bible Society for their continued collaboration and proud sponsorship of the Society’s International Meetings.. John F. Kutsko Executive Director Society of Biblical Literature 4 · 2014 International Meeting · Welcome to the joint SBL/EABS Meeting in Vienna As the current president it is my honor and my pleasure to welcome you to this joint meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and the European Association of Biblical Studies in Vienna. Our host is the University of Vienna, to whom I would like to express our sincere gratitude for hosting our conference. Vienna is one the most famous European capital cities and a major world cultural center. The University of Vienna is the oldest German speaking university (founded in 1365). Nobel prizes and central intellectuals taught or studied at the University and other intellectual trailblazers populated the city. Names such as Sigmund Freud, Erwin Schrödinger, Karl Popper, Arnold Schoenberg, Theodor Adorno and Stefan Zweig immediately come to mind. Welcome to Vienna and may we all learn from each other at this meeting and together advance knowledge in our field! The EABS is a dynamic community of scholars which is trying to meet the challenges of the quickly changing world of biblical and cognate studies. Rooted and physically located in Europe,

  • NOTES to the SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically Chapter 6
    NOTES TO THE SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically chapter 6 continues chapters 4–5 with its threatening predictions. From a dramatized condemnation of Jerusalem the prophet turns now to address the mountains of the surrounding land of Israel, the sites of the high places with their idolatric worship. The Septuagint (LXX) is shorter than the Masoretic Text (MT). LXX lacks the conflations of MT and of its maximizing text into which vari- ants have been incorporated. On the other hand, the trimmer text of LXX sometimes suggests it has been contracted1. Whereas in MT verses 8-9 seem to ring a hopeful note, in LXX they further develop the threatening message of the forgoing verses. The Double Name Twice in a role in verse 3, and once in v. 11, the critical editions of LXX have single kúriov where MT reads the double Name evei inda. In earlier contributions we already dealt with this phenomenon2. Here it may suffice to briefly summarise the data, adding remarks on the treatment of the topic in some newer commen- taries, and on L.J. McGregor's evaluation of the Greek evidence. In MT the double Name evei inda occurs 301 times3. It is typical for the book of Ezekiel were it is attested 217 times. In these instances, the critical editions of the Hebrew text, BHK and BHS, characterise inîda∏ as a secondary intrusion, either by commanding the reader to delete (dl) it, or by saying that it is an addition (add). The basis for this correction is the Greek text, and the suggestion that inîda∏ was inserted into the text as a help for the reader, to remind him of the fact that the “tetragram” could not be pronounced and was to be replaced by Adonay.

    University of Alberta Making Magyars, Creating Hungary: András Fáy, István Bezerédj and Ödön Beöthy’s Reform-Era Contributions to the Development of Hungarian Civil Society by Eva Margaret Bodnar A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics © Eva Margaret Bodnar Spring 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • The Middle East Peace Process According to God Ezekiel 35
    The Middle East Piece Peace Process According to God Ezekiel 35 Ezekiel 35 God’s Judgment Against Mount Seir This is the End Time judgment of GOD against His enemies who hate the Jews! The Palestinian flag flying over Jerusalem will be the reason! 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “ Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you; I will stretch out My hand against you, and make you most desolate; 4 I shall lay your cities waste, And you shall be desolate. Then ”.the LORDיהוה you shall know that I am Mt.Seir = Mt. Edom = Kingdom of Esau = The Palestinians! (vs 1) A mountain in Bible prophecy can refer to an actual mountain location or a Kingdom. Seir is location for Edom, the home of Esau’s descendants. (Gen.36:8). The Palestinians are physical and spiritual descendants of Esau. They hate the Jews just as Esau hated Jacob (Gen 27:41). The word SEIR (Gen. 25:25) in Hebrew means “hairy,” and has the same Hebrew root as the word “satyr” or devil. GOD declares in Romans 9:13, “ Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” Yehovah is referring to 2 future nations who were at war even in Rebekah’s womb (Gen.25:23). The physical and spiritual seed of Esau today are the Palestinians. While Jacob’s seed produces the nation of Israel, the Jews.

  • Reading Guide for Ezekiel 35:1-36:15
    Reading Guide for Ezekiel 35:1-36:15 This unit is comprised of two major sections: 1) a collection of judgment oracles against Mount Seir, i.e. Edom, Judah’s neighbor to the southeast (35:2-15) and 2) restoration oracles to the mountains of Israel (36:1-15). Both fall under a single message-reception formula that serves as their heading (35:1), and both begin with a command for Ezekiel to address each of them. The single focus of the two sections is the restoration of the land of Israel. The people of Judah had been exiled from the land leaving it open for any nation to claim it as their own. Edom was such a nation that saw Israel’s exile as an opportunity to possess their land. This unit reveals that not only will Edom be judged but the Lord plans to restore the land back to the exiles. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MESSAGE-RECEPTION FORMULA (35:1) I. JUDGMENT AGAINST MOUNT SEIR (35:2-15) This first section is a series of four oracles of judgment, each ending with the recognition formula. The first oracle begins with a challenge and pronouncement of judgment (vv. 3b-4). The second oracle gives reasons for the judgment, namely the violence done to Judah (vv. 5-9). This is followed by another judgment oracle for Edom’s false claim over the land (vv. 10-12a). Finally, Edom’s mockery over Judah’s desolation will result in their own desolation (vv. 12b-15). Command to Ezekiel to Prophesy to Mount Seir (35:2-3a) The Lord is Against Edom (35:3b-4) Quotation Formula (v.

In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.
