Syllabus for OL943-HA: Akkadian Fall Term 2020(Sept 16-Dec. 16, 2020) Syllabus for OL943-HA: Akkadian Fall Term 2020 (Sept 16-Dec. 16, 2020) Wednesdays, 6:00-9:00 PM Instructor: Gordon Hugenberger, PhD General Description: This course is designed to introduce students to the exciting world of Akkadian, the probable first language of Abraham, and the predominant language of ancient Mesopotamia for more than two millennia. Nearly a million texts in Akkadian have been recovered from the ancient world, only half of which have been translated. Nevertheless, these texts have already provided some of the most dramatic discoveries and insights into the cultural background of the Hebrew Bible, its literary structures, its laws, its practices, as well as crucial evidence for a better understanding of the Hebrew language itself (both grammar and vocabulary), since Akkadian is the earliest attested Semitic language. This course follows a semi-inductive approach to the language, based on selected readings from the Code of Hammurabi. Using a variety of tools, students will master a basic list of Neo-Assyrian cuneiform signs and the elements of Old Babylonian vocabulary and grammar (the classic form of the language), reflecting especially the analysis of W.G. Lambert. Regular attention will be given to the implications of this study for a more adequate understanding of Hebrew and for the interpretation of the Old Testament. Prerequisite OL 502, Hebrew II Required Textbooks: G.P. Hugenberger, with Nancy Erickson, Basics of Akkadian (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, forthcoming) – PDF’s of this grammar will be supplied free of charge.

Testing, and Grading: Students will be graded on the following basis: 1) Students will be required to keep a daily log of the time they spent each day studying Akkadian. This log will be passed in each week (11 weeks) along with any other required written homework. The Quantity of time spent each day as reported on the log will in no way affect one’s grade. 0 pts. 2) Written homework assignments will be submitted each week before class (electronically) or at the beginning of class (if we are able to meet in person). So long as the written assignment shows reasonable effort, this will meet the requirement. 11 pts. 3) In-class (11 classes) oral participation is mandatory and will be evaluated mainly based on the evidence of effort. There may also be an occasional short spot quiz. 22 pts. 4) 1st Mid-term exam. This test will consist of the cuneiform text of some portion, or portions, of the Laws of Hammurabi that has been studied. Students will be asked to transliterate, normalize, and then translate that text. They will also be asked to parse any verb forms and explain any other interesting grammatical features. Students will not be asked to compose words or sentences in Akkadian. They will be asked, however, to reproduce on exams major noun, pronoun, adjective and verbal paradigms, once these are covered. 20 pts 5) 2nd Mid-term exam. 20 pts. 6) Final exam. One third of this test will cover material learned in the earlier portion of the course, but its emphasis (two thirds) will be on material covered since the 2nd Mid-term exam. 27 pts. Letter grades will based on the commonly used scale of 90-92 = A-; 93-96 = A; 97-100 = A+, etc. The lowest passing grade will be 60 = D-.

  • Love Conquers All: Song of Songs 8:6B–7A As a Reflex of the Northwest Semitic Combat Myth
    JBL 134, no. 2 (2015): 333–345 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1342.2015.2810 Love Conquers All: Song of Songs 8:6b–7a as a Reflex of the Northwest Semitic Combat Myth aren m. wilson-wright [email protected] Waggener 14a, 2210 Speedway C3400, Austin, TX 78712 Scholars have often noted YHWH’s apparent absence from the Song of Songs. At best, he appears under the name Yah in the difficult and morphologically frozen to suggest that שלהבתיה in Song 8:6. In this article, I go beyond שלהבתיה term love plays the role of YHWH in the Song. Using Calvert Watkins’s work on inher- ited formulae, I argue that Song 8:6b–7a draws on the Northwest Semitic combat myth to identify love with YHWH, the victorious divine warrior. As part of this argument, I identify three inherited formulae in the Hebrew Bible, the Baal Cycle, and later Christian and Jewish literature: “Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, the twisting serpent,” “rebuke Sea,” and “strong as Death.” Within the Song, the phrase “strong as Death” connects this passage with the Baal Cycle, while the evoke scenes of mythic combat from the rest נהרות and מים רבים references to of the Hebrew Bible. This interpretation, I argue, also has mythic resonances in the adjuration refrain in Song 2:7, 3:5, and 8:4 and the phrase “sick with love” in Song 2:5 and 5:8. כי־עזה כמות אהבה קשה כשאול קנאה רשפיה רשפי אש שלהבתיה מים רבים לא יוכלו לכבות את־האהבה For love is as strong as Death, jealousy harsh as Sheol.

  • JOHN ADNEY EMERTON John Adney Emerton 1928–2015
    JOHN ADNEY EMERTON John Adney Emerton 1928–2015 DURING HIS TIME AS REGIUS PROFESSOR of Hebrew at the University of Cambridge John Emerton stood at the forefront of international research on the Hebrew Bible and related disciplines. In addition he assumed sig- nificant administrative positions and was tireless in several editorial roles, while at the same time he gave leadership in teaching during a period when the faculties in Cambridge in this field were exceptionally strong. I The path to this position was clear enough once he had embarked on his academic studies at Oxford in 1947, but there was nothing in his family background to explain his particular choice of subject for his first degree. He was born on 5 June 1928 in Winchmore Hill in North London as a first son to Adney Spencer Emerton and Helena Mary (née Quin). His father was an accountant with the family firm which became United Dairies. In 1938 the family moved the short distance to an area of Southgate known as Lakenheath, which meant that John attended Minchenden School there. He was clearly successful, gaining entrance to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, to read Theology. This was from the start a response to his strong sense of vocation to the Anglican ministry, fulfilled by ordina- tion some five years later. This vocation was nurtured primarily at school and at the local Anglican church. Some of his Minchenden friends were committed Christians; of them, some were later ordained and Emerton kept in touch with them throughout his life. In addition, the friendly vicar, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVI, 417–439.

The scholarly tradition which I hitherto sought to acquire in my Semitics and Middle-Eastern studies while in the Middle-East, has proven a basic and complex experience in adjustment and in learning. In this process — and specifically in this thesis — I have been fortunate to have the guidance and the discipline of Dr. George Gerych , LLD, MLS, professor at the Library School of Ottawa University whose high and very particular qualifications for such guidance it would be inappropriate for me to elaborate, except to acknowledge as thesis director.

  • The Psalm of Habakkuk
    Grace Theological Journal 8.2 (1987) 163-94. [Copyright © 1987 Grace Theological Seminary; cited with permission; digitally prepared for use at Gordon and Grace Colleges and elsewhere] THE PSALM OF HABAKKUK RICHARD D. PATTERSON Thematically, textually, and literarily, the psalm of Habakkuk (3:3 -15) differs markedly from the material in the rest of the book. Translation and subsequent analysis of the psalm reveal that it is a remnant of epic literature, and as such it focuses on the theme of the heroic. Throughout the passage, God is the hero whose actions divide the psalm into two parts. The first poem (vv 3-7) relates the account of an epic journey as God guides his people toward the land of promise. In the second poem (vv 8-15), God's miraculous acts in the conquest period are rehearsed. The singing of these two epic songs was designed to evoke in the listeners a response of submission to Israel's Redeemer. Habakkuk's own response (in vv 16-19) illustrates the proper movement toward Israel's grand and heroic Savior. * * * INTRODUCTION AN enigmatic psalm of praise occupies the greater portion of the third chapter of Habakkuk's prophecyl and exhibits striking differences from the preceding two chapters. Thematically, the first two chapters are largely narrative, recording Habakkuk's great per- plexities (1:2-4, 12-17) and God's detailed responses (1:5-11; 2:1-20); whereas, with the third chapter, a positive tone emerges in the l W. F. Albright, "The Psalm of Habakkuk," in Studies in Old Testament Prophecy Dedicated to T: H.

  • We Don't Hate
    PHILOSOPHIA CHRISTI VOL. 11, NO. 1 © 2009 We Don’t Hate Sin So We Don’t Understand What Happened to the Canaanites An Addendum to “Divine Genocide” Arguments CLAY JONES Christian Apologetics Program Biola University La Mirada, California The new atheists herald God’s ordering of the destruction of the Ca- naanites as evidence for “divine genocide.” Paul Copan’s article, “Is Yahweh a Moral Monster?” in a recent issue of Philosophia Christi, along with his reply to Wes Morriston’s response in this issue, helps surface some important considerations in this discussion.1 But I think that some related yet underappreciated factors deserve a closer look. For example, do we genuinely comprehend the depth of Ca- naanite sins? Do we understand the significance of God’s having all but de- stroyed Israel for committing Canaanite sins? Could it be that because our culture today commits these same Canaanite sins we are inoculated against the seriousness of these sins and so think God’s judgment unfair? How might a theology of the human heart and its sinful condition illuminate a motiva- tion for “divine genocide” claims? In short, most of our problems regarding God’s ordering the destruction of the Canaanites come from the fact that God hates sin but we do not.
