  • On Defining a Prophet a Theological-Ethical Study of the Balaam Narratives of Numbers 22-24
    ON DEFINING A PROPHET A THEOLOGICAL-ETHICAL STUDY OF THE BALAAM NARRATIVES OF NUMBERS 22-24 Herbert D. Ward, Jr. Dissertation Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Theology at the University of Stellenbosch Promoter: Professor H. L. Bosman March, 2009 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signed:. Date: 10 February 2009 Herbert D. Ward, Jr. Copyright © 2009 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Balaam narratives of Numbers 22-24 have long proven to be a source of fascination for readers of the Old Testament. The narratives present Balaam as a faithful ‘word-of-Yahweh’ prophet. However, the Tale of the Donkey (22:22-35) portrays him as an ‘unseeing’ prophet intent on personal gain. How does one explain the conflicting views of Balaam within the narratives of Numbers 22-24? Socio-rhetorical criticism was employed as a methodology to examine the development of these conflicting views of Balaam. An analysis of the Inner Texture revealed that the repeated themes of ‘seeing’, ‘blessing’, and ‘cursing’ are central to the narratives, and serve to connect Balaam with the paradigmatic prophet Moses of Exodus 3 and Deuteronomy 18. The study of the narratives’ Intertexture revealed numerous inner-biblical allusions, and considered the possible relevance of the Deir ‘Alla texts to the narratives.

Dating the story has proven to be difficult.3 For redaction-critical reasons, a few contemporary exegetes would like to date it later than the Priestly source, in which, in their view, the patriarchal history and the tale <25> of the exodus were first combined.4 Arndt Meinhold’s idea that the story reflects concerns of 1 The Judah-Tamar story and the blessings of Jacob, Gen 38 and 49, will be bracketed out for methodological reasons.

  • Literary and Linguistic Studies in the Song of (In Press) Songs
    LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC STUDIES IN SEFER BIL vAM (NUMBERS 22–24) A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Clinton John Moyer August 2009 © 2009 Clinton John Moyer LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC STUDIES IN SEFER BIL vAM (NUMBERS 22–24) Clinton John Moyer, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation’s holistic approach to Sefer Bil vam , applied in the course of its philological and literary treatments of the text, yields significant new observations that stand in dialogue with the lengthy established discourse on this pericope. In the first portion of the study, a considerable number of individual linguistic peculiarities receive close attention, and contribute collectively toward a demonstration of style- switching and setting-switching as devices operative in the text. The study’s second part moves beyond these features, first treating the minutiae of the pericope’s literary mechanics, and then turning to the larger tropes and patterns operative not only within this text, but also between it and other portions of the biblical corpus. Ultimately, this research highlights the richness, complexity, and subtlety of Sefer Bil vam as a sophisticated literary unit, and demonstrates that literary and linguistic approaches are crucial for accessing the totality of such material’s intrinsic meaning. In addition, however, it re-engages prior discourse by providing a new perspective from which to evaluate longstanding questions about this pericope’s date of composition and historical context. Specifically, it points to the conclusion that this is a Judahite text from the 8th century BCE, whose content draws on Gileadite Balaam traditions that penetrated into Judah as a consequence of Assyrian incursions into the region under Tiglath-Pileser III (744–727 BCE).
