By Marc Bloch, Professeur a I’Universite de Strasbourg. En Depot: Librairie Istra, Maison d’Edition, Strasbourg, 15, rue des Juifs, Paris, 57, rue de Richelieu. Humphrey Milford: Oxford University Press, 1924. Professor Bloch has written a most exhaustive and erudite study of the “divinity that doth hedge a king.” As he states, the origins of the conception of mystic powers possessed by royal persons are lost in the obscurity attendant upon the beginnings of most human institutions. Certain it is that from the earliest periods down to a comparatively few centuries ago certain superhuman attributes were ascribed to those hereditary rulers who reigned by divine right. Because the supposed power of healing by the royal touch or other means figured among the origin of the tradition. He states that these, we must by no means allow ourselves to Henry i was most anxious to conciliate his think that the European or English kings whose English subjects.

    Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D

    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.
  • Part I: Explaining the Biblical Term 'Son(S) of God' in Muslim Contexts

    Part I: Explaining the Biblical Term 'Son(S) of God' in Muslim Contexts

    Delicate Issues in Mission Part I: Explaining the Biblical Term ‘Son(s) of God’ in Muslim Contexts by Rick Brown The Problem for Muslims n some languages and people groups, sonship terminology is used almost exclusively for direct biological relationships, i.e., it means the same as I ‘offspring’ in English. In Classical Arabic, for example, the counterparts for ‘son’ and ‘father’ mean biological son and biological father. These terms were not used metaphorically for other interpersonal relationships, not even for a nephew, a step-son, or an adopted son.1 One did not normally call someone else ibnî “my son” as a term of endearment, because it could suggest a claim of paternity, with all that this entailed. The Arabic usage contrasts signifi cantly with the situation in Hebrew and Aramaic (and Akkadian), where one could address his son, grandson, nephew, son-in-law, and neighbor’s son as bnî / brî ‘my son’ and the female counter- parts as bittî / bratî ‘my daughter’. (The plural of ‘son’ was gender inclusive.) The disciples of a prophet, rabbi, or craftsman could be called his “sons.” The citizens of a kingdom could be called the king’s “sons,” and a paramount king could refer to his vice-regent or viceregal king as his “son.” Speaking through the prophets in language the people could understand, God called his people his “son” and his faithful servants his “sons.” He was their king and the king of kings, so when he set David over them has his viceregal king, he called David his “son,” and similarly with King Solomon and a King he said would arise from their lineage.

  • Ethnics As Personal Names

    Ethnics As Personal Names

    9 Ethnics as Personal Names P. M. FRASER And from the sign is gone Sibylla’s name THE STUDY OF THE USE OF ETHNIC FORMS as personal names is only an incon- clusive footnote to the study of Greek names, to which the accumulation of further examples does nothing to establish the existence of general rules. A comparison of the similarity of the name-forms of Macedonia and Thessaly, of Thrace and Phrygia, of Illyria and South Italy, bears significant fruit, but the use of ethnics as personal names offers only individual items, which create no permanent or structured addition to our knowledge of Greek name- giving. It is as if by chance one had picked up an old family bible on a provin- cial second-hand bookstall and found on the back leaf a few casual names which mean nothing to us now. Though the use of this category of names by the ancient Greeks is per- haps worthy of note in itself, the bestowal of ethnics, ktetics, and other local adjectives as personal names remains a matter of individual history, and the chances of explaining even one particular instance of it, without secondary independent evidence, are small indeed. We see only the external face of Greek name-giving. A large number of recognizable types have been identi- fied, and established: names derived from animals, names derived from rivers, names derived from gods—the largest group of all—names derived from physical characteristics. Or we may regard names linguistically, dividing them into compound and single names, and on that basis too theophoric names, with their secondary derivatives—month-names, festival names, derivatives of cult-titles and so on—would come very near the head of, if not actually at the head of, the whole vast thesaurus of Greek names.

    Athaliah, a Treacherous Queen: a Careful Analysis of Her Story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21

    Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 Robin Gallaher Branch School of Biblical Sciences & Bible Languages Potchefstroom Campus North-West University POTCHEFSTROOM E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 This article presents a critical look at the story of the reign of Athaliah, the only ruling queen of Israel or Judah in the biblical text. Double reference in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles shows her story’s importance and significance to the biblical writers. The largely parallel accounts read like a contemporary soap opera, for they contain murder, intrigue, harem politics, religious upheaval, and coup and counter-coup. Her story provides insights on the turbulent political climate of the ninth century BC. However, the purpose of the biblical writers is not to show Athaliah as the epitome of evil or that all women in power are evil. Opsomming Atalia, ’n verraderlike koningin: ’n noukeurige analise van haar verhaal in 2 Konings 11 en 2 Kronieke 22:10-23:21 In hierdie artikel word die verhaal van Atalia krities nagegaan. Atalia was naamlik die enigste koninging van Israel of Juda wie se regeringstyd in die Bybelteks verhaal word. Die dubbele verwysings na hierdie tyd in 2 Konings en 2 Kronieke dui op die belangrikheid en betekenis van haar verhaal vir die Bybel- skrywers. Die twee weergawes wat grotendeels parallelle weer- gawes is, lees byna soos ’n hedendaagse sepie, want hierdie verhale sluit elemente in soos moord, intrige, harempolitiek, godsdiensopstand, staatsgreep en kontrastaatsgreep.
