15 I. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND INFORMATION ON MY SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY AND RESEARCH PLANS
In the last two decades I have studied mainly the history of Israel in Biblical times, the Neo- Assyrian Empire, and the Bible, concentrating on the following main subjects:
1. Historical Geography of the Land of Israel (see C/1, 3–4, 7, 10, 12, 20, E/4 and more); 2. The Formation and the Settlement of the Israelite Tribes (see Ph.D. Thesis; C/8, 23, D/3, 6, E/1–2 and more); 3. International Relations (see my books: The Chronology of the Kings of Israel and Judah [1996]; and Israel and Assyria [2001]; and C/9, 11, 13–14, 16–19, 24, 27, 31, 33, 35; D/2, 9); 4. West Semitic and Akkadian Inscriptions (see e.g., C/15, 21, 32, 34; F/1–4, E 9 and more); 5. Biblical Historiography (see e.g., C/2, 5–6, 22, 25–26, D/1, 5, 8, 10, 12); 6. Biblical studies (see mainly my commentaries on the Books of Joshua and 1 Chronicles); D 12, 12a 7. Socio-economic studies (see mainly my last book The Lower Stratum Families in the Neo-Assyrian Period; C/28: Financing of Private Commercial Enterprises in the Neo-Assyrian Period: KAV 121 and other Related Texts from Aššur [published in SAAB XV]; C/29–30, 36; D/4, 7, 11; E/3 and more).
In the next few years I plan to work on a book entitled The Deuteronomistic Composition, Past, Present and Future which will concentrate on the great composition of the Deuteronomist. This book will be divided into three parts and 12 chapters. The unity of the composition will be studied in the first part, which will contain chapters on its structure and chronological framework, as well as the relation between the book of Jeremiah and the books of Deuteronomy, Joshua–Kings. I will argue that the distinct resemblances in content and form between the Deuteronomistic editing in Deuteronomy, Joshua–Kings, on the one hand, and in Jeremiah, on the other, may have been that of a single person, who in the mid-sixth century BCE prepared a wide-ranging history of Israel from Moses to Jeremiah. The message of the composition is one of hope and consolation: the destruction and the exile are not presented as a dead end, and are not the finis of the relationship between God and his people:
11 on the contrary, this catastrophe is merely the start of a new path. The bond between God and Israel is eternal, and the Israelites will know restoration and redemption. The second part of the book will study the formation of these six books, and the third part will concentrate on the theological and historical perceptions of the Deuteronomist.
I also aim to complete my study on the Upper Stratum families in the Neo-Assyrian period (8th–6th centuries BCE). I have studied about 1200 Akkadian texts relating to these 250 families, and I intend to publish my research in a special volume entitled The Upper Stratum Families in the Neo-Assyrian Period.
