Abstract:
One of the most striking images of God, both in the Bible and in Jewish tradition generally, is that of judge: “The judge of all the earth.” In this sense, one may describe God as He who holds in His hands all legal authority: He is the legislator, He is the judge, and He is the one who executes judgment. Alongside God's judgment, the Bible recognizes the existence of a human system of judgment, in which human beings act as judges; indeed, it even commands it: “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates.” What is the relation between God, the judge of all the earth, and those human beings who fulfill the function of judges? The majority of classical Jewish sources in the Bible and in Rabbinic literature that deal with law and the legal system reflect a certain relationship between human judgment and divine justice. Thus, we find in the Bible the notion that God emanates His authority to the judges who perform this function. In this spirit, Moses commands the judges whom he has appointed: “judge righteously… for the judgment is God's.” The relation assumed here between God and human judgment finds expression in different ways, extending over a considerable spectrum. At one end, one might describe God as the transcendent source of authority of the legal system, whose practical significance is limited. On the other end, one might describe it as a Divine Presence that inspires the judges and even allows them to appeal to God and to involve Him in the legal decision.

Abstract:
AbstractData culled from the Hebrew Bible (e.g., Ezek 19:19-9) and, especially, zoology casts light on the odd construct phrase in Judg 14:5, kěpîr ' ărāyôt. The phrase, which may even be a compound word, is best understood as designating a nomadic subadult lion. This makes good sense of a number of details in the narrative, including the lion's location in the vineyards of Timnah and its agressive behavior. It also underscores still further the astonishing nature of Samson's victory over precisely this kind of lion.

Abstract:
Inspired by the contemporary interest in the ‘rewritten Bible’ phenomenon, this article offers a detailed comparative study of the account of Israel’s first judge (‘Othniel’) in Judges 3:7-11 and its Josephan version in Ant. 5.179-184, where the figure is called ‘Keniaz’. Josephus, the study finds, significantly amplifies the Bible’s presentation, likewise redirecting attention from the theological to the political sphere when describing the nature of Israel’s offense that sets events in motion. Josephus’ version further evidences a number of similarities and differences with Pseudo-Philo’s rewriting of the biblical Othniel story in his Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum 25-28. At the same time, Pseudo-Philo has much more to tell about the personage than either the Bible or Josephus.

Abstract:
This article contributes to the growing conversation surrounding masculinity in the Hebrew Bible by examining the Levite's performance of masculinity in Judg. 19.1–20.7. It critiques the dominant conception of ideal, or hegemonic, masculinity within the Hebrew Bible in two stages. First, it portrays the Levite's attempts to navigate the competing demands for the behavior of a hegemonic male as ultimately leading to the tragic, outrageous death of the pilegesh. Second, it depicts the Levite's subsequent successful performance of hegemonic masculinity as causing the tragic, outrageous events following the Levite's departure from the narrative. Thus, Judg. 19.1–20.7 joins other biblical texts in attempting to renegotiate the conception of hegemonic masculinity in the Hebrew Bible.

Abstract:
Abstract Elements of the semantic frame of Sacrificing recurrently appear at key positions throughout the narratives of Judges. Humans in Judges are violently treated as animals, and many times treated as victims brought to sacrifice. This is the case of Ehud Ben Gera killing Eglon, the cutting of Adoni-Bezekʼs fingers by the tribe of Judah, and the Philistines slaughtered by Shamgar’s oxgoad, thus suggesting images of cattle violently handled by the Israelite judges. In addition, Jephthahʼs daughter is sacrificed, and an Israelite concubine is slaughtered by a Levite. Other elements present in the narratives also evoke the semantic frame of Sacrificing; Abimelech kills his brothers on a single stone, which may represent an altar. He scatters salt over the city of Shechem, a procedure connected to the preparation of sacrifices in the Bible, and Ehud Ben Gerahʼs right thigh symbolizes the thigh of the altar (Lev 1:11). These actual and symbolic acts of violence and sacrificing point at a deterioration of moral standards in the period of the Judges, and perhaps implicitly criticize the priestly way of life, in which sacrificing is a significant procedure.

AbstractThis response to the reviews of Rickie D. Moore, Walter Brueggemann, and Robert Pope seeks to answer their questions regarding Pentecostal hermeneutics and to expand the conclusions of my book, The Unheard Voice of God. I gratefully acknowledge both the positive reception of my book and the collegial tone of the reviews. The response to Pope revolves around the role of Scripture in the lives of Pentecostals and elements of the Pentecostal approach to the Bible. I address Brueggemann's suggestion that I extend the results of my study to include the entire Deuteronomic History. Finally, a dialogue with Rickie Moore considers more closely the nature of 'hearing' the voice of God through the biblical text.

Abstract:
Abstract The Song of Deborah’s unusual language and style, and the potency of its imagery combine to make it one of the most analysed and debated texts in the Hebrew Bible. Although many aspects of the Song have remained opaque, there is scholarly consensus that it was composed in approximately the form we have it in the period of the Judges. This consensus is largely founded on linguistic analysis of the text. This article approaches the Song from a different direction. It considers the cultural markers found in Judges 5:28-30 and analyses what they reveal about the Sitz im Leben of these verses.

Abstract:
Period after Joshua’s death was very important in history of Israel. Unorganised tribes were been under influences of better-developed Canaanites and only begun to create more monolith society. Additional factors have been dangerous from outside and numerous invasions of enemies so sometimes Israel was a subordinate foreigner ruler.Overcoming particularisms and trying to set against this situations Israelites inducted kind of rulers governing of federations of few tribes, who Bible call “the Judges”. Etymology of this term and similar examples from another regions of ancient Near East sign its sacro-political character. Has been trust that appointed they God alone in answer of petitions of Israelites. Book of Judges mentions row of names but not much we know about these persons. However seem that much of they it’s possible to relate with priestly tribe of Levites.Situation becomes especially dangerous when Israelites have begun war with better-organised and armed Philistines. It was time of last and greatest judge, Samuel, who appointed first king of united state Israelites, Saul. He didn’t rule long and post successfully fights with Philistines was killed in battle. However earlier was happened something what caused Saul with Samuel and Yahweh “rejected” king. As his successor is induct David, who however got power just after Saul’s death.On time of first king of Israel is date beginning of Yahwism as a state-religion. It didn’t mean Israelites were become monotheists but it was first step of this process where faith of Yahweh been one of most important factors keeping the sense unity among the Israelites.Negative image of Saul in the Bible most probably created writers connected with later kings from David’s dynasty.

Clifton, Bruno John. "Family and identity in the Book of Judges." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/287463.

Abstract:
The importance of the family in ancient Near Eastern society is so frequently recognized that it has become a truism. It is therefore surprising that in a work of identity-making such as the Bible, the influence of family on the texts' formation has been under studied. Such an omission may be because the discussion on family in the Bible has largely concentrated upon reconstructing day-to-day life as background to our reading. Scholars have not seen family loyalty as an essential component in the narratives' meaningfulness. In my dissertation, I examine family and identity in the Book of Judges. I argue that the family is the dominant locus of identity for people throughout the first millennium BCE and that Judges' social communication depends upon acknowledging this dynamic. The meaning of the local folklore gathered together in Judges relies upon an appreciation of the values held by the society from which it comes and distinguishes this core material from the editorial framework. This perspectival dichotomy also raises questions about the book's redactional methodology. Identity is revealed through socio-relational dynamics; hence, my thesis takes a social-scientific approach to the texts. Following an introduction, the first chapter discusses family and identity with particular reference to the localized structures of first-millennium BCE Palestine. The next four chapters present texts from Judges in which I employ four socio-anthropological theories. I begin with the tale of Jael and Sisera in Judg 4 and 5, to which I apply the concept of social space. I then compare the stories of Abimelech in Judg 9 and Jephthah in Judg 11 in light of ascribed social status. The wedding of Samson in Judg 14 forms the third study for which endogamy and the socio-economic autonomy of the household are relevant theories and I end by discussing hospitality and social distance in the eventful journey of the Levite in Judg 19. I conclude that the 'nationalizing' of these folktales by the editorial frame must nevertheless respect their familial perspective to maximize the success of Israel's identity-making.

Abstract:
La présente thèse porte sur l’histoire vétérotestamentaire de Jephté (Jg 10,6-12,7). Le travail est divisé en deux parties : la première concerne la formation du texte biblique et propose une nouvelle analyse critique du passage à travers la confrontation entre TM, LXX, Vg et d’autres sources. Si cette comparaison permet une réflexion sur le rapport entre le TM et le modèle hébraïque de la LXX ainsi que sur les relations entre les différentes recensions de la Bible grecque, l’étude du lexique et des thèmes qui y sont présents a conduit à formuler une nouvelle hypothèse de datation et de contextualisation historique et littéraire du récit à l’intérieur du corpus biblique. La seconde partie se concentre sur l’histoire des interprétations du passage dans le monde grec et latin du Ier jusqu’au début du ve siècle, et elle a abouti à la constitution d’un dossier regroupant les passages, examinés dans leur contexte, qui commentent ou mentionnent l’épisode. L’attention donnée au contexte a permis de résoudre certains problèmes qui avaient jusqu’à présent empêché la reconstruction de l’histoire de l’exégèse du passage (attributions de certains fragments caténaires, datation du De virginitate d’Ambroise, etc.). Cette nouvelle approche de recherche conjugue l’analyse complète de l’épisode biblique et l’étude approfondie de son exégèse et révèle, d’une part, les choix effectués lors de la composition d’un épisode scripturaire très problématique, et, de l’autre, les différents mécanismes employés par les exégètes pour expliquer le sens du récit où la bonté de Dieu, qui a permis le sacrifice humain en sa faveur, est mise en cause
This thesis deals with the OT history of Jephthah (Jdg 10:6-12:7). The work is divided into two parts: the first one concerns the formation of the biblical text and proposes a new critical analysis of the passage through the confrontation between MT, LXX, Vg and other sources. This comparison examines the relationships between the MT and the Hebrew model of the LXX as well as the differences between the different recensions of the LXX; furthermore, the study of the lexicon and the themes present therein leads to the formulation of a new hypothesis on the time of composition and the historical and literary contextualization of the episode within the biblical corpus. The second part focuses on the history of the interpretations of the passage in the Latin and Greek world from the 1st century AD to the beginning of the 5th century, and has led to the constitution of a dossier of passages, examined in their context, which comment on or mention the episode. The attention given to the context has made it possible to resolve certain problems that have hitherto prevented the reconstruction of the exegetical path of the passage (attribution of certain catenary fragments, dating of Ambrose’s De virginitate, etc.). This new research approach combines a complete analysis of the biblical episode with a thorough study of its exegesis. It thus reveals, on the one hand, the choices made during the composition of a sacred, though problematic text and, on the other hand, the different mechanisms employed by the exegetes to explain the meaning of a story in which the goodness of God, who tolerated the human sacrifice, is questioned

Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour but d’analyser l’aspect littéraire et historiographique des textes relatant l’émergence du royaume d’Israël à partir du règne de Jéroboam Ier. Elle analyse aussi les récits de traditions ancestrales du royaume septentrional et essaie d’y déceler leurs remaniements judéens ultérieurs. Elle répartit leurs genres littéraires et étudie l’aspect diachronique de leurs couches rédactionnelles. Les hypothèses principales qu’elle propose concernent la rédaction deutéronomiste, l’importance des textes originaux par rapport aux remaniements rédactionnels, le culte israélite sous Jéroboam, le mythe du royaume uni et de la politique pan-israélite, la réforme de Josias, l’aspect iconique des divinités locales, l’importance du règne d’Ezékias dans le domaine de la production littéraire, la rivalité entre les déportés et la population autochtone, et l’importance de l’époque monarchique pour la compréhension des textes de la Bible
This thesis aims to examine the aspect of literary and historiographical texts describing the emergence of the kingdom of Israel from the reign of Jeroboam. It also analyzes the stories of ancient traditions of the northern kingdom and is trying to detect their subsequent changes in Judah. She shared their literary genres and examines the diachronic aspect of their editorial sections. The main hypothesis proposed are related to Deuteronomic History, the importance of texts in relation to handling editorial in the Israelite worship Jeroboam, the myth of the united kingdom and the pan-Israelite ideology, the reform of Josiah, iconic aspect of the local deities, the importance of the reign of Ezekias in the field of literary production, the hostility between deportees and the autochthonic population and the importance of the monarchic period for understanding the texts of the Bible
