Hebrew Inscriptions

Abstract

In the light of the ceramical evidence it is clear that a small settlement was built here during the Hyksos period. It was abandoned during Late Bronze and Early Iron, but rebuilt and flourished during the period of the Hebrew monarchy. It was again rebuilt during the Persian period, but permanently abandoned afterwards. The neglect of aqueducts and springs probably led to the swamping of the region.

Several facts are interesting in this story. Firstly, that the periods of habitation attested here are just those when security in the country was good, so that it was possible to live in an unfenced village sited in undefended ground in the lowland. Secondly, in the conditions obtaining prior to the reclamation work undertaken by the Jewish settlers, the site, situated in swamp ground, could hardly have been inhabited. Yet the archaeological evidence indicates occupation here up to the Persian period. The changes in environment leading to the present state of things could thus, at the earliest, have begun after that time. The site thus furnishes dated evidence about geographical changes in the country of which it seems worth while taking cognizance.     

Nationalism and the Hebrew Bible*

Abstract. The Hebrew Bible, though generally seen mainly as a religious document, has also provided models of secular national identity. A number of biblical motifs have been revived in modern cultural nationalism: for example, the importance of moral regeneration, attacks on internal and external enemies of the nation, and the unification of disparate groups despite geographic dislocation. The Hebrew Bible also anticipates various forms of conflict in modern national identity: between the individual and the group, chosenness and egalitarianism, the narrowly national and the universal. In the two centuries after the invention of printing, the Hebrew Bible in vernacular translation had a decisive influence on the evolution of nationalism, particularly in Britain. The Bible was essential in the culture of empires but also, paradoxically, inspired defeated, suppressed and colonised people to seek freedom. A number of modern national poets, notably Whitman and the Hebrew poets Bialik and Greenberg, adopt a free verse neo‐prophetic mode of expression. The Hebrew Bible can, therefore, be read as the archetypal, and most influential, national document from ancient times to the rise of modern nationalism.     

Parallelism in Biblical Hebrew verse

Abstract

Parallelism is one of the best known features of Biblical Hebrew verse, yet, until recent years, work on this topic was usually content to repeat or elaborate Lowth's analysis. This paper explores the phenomenon of parallelism as a feature of rich potential implicit in all writing and fully activated in literary discourse, especially poetry. After a linguistic analysis using the seminal work of Jakobson on the syntagmatic (chain or sequence axis) and paradigmatic (choice or overshadowing axis) dimensions of text, the insights of a variety of artists are used to identify the dynamics of the device.     

散文二题

辽阔的原野和蓝天是鹰的天地大舞台。亘古至今,它就在这个舞台上腾空、展翅、滑翔……舞出了孤傲、舞出了坚毅。鹰之舞洒脱而舒展,或贴近地面飞翔,均匀地扇动着翅膀,或停在空中,俯瞰芸芸众生,或拍起翅膀,箭也似地掠过原野,尤其那一圈又一圈地向上盘旋的舞姿,似黑色绸带在空中舞动,撩拨着人的心情与之共舞。谁为鹰之舞伴奏?是长号?是小号?还是小提琴?大提琴?不,都不是。这些乐器怎能表现鹰之孤傲,鹰之坚毅?鹰之舞,最好的伴奏是风雨雪电的天籁之声。城市的上空几乎看不到鹰,城市人也就很少能欣赏到鹰的舞姿。偶尔看到的鹰,也只是略作盘旋,便展…
