Abstract:ABSTRACT

Jer 2,1-9 commences a /></span>-lawsuit, yet much of the imagery and many of the themes found therein have not been fully explained. For example, what is the rationale behind the metaphor of Israel as Yahweh's ‘holy thing’ (<span class= /></span>) or ‘his first fruit’ (<span class= /></span>) in tandem with the motif of marriage? How do these positive portrayals of Israel function within the <span class= /></span> lawsuit, and in particular how do they relate to the unflattering allegations in verses 4–9? And what is the significance of the repetition of the verbal elements “to eat” (<span class= /></span>) and “to enter” (<span class= /></span>) in the first two oracles of this lawsuit? It is my contention that the answers to these questions are found in the subtle allusion that Jeremiah 2,3 makes to a type of ordeal in which a consumable that was imbued with magical properties was ingested and subsequent illness served as a sign of guilt and judgment.</td> </tr> <tr> <td align=
