Abstract

Both the Hebrew Bible and extrabiblical literature consider food and drink to be gifts from the deity to be enjoyed by human beings, especially when they live according to the divine laws and in moderation. When it comes to extrabiblical early Jewish texts about the meal in the World to Come, one notices a curious detail: while the World to Come is portrayed as being one of utter abundance and joy, none of the texts actually describe the righteous as drinking. References to drinking natural water, fruit being turned into drink, or any other possibility for the human consumption of liquids are simply absent from these texts. How is this to be explained? This article investigates the possible reasons for the conscious or subconscious omission of a function of the human body that is most common to all human beings.

早期犹太文本中的饮酒:描述未来世界的一顿饭

希伯来圣经和圣经外文学都认为食物和饮料是神的礼物，供人类享用，尤其是当他们按照神圣的法律和节制生活时。当谈到圣经外的早期犹太文本中关于“未来世界”中的膳食时，人们会注意到一个奇怪的细节：虽然“未来世界》被描绘成一个充满丰富和欢乐的世界，但没有一个文本真正将正义者描述为饮酒。这些文本中根本没有提及饮用天然水、将水果转化为饮料或人类食用液体的任何其他可能性。如何解释？这篇文章调查了有意识或潜意识忽视人体功能的可能原因，这是所有人类最常见的。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
