Abstract

The present analysis of Ps 124 suggests that it relates the retreat to Israel of a foreign group of YHWH’s worshipers. Its Edomite identity emerges from its comparison with other Songs of Ascents (especially Pss 120, 122 and 129) and the Adam appellation of their land of origin (v. 2). The setting of Ps 124 in complex antiphony provides further details concerning their fleeing from Edom, their new commitment to Israel, and their Edomite brothers’ angry reaction. These events corroborate other biblical sources aiming for the integration of a group of Edomite poets and singers in the Jerusalem temple at the early Persian period. The consequences concerning the nature of the corpus of Songs of Ascents are discussed. https://doi.org/10.17159/2312–3621/2021/v34n1a4

以色列人中的以东叛逃者:来自诗篇124的证据

目前对诗篇124的分析表明，它与耶和华崇拜者的外国团体撤退到以色列有关。它的以东人身份来自于它与其他攀登之歌的比较(尤其是诗篇120、122和129)，以及他们原籍地的亚当称谓(第2节)。诗篇124的复杂对调提供了更多关于他们逃离以东的细节，他们对以色列的新承诺，以及他们的以东兄弟的愤怒反应。这些事件证实了其他圣经的来源，旨在整合一群以东诗人和歌手在早期波斯时期在耶路撒冷的寺庙。讨论了有关《登歌》语料性质的后果。https://doi.org/10.17159/2312-3621/2021/v34n1a4
