Abstract

Kenaz is a marginal figure in the Jewish scriptures. And yet for Pseudo-Philo, Kenaz’s importance rivals that of Moses and Joshua. Pseudo-Philo gives Kenaz a long and illustrious career unparalleled in the extant literature (LAB 25–28). But whereas past scholarship has seen the roots of Pseudo-Philo’s description of Kenaz in the language of Judg 1–3, this link is tenuous at best. Instead, the description of Kenaz is pieced together out of unrelated passages from the Jewish scriptures. This article explores the scriptural sources for Pseudo-Philo’s description of Kenaz. In short, Pseudo-Philo has not inherited Kenaz from tradition or exegesis but has invented him using the Jewish scriptures.
基纳兹:一个从经文中创造出来的人物?
基纳斯在犹太经文中是一个边缘人物。然而对于伪菲罗来说,基纳斯的重要性堪比摩西和约书亚。伪菲洛给了基纳斯一个长期和辉煌的职业生涯,在现有的文学无与伦比(LAB 25-28)。但是,尽管过去的学者已经看到了伪菲罗在士师记1-3中对基纳斯的描述的根源,这种联系充其量是脆弱的。相反,对基纳斯的描述是从犹太经文中不相关的段落拼凑而成的。本文探讨了伪菲罗描述基纳斯的经文来源。简而言之,伪斐洛并没有从传统或训诂学中继承基纳斯,而是利用犹太经文创造了他。

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.
