Abstract

Kāḇôḏ in kəḇôḏ YHWH has been translated predominantly with abstract words such as “glory” or “presence” throughout the Hebrew Bible. Some scholars argue that kəḇôḏ YHWH simultaneously marks the divine presence and hides the divine essence. These understandings do not capture the specific function and signification of kəḇôḏ YHWH in the pentateuchal Priestly source (P and H). In P and H, kəḇôḏ YHWH conveys the imagery of radiant, fiery clothing, comparable to Mesopotamian melammu. The deity always appears before the public with kəḇôḏ YHWH, whereas the text never says that the deity meets anyone privately with it. kəḇôḏ YHWH expresses the royal aspect of the deity who requires honor and submission. This understanding of kəḇôḏ YHWH in P reveals that the Priestly God is not abstract, enigmatic, or transcendent.

Kāḇôḏ 在kḇôḏ YHWH在整个希伯来圣经中主要用抽象词翻译，如“荣耀”或“存在”。一些学者认为ḇôḏ YHWH同时标志着神圣的存在并隐藏着神圣的本质。这些理解并没有捕捉到k的具体功能和意义ḇôḏ YHWH在五趾祭司来源（P和H）。在P和H中ḇôḏ YHWH传达了光芒四射、火热的服装形象，可与美索不达米亚的melammu相媲美。神总是带着k出现在公众面前ḇôḏ YHWH，而文本从来没有说神与任何人私下会面ḇôḏ YHWH表达了需要荣誉和服从的神的皇家方面。这种对k的理解ḇôḏ YHWH在P中揭示了神圣的上帝不是抽象的、神秘的或超越的。
