Abstract

The priestly Primeval History unmistakably depicts the fundamentally conflictual existence of humans on earth through the growth of the human population before the flood in Gen 5 and through the reordering of the world after the flood in Gen 9. The text encapsulates this conflictual existence with the word חמס “violence” (6:11, 13). Gen 5 in its original form, attested by the Samaritan Pentateuch, shows the decline of humanity. Thus, the priestly Primeval History states clearly how it conceptualizes evil and how evil came into the world.
论原始祭司历史中邪恶的起源
祭司的《太古史》通过《创世纪》第5章中洪水前的人口增长和《创世纪》第9章中洪水后的世界重组,准确地描绘了地球上人类存在的根本冲突。经文用“暴力”这个词概括了这种冲突的存在(6:11,13)。由撒玛利亚人的摩西五经所证实的创世记第5章的原始形式,显示了人类的衰落。因此,祭司的《原始历史》清楚地说明了它是如何定义邪恶的,以及邪恶是如何来到这个世界的。
