This discourse is less concerned with the specific contents of biblical texts than it is with the concept or motif of Scripture as a player in its own narrative about revelation, loss, and renewal. We discuss medieval sources associated with the Khazars, which relate the discovery of forgotten texts in a cave and their legendary role in establishing a new Jewish kingdom; a related motif in early Jewish and rabbinic sources about the temporary concealment of sacred texts and objects to safeguard them from the Babylonian invasion; and other examples where a rupture in the transmission of Torah becomes an occasion for new revelatory moments and renewed communities. Attention to how Jewish sources speculate about the transmission, contingency, damage, loss, and salvage of biblical texts also help us reconsider any simplistic binary between modern, historical-critical scholarship about the history of the text and \"traditional\" religious approaches to Scripture. Premodern writers knew their texts were damaged by time and political upheaval, and that their divine origins did not always safeguard them from damage and loss. But tales of loss—particularly traditions that identified the Babylonian Exile as a period of rupture in the transmission of sacred texts—were reconfigured in ways that did not challenge, but instead revitalized biblical tradition and authority by making the revelation of the Torah an endlessly repeatable moment. Tales of rupture and concealment were not only sources of anxiety and doubt about the reliability of Scripture: they were themselves key episodes in expansive biblical interpretation and in reflection about continuing revelation and community renewal.","PeriodicalId":35110,"journal":{"name":"Hebrew Studies","volume":"93 1","pages":"122 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83004525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What is the Translated Hebrew Bible? A Paratextual Reflection 翻译的希伯来圣经是什么?一种意蕴反思

A Paratextual Reflection","authors":"William Yarchin","doi":"10.1353/hbr.2020.0026","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hbr.2020.0026","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:In this essay I adapt the category of \"paratext\" first proposed by Gérard Genette and refined by book historians to explore particular questions about the translated Tanak. Paratext suggests itself as an analytical category because Targums, for example, typically appear in manuscripts and in print editions alongside (para) the Hebrew text, making the visual relationship between source and target language a paratextual one. What can we learn from such paratextual presentation of the translated Hebrew Bible, about biblical translation as a portal or threshold—as Genette's Seuil? Does it bring the anterior source to the reader's linguistic world or does it bring the reader to the linguistic world of the source? A historical overview of premodern Bible translations and of the discourse applied to these translations (another paratextual dimension) highlights the fact that translated texts and their readers are always embedded in and reflecting various social locations. Thus the translated Bible is properly understood broadly as a flexible social concept, not simply as a rigidly linguistic one. We see that the variously translated Tanak has always taken shape as a context-specific hermeneutical (para)textual entity, manifesting the pluriformities that characterize multiple-context hermeneutics. I conclude that, whatever else the Hebrew Bible is in its translated forms, it is a social phenomenon that roots its existence in the interstices of the translation's textual and paratextual characteristics.","PeriodicalId":35110,"journal":{"name":"Hebrew Studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"143 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73264678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Case of Hebrew "If Already": A Constructionist View 希伯来语“如果已经”的例子:一个建构主义的观点

On the formal side, the construction inherits semantic and syntactic properties of other conditionals. On the functional side, speech-act orientation (namely speaker, hearer, and discourse-orientation) motivates diverse scalar relations between the protasis and the apodosis which are interpreted to a great extent based on pragmatic factors. The analysis shows for example that a speaker-oriented perspective introduced in the protasis by the pattern אם כבר regarding the issue of flying as in אם כבר לטוס אז בסטייל ‘if already to fly then in style’ (= if it came to the point of flying, then it would be better to do it with style) sets the background for the speech act of recommendation in the apodosis. The entire sentence is associated with a suggestion for an alleviation of a subjectively inconvenient situation thereby giving rise to an upward scaling. This interpretation relies on pragmatic knowledge shared by the interlocutors such as the speaker’s identity, personal experience, and attitude toward flying.","PeriodicalId":35110,"journal":{"name":"Hebrew Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"277 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78645709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
