However, in this paper, I aim to nuance this claim by attending to a rarely discussed Sabbath text in Nehemiah 13. I will argue that the Sabbath rest motif in Nehemiah is less concerned about the humanitarian aspect than the temple’s maintenance while at the same time fulfilling the imperial tax obligation. The Sabbath rest motif supports Nehemiah’s demand for the temple’s communal funding through tithes and offerings. To support this argument, I begin by reviewing the discussion about the Achaemenid imperial rule over the Jerusalem temple and its tax obligation. Scholars differ on how significant the Jerusalem temple was for the imperial administration, but some sort of obligation to the empire is generally accepted. After that, I analyze how the Sabbath concept is manifested in Neh. 13.15–22 in relation to its literary contexts. Along with clearing the temple storeroom, maintaining temple resources, and restricting exogamy, the Sabbath concept facilitates the temple’s maintenance and the meeting of the imperial tax obligation.","PeriodicalId":51830,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of the Old Testament","volume":"47 1","pages":"408 - 430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47262240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than a thousand drawings or paintings of animals dressed and acting like humans are known, especially from Deir el-Medina (near the Valley of the Kings). The four most common motifs are elite mice seated before a table of offerings, playing games, musicians in a banquet setting, and pastoral scenes. Many include mice dressed as elite individuals, in some cases with cat servants. One shows a mouse in a chariot, possibly fighting cats in a fortress. Many are on ostraca, perhaps suggesting disposability, but some are on papyri, so that the medium seems no comment on their value. The erotic nature of some of them suggests they were not aimed at children, but their exact aim remains uncertain: possibly satire (in certain cases) or to accompany oral tales or even subversive acts against the ruling elite. A long chapter on Egyptian aesthetic values shows that Egyptians—at least the elite—had a fine appreciation of art and artistry. The frustration comes from the images themselves. A number of clear and charming scenes are provided, but many of the images are less than clear. Of the 83 photos in an appendix, many are difficult and a few impossible to make out. The papyrus image in Cat. 1 is small but can be seen and is delightful. But Cats. 2–4 are only a centimetre or two in height and impossible to see, even with a powerful magnifying glass. The accompanying textual description is not a substitute for the visual. Why obviously obscure images were allowed in this book makes one question the judgment of the publishers and will stump the readers.

The extensive introduction covers standard critical issues, while paying particular attention to the theology and the themes of the book. A. expresses scepticism at the idea of authorship and emphasizes the role of scribes in transcribing and updating, as well as composing something new. He traces the development of Deuteronomy from an early legal text through to a significant engagement with Assyrian imperialism in the 8th and 7th centuries Bce. He regards Deut. 1–3 as a rewriting of earlier Pentateuchal traditions and an introduction to the rest of the book, rather than the first part of the Deuteronomistic History. The exilic and post-exilic periods play little role, and in the commentary key texts and themes are sometimes traced back to Moses and early tradition. The commentary is full and wide-ranging, including substantial text-critical notes, incisive discussions of syntactical issues, and four brief excurses (the Ten Commandments, the Sabbath, the central idea of the Shema, the Shema and the greatest commandment). The large number of footnotes treat more technical questions and bear witness to wide reading. A. emphasizes the literary and theological value of the book, with occasional references to its significance for Christians. He adopts a positive attitude in the morally problematic sections. It is frustrating that the initial bibliography listing is not comprehensive, although works can be tracked down in the author index. Overall, this is an outstanding commentary and deserves to be in every institutional and personal library. philip JenSon","PeriodicalId":51830,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of the Old Testament","volume":"47 1","pages":"48 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42603335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Did it originate in the northern kingdom or is it a diaspora novella? When and how did it take on its function as a bridge between the patriarchal and exodus narratives? In this clear and compact study, A. argues that the Joseph story originated in the time of the Omrides and climaxed in Joseph’s revelation of himself to his brothers (Gen. 37; 39.1; 40–47). A revised version was produced at the beginning of the 8th century, perhaps in the reign of Jeroboam II, which extended the story to include the death of Jacob and Joseph’s second assurance to his brothers (Gen. 50). At some point before the fall of the northern kingdom it was attached to the Jacob cycle. The story was then exposed to further smaller revisions as it was transmitted in Judahite cycles and incorporated into the patriarchal cycle, the priestly Triteuch, the Hexateuch and the Pentateuch. A. is particularly attentive to the thematic perspectives of the different versions of the story that he discerns, and the way that political claims of the earlier versions were developed in different directions as the book became an expression of diaspora existence. As we have come to expect from A., the weighing of previous scholarship is exemplary, and the examination of historical, exegetical and redactional problems is full of insight. natHan MacdonaLd","PeriodicalId":51830,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of the Old Testament","volume":"47 1","pages":"93 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44915710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This book is an attempt to help fill this gap, with emphasis on digital innovations for textual manipulation and enhancement. The Introduction lists some of these innovations but spends a good deal of energy on describing the ‘Stegemann method’ of reconstruction (though, as is noted, he did not in fact invent it). This detailed description is important because it is basically the Stegemann method that is being applied in this book. Part 1 (Methodology) has chapters on collecting materials, image manipulation, finding material on the verso, finding wads, textual reconstruction, fonts, damage patterns, and placing fragments on a canvass using the Stegemann method. There are also appendices on fonts and on margins of error. Part 2 (4Q418a [4QInstructione]) uses this particular text as an illustration of using the protocol on a manuscript for reconstruction of the text. This is a very enlightening volume, for which we can all be grateful, but I am slightly surprised that there is no mention of W.H. Brownlee, whose pioneering work on textual reconstruction was praised in the 1970s. leSTer l.
