摘要

本文研究了《圣经》中有关流行病的各种术语及其词源,以界定它们在文学和神学语境中的含义。它从希伯来语中的 deber、qeteb 和 resep 这三个词出发,考虑了流行病词的神性或恶魔背景,这些词在《圣经》的一些神话传说中都有使用。有关这一主题的主要著作都假定这些术语是古代近东的恶魔,或者是被希伯来圣经作者妖魔化的神灵。为了确定每个术语的功能,我们密切关注了这些文本在其上下文中的语言和语义方面。研究结果表明,尽管在某些情况下,这些术语的语义内容会有重叠,但它们之间的含义存在明显差异。然而,无论其原始含义如何,它们作为上帝的消极代理人的功能都占主导地位,这与《圣经》中其他希伯来神话起源概念的现象是一致的。

"Before Him Went Pestilence" (Hab 3:5): Biblical Lexis and Semantic Field of Epidemics
This article examines the various biblical terms for epidemics and their etymologies in order to define their meanings in their literary and theological contexts. It considers the possible divine or demonic background of the lexemes for epidemics, from the triad of Hebrew terms deber, qeteb and resep, which are used in some of the mythological passages of Bible. Major works on the subject proceed from the assumption that these terms were demons in the ancient Near East or that they were deities who became demonised by the authors of the Hebrew Bible. Close attention is paid to the linguistic and semantic aspects of the texts in their immediate contexts in order to determine the function of each term. The study shows a clear difference in meaning between the terms, although in some cases their semantic contents overlap. However, their function as God's negative agents prevail regardless of their original meaning and this is a consistent phenomenon with other Hebrew concepts of mythological origins in the Bible.
