摘要

Enki(苏美尔人)/Ea(阿卡德人)神是美索不达米亚神话、仪式和学术的核心，但关于他究竟是什么神仍然存在分歧。他掌管地下水、魔法和“智慧”——但这是一种什么样的智慧呢?在亚述学中有一种传统的观点认为，恩基与其说是圣人，不如说是骗子;他的知识与技巧和狡猾有关，与道德或正直无关。这篇文章分析了Enki与美索不达米亚智慧文学之间被忽视的重要联系，展示了与圣经箴言中发现的理想的相似之处。在这些文本中，恩基与人类生活的正确行为联系在一起，使他不仅狡猾和狡猾，而且聪明。

An Underestimated Aspect of Enki/Ea

Abstract The god Enki (Sumerian)/Ea (Akkadian) is central to Mesopotamian myth, ritual and scholarship but there is still disagreement as to precisely what he is the god of. He governs subterranean water, magic, and ‘wisdom’—but what kind of wisdom was it? A traditional argument in Assyriology claims that Enki is more trickster than sage; his knowledge has to do with craft and cunning, not ethics or rectitude. This essay analyzes important neglected associations of Enki with Mesopotamian wisdom literature, demonstrating parallels with ideals found in the biblical book of Proverbs. In these texts Enki is associated with the proper conduct of human life, making him not just crafty and cunning but wise.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern Religions (JANER) focuses on the religions of the area commonly referred to as the Ancient Near East encompassing Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, and Anatolia, as well as immediately adjacent areas under their cultural influence, from prehistoric times onward to the beginning of the common era. JANER thus explicitly aims to include not only the Biblical, Hellenistic and Roman world as part of Ancient Near Eastern civilization but also the impact of its religions on the western Mediterranean. JANER is the only scholarly journal specifically and exclusively addressing this range of topics.
