This study offers an innovative approach to the problem by focusing on an instructive case study. Building on the critical recognition that the prophecy contained in Jer 10:1-16 is a composite text, this study systematically discusses the various literary strands discernible in the prophecy: satirical depictions of idolatry, an Aramaic citation, and hymnic passages. A chapter is devoted to each strand, revealing its compositional development—from the earliest recoverable stages down to its late reception. A range of pertinent evidence—culled from the literary, text-critical, and linguistic realms—is examined and sets within broader perspectives, with an eye open to cultural history and the development of theological outlook.The investigation of a particular text has important implications for the textual and compositional history of Jeremiah as a whole. Rather than settling for the common opinion that Jeremiah developed in two main stages, reflected in the MT and LXX respectively, a nuanced supplementary model is advocated, which better accords with the complexity of the available evidence.Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;Volume 502.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old TestamentbisacshHebrew philology and language.Jeremiah.anti-idolatry polemics.textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament.224.206BC 6785SEPArvkMizrahi Noam1975-1641534MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819023903321Witnessing a prophetic text in the making3985737UNINA
