This study brings these two critical modes together to offer an account of how Job 28 achieves meaning. The heart of the study consists of two major sections. The first is a reading of the poem with special attention to the conceptual background of its metaphors. Rather than a poetic account of mining technology, Job 28 is properly understood against the heroic deeds of ancient Mesopotamian kings described in Sumerian and Akkadian royal narratives, especially the Gilgamesh epic. The second major section is a thorough philological and textual commentary in which comparative philological and text-critical methods are complemented by an aesthetic rationale for restoring the text of the poem as a work of art. The study reveals a multileveled and image-driven masterpiece whose complexity impacts how one reads Job 28 as poetry and theology. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;$v398. 606 $aHebrew poetry, Biblical$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHebrew poetry, Biblical$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a223/.1066 686 $aBC 6730$2rvk 700 $aJones$b Scott C$01033950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455270003321 996 $aRumors of wisdom$92452776 997 $aUNINA
