In these texts "the Exile" is a central ideological concept. It serves to explain the destruction of the monarchic polities and the social and economic disasters associated with them in terms that YHWH punished Israel/Judah for having abandoned his ways. As it develops an image of an unjust Israel, it creates one of a just deity. But YHWH is not only imagined as just, but also as loving and forgiving, for the exile is presented as a transitory state: Exile is deeply intertwined with its discursive counterpart, the certain "Return". As the Exile comes to be understood as a necessary purification or preparation for a renewal of YHWH's proper relationship with Israel, the seemingly unpleasant Exilic conditions begin, discursively, to shape an image of YHWH as loving Israel and teaching it. Exile is dystopia, but one that carries in itself all the seeds of utopia. The concept of Exile continued to exercise an important influence in the discourses of Israel in the Second Temple period, and was eventually influential in the production of eschatological visions. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 606 $aJews$xHistory$yBabylonian captivity, 598-515 B.C$xBiblical teaching 606 $aJews$xHistory$y586 B.C.-70 A.D 606 $aExile (Punishment)$xBiblical teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aExile (Punishment)$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a224/.095 701 $aBen Zvi$b Ehud$f1951-$0966647 701 $aLevin$b Christoph$f1950-$0568623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456155003321 996 $aThe concept of exile in ancient Israel and its historical contexts$92476789 997 $aUNINA
