>Dear all,

>(http://www.jhsonline.org) has recently published the following:

>Journal of Hebrew Scriptures - Volume 8: Article 25 (2008)

>Ian Young,  Late Biblical Hebrew And The Qumran Pesher Habakkuk
>
>Abstract
>
>The most widely held scholarly view argues that Early Biblical Hebrew
>(EBH) developed into Late Biblical Hebrew (LBH) during the sixth-fifth
>centuries BCE. It is claimed that on this basis scholars are able to
>date the composition of biblical books by analysis of their language. In
>contrast, we argue that EBH and LBH represent not successive
>chronological periods, but rather co-existing styles of Hebrew. This is
>demonstrated by the language of the Qumran Pesher-commentary on the
>biblical book of Habakkuk. Despite dating to the first century BCE and
>thus long after the period when LBH is said to dominate, Pesher Habakkuk
>is in EBH. It does not share the accumulation of LBH forms which
>characterises the core LBH books like Ezra, and exhibits a large number
>of cases where it prefers EBH linguistic forms against their LBH
>equivalents.

>Shaaraim - The Gateway To The Kingdom Of Judah
>
>Abstract
>
>The article discusses the location of the city of Shaaraim mentioned in
>Josh 15:36 and 1 Sam 17:52. It first argues that its proposed
>identification with Khirbet Qeiyafa, north of the Elah Valley is
>mistaken. Then it argues that Shaaraim is located on the main road that
>led from the Valley of Elah to the city of Gath. This article proposes
>that the place-name Shaaraim means "gate" and that the city was named so
>because it was located on the western border of Judah with Philistia, a
>place that was seen as the gateway to the kingdom of Judah.
