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. > >Those who wish to access this article directly may go to >http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/JHS/Articles/article_102.pdf > >Journal of Hebrew Scriptures - Volume 8: Article 24 (2008) > >Nadav Na'aman, > >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. > >click here for the pdf version of the article >Those who wish to access this article directly may go to >http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/JHS/Articles/article_101.pdf > >----- > >New Reviews: > >Korpel, Marjo C.
