Journal of Hebrew Scriptures

I am glad to announce the publication of two new articles in the Journal of Hebrew Scriptures (http://www.jhsonline.org/index.html).

Nicolai WINTHER-NIELSEN, "Stones on Display in Joshua 6: The Linguistic Tree-Constructor as a 'PLOT' Tool."

Abstract: This article explores the usage and relevance of new persuasive technology for display and interpretation of complex linguistic data in Hebrew Bible texts. In discussion with recent studies, such as den Braber (2010), the article resorts to the Werkgroep Informatica database (WIVU) in the Linguistic Tree Constructor (LTC) in order to show how interpreters can display analyses based on the new "Connectivity Model" recently developed by Renkema (2009). This approach is exemplified through an analysis of the discourse structure of Joshua 6:5 and 6:15-20.

Collin R. CORNELL, "God and the Sea in Job 38."

Abstract: This article argues that Job 38:8–11 emphasizes God's control over the Sea while also reframing their relationship. The stanza affirms God's power over the Sea by fronting a verb of constraint, looping into the previous stanza, and ending with the Sea's limitation. The stanza reframes God's relation to the Sea by casting the Sea as a newborn, contrasting its expulsion with its containment, depicting God swaddling it, addressing it personally, and anticipating aspects of the second divine speech.
