Journal of Hebrew Scriptures



Articles

Abstract :
Distinguishing terminologically and conceptually between polysemy, polyvalence, and double coding, this essay outlines a framework for treating instances of discursive polysemy in the Hebrew Bible. Particular attention is given to the Song of Songs, the polysemous nature of which is demonstrated through discussions of Song 5:2-6 and 5:7.

Abstract :
In God in the Dock, Carleen Mandolfo argues that the move from second person speech to God to third person description of the divine within "dialogic psalms" reflects the "interjection" of a secondary voice. While her focus on speech to a human audience is significant, the criteria she employs prove problematic. Rather than multiple voices, the psalms Mandolfo discusses are better understood as reflecting shifts in address between multiple audiences spoken by a single supplicant.
