Document Details : Title: Resurrection and Biblical Tradition Subtitle: Pseudo-Ezekiel Reconsidered Author(s): HOGETERP, Albert L.A. Journal: Biblica Volume: 89 Issue: 1 Date: 2008 Pages: 59-69 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.89.1.3188935 Abstract : Analysis of 4QPseudo-Ezekielb (4Q386) fragment 1 columns I-II reveals that this parabiblical Qumran composition stands in a more intricate dialogue with biblical tradition than previously assumed. This article refines previous argument that contrasted the apocalyptic vision of resurrection in 4QPseudo-Ezekiela (4Q385) fragment 2 to the prophetic vision of national restoration in MT Ezekiel 37 (/MasEzek). 4QPseudo-Ezekielb 1 i-ii exhibits an apocalyptic vision which incorporates both resurrection for the pious in Israel and an eschatologized notion of restoration. Textual dialogue in Pseudo-Ezekiel together with textual tradition in Papyrus 967 attest to an eschatological reading of Ezekiel 37 constituting an early part of biblical tradition. |
