Document Details : Title: Der Prophet als Bleilot Subtitle: Exegese und Theologie in Amos 7 Author(s): BEZZEL, Hannes Journal: Biblica Volume: 95 Issue: 4 Date: 2014 Pages: 524-545 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.95.4.3186129 Abstract : The prophetic narrative Am 7,10-17 is understood as a text written for its present context, viz. the visions of Amos. Its intention is to explain the enigmatic אנך in the third vision. Having been the subject of interpretation already in Am 7,9 and 9,1aα.4b, this time the אנך is identified with the person of the prophet himself. Amos, the אנך, personifies the divine word. Therefore the text proves to be a Midrash which illustrates that innerbiblical exegesis and theology are closely related to each other in this particular case. |
