Document Details : Title: Textwelt, Kontextbezug und historische Situation in Jesaja 7 Author(s): OSWALD, Wolfgang Journal: Biblica Volume: 89 Issue: 2 Date: 2008 Pages: 201-220 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.89.2.3188947 Abstract : The narrative in Isa 7 unfolds a particular scenario in which only the initial verse 7,1 refers to the historical situation of the so-called Syriac-Ephraimitic war. What follows exhibits a completely different situation involving a threat and very similar to Isa 36-37. Several elements in the narrative in Isa 7 (the way of the fuller’s field, Shear-Yashub, the almah, Immanuel) only make sense within the context of Isa 36-37 and other parts of the book of Isaiah. Isa 7 is a highly intertextual entity that uses older texts to advocate its message of trustfulness in the God of Israel. |
