Document Details : Title: Hab 3 in intertextueller und kontextueller Sicht Author(s): MARKL, Dominik Journal: Biblica Volume: 85 Issue: 1 Date: 2004 Pages: 99-108 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.85.1.3194406 Abstract : The investigation of intentional intertextual references carried out in this article is based on the criteria introduced by the Anglicist Manfred Pfister. I arrive at the conclusion that Hab 3 refers to preceding biblical texts: In vv. 3.19 the prophetic prayer alludes to Deut 33 and 2 Sam 22 in order to assume the function of authoritative vicarious prayer, while avoiding martial ideology. If one approaches the book as a whole, Hab 3 stands in antithetical relationship to Hab 1, especially due to the fact that the theophany constitutes a counterattack against the Chaldean offensive described in Hab 1,5-11. This latter text seems to be given the form of a bitter ironical parody of Jer 5,15-17. |
