Document Details : Title: Why are the Sins of Ephraim (Hos 13,12) and Job (Job 14,17) Bundled? Author(s): HOLTZ, Shalom E. Journal: Biblica Volume: 93 Issue: 1 Date: 2012 Pages: 107-115 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.93.1.3188749 Abstract : Hos 13,12 and Job 14,17 describe sins as tied in a bundle. Since other verses imply that sins serve as God’s own evidence against sinners, the common image in these two verses is best explained in light of evidence preservation procedures attested in Neo-Babylonian legal texts. |
