Document Details : Title: Jacob, comme prototype d'Israël en Osée 12 Author(s): KOET, Bart J. Journal: Bijdragen Volume: 63 Issue: 2 Date: 2002 Pages: 156-170 DOI: 10.2143/BIJ.63.2.804 Abstract : In this article the picture of Jacob in Genesis is compared with that of Jacob/Israel in Hosea 12. While a tendency exists in exegetical literature to choose between a negative or a positive view, the thesis here proposed is that the negative image of Jacob in Genesis as well as in Hosea is a preparation for his change into Israel. Hosea uses the ambiguity of Jacob/Israel as an example for his audience. They love to cheat, but can find in Jacob a way to become Israel. |
