- Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire
ISAC welcomes the University of Chicago’s Jeffrey Stackert, Professor of Hebrew Bible, for a lecture titled: Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire. A biblical scholar who situates the Hebrew Bible in the context of the larger ancient Near East, Stackert’s research focuses on the composition of the Pentateuch, ancient Near Eastern prophecy, cultic text, and ancient Near Eastern Law. His first book, Rewriting the Torah: Literary Revision in Deuteronomy and the Holiness Legislation was the recipient of the 2010 John Templeton Award for Theological Promise.
This program is made possible by the support of ISAC Members.
This is real historian work - putting the pieces together, finding connections, recreating the flow of events. Nice and logical presentation.
This is a very informative talk, thank you! Looking forward to watching it a second time!
Thank you
Excellent lecture, and a wonderful examination of textual-context ^v^ ^v^
Terrific lecture. Especially the concurrence of the Sîn/Šamaš text within the western, Tayinat exemplar and Deuteronomy 28:26-33 is a superb piece of historical sleuthing. Could it be that, when King Joshua had the Deuteronomy produced in 625 BC, that he borrowed heavily from Assyrian and proto-Genesis texts (the rest of the Pentateuch was only compiled 200 years later, post Ezra). To do this he probably employed exiled Israelite scholars who had sought refuge in tiny Jerusalem and would have had access to the texts. They then interposed the name Jahweh for either the relevant Assyrian or Northern Israelite king or deity.
Supremely interesting
Not BCE! It’s BC. We didn’t change the names of months or the days of the week to accommodate wokeness.
The hebrew is from akkadian
Semitic
Jeffrey Stackert | Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire. 18.4.24. so when did you awaken to decide you were in a relationship with.......?
No one! literally no one mentioned about “KINGDOM OF ISRAEL “ ever! ISRAEL TRIBES/PLACE YES! but not “KINGDOM” , name the things as it is please! And HEBREW BIBLE IS not historical source to REFER, it was rewritten many many many times!
What is your point ?
Dolt. Achab, King of Israel, has an important part in the Qurq Stele, where he is recorded as contributing 10,000 foot soldiers and 2000 horsemen to the coalition that defeated Shalmanasser III of Assyria. And King David is mentioned as the arch-predecessor of the kings of Israel, in the stele of Tel Dan. And if you had listened to the lecture, you would know that there is an Assyrian account of the invasion of Judah in 701 BC.
BCE should be BC “before Christ”…it’s ALL about God, not “eras”
Its BCE. The world doesn't revolve around your fictional character.
