| Title: Einige Aspekte des Textes "Elia am Horeb" - 1 Könige 19 Secondary Title: ByZ Volume: 42 Pages: 71-80 Type: Journal Article Year: 1998 Abstract: Roth, Wolfgang in: OTA 21.2 (1998), 442: "Elijah's sojourn at Mount Horeb presents readers, as already Josephus' renarration (Ant. 8.13.7) suggests, with related doublet: the prophet's identical laments of vv 10/14, formulated with 1 Kings 17-18 in view, and the nearly identical exchanges between the heavenly voice and the prophet before and after the theophany (vv 11-13). Such narrative overloading is evidence of rewriting, one which serves to interpret both the Elijah story 1 Kings 17-18 and the following stories of Jehu and Elisha/Hazael who function as executors of divine judgment directed against Baal-oriented Israel. The present text of 1 Kings 19 thus not only downplays the theophany motif, but also makes of Elijah's journey to Horeb virtually a detour without significance". |
