A Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint: Chiefly of the Pentateuch and Twelve Prophets
T. Muraoka Manufacturer: Peeters ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 9042911824 |
Book Description
This is a substantially expanded version of a lexicon published in 1993 dealing with the Twelve Prophets. This new edition fully incorporates the data relating to the Pentateuch, the centrepiece of the Septuagint. Some 4.500 lexemes (the vocabulary of the New Testament Greek has a little over 5.000 lexemes). Much data from outside the Pentateuch and Twelve Prophets incorporated. Some 1.500 lexemes complete for the entire Septuagint. Many of these do not occur in the Pentateuch nor in the Twelve Prophets, but occur in books for which the Göttingen edition is available. For about 60% of the 4.500+ headwords all the passages occurring in the corpus are either quoted or mentioned. Based on the critically established Göttingen edition of the Septuagint. A fully fledged lexicon, not a glossary merely listing translation equivalents in English. Important lexicographical data such as synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic expressions, distinction between literal and figurative, combinations with prepositions, noun cases, syntagmatic information such as what kind of direct or indirect objects a given verb takes, what kind of nouns a given adjective is used with, and much more information abundantly presented and illustrated with quotes, mostly translated. High-frequency lexemes such as prepositions and conjunctions fully analysed. Data on contemporary Koine and Jewish Greek including the New Testament taken into account. Morphological information provided: various tenses of verbs, genitive forms of nouns etc. Hebrew/Aramaic words which a given Greek headword is used to translate listed with frequency counts. Substantive references to the current scientific literature. An indispensable tool for students of the Septuagint, the New Testament, Hellenistic Judaism, and the Greek language.

The Jewish Prophet: Visionary Words from Moses and Miriam to Henrietta Szold and A.J. Heschel
Rabbi Dr. Michael J. Shire Manufacturer: Jewish Lights Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1580231683 |
Book Description
An inspiring and enlightening look at the role of the prophet throughout Jewish historyBeautifully illustrated with illuminations from medieval Hebrew manuscripts in the British Library."Then Miriam, the prophetess, took a timbrel in her hand....And Miriam chanted for them: Sing to the Eternal One, for God has triumphed gloriously." EXODUS 15:20-1
This beautifully illustrated collection of Jewish prophecy features the lives and teachings of thirty men and women. Throughout the ages, they bravely stood up to speak God' s message and made a lasting contribution to our understanding of both the human and the Divine. This book also provides an inspiring and informative description of the role each played in their own time-and an explanation of why we should know about them in our time.
These inspiring moral and spiritual leaders were critics of the evils of society, rooted out corruption among those in power and provided healing and comfort in times of despair and hardship. They ranged from the biblical prophets through the thinkers and leaders of medieval times to modern-day visionaries and activists.
All of these people spoke up bravely against the evils of their day, and were prepared to risk their lives for the sake of truth. The lives and words of these passionate advocates for change are still a source of great inspiration today. Rabbi Dr. Michael Shire introduces their own words by discussing the life and message of each prophet, revealing how much Judaism has contributed to society's moral values. Drawing parallels between the biblical and later prophets, he highlights our ongoing need for men and women to take on the role of the prophet. Illustrated with illuminations from medieval Hebrew manuscripts, The Jewish Prophet is a richly decorated and fascinating collection of inspiration and wisdom; and the only book to gather together prophecy from ancient, medieval and modern times.

Beautifully Illustrated Collection of Jewish Prophecy.......2003-01-24
This beautifully illustrated collection of Jewish prophecy in the biblical, medieval, and modern periods features the lives and teachings of thirty women and men. Some of these individuals are well known prophets of the Jewish people, while others are not traditionally labeled as such, but after reading their stories, it is clear why such an appellation is appropriate. There is no doubt that Moses and Isaiah are prophets, but it is not until reading this book that the prophetic contributions of such individuals as Leo Baeck and Solomon Ibn Gabirol are realized. What is more is that Shire has included over 100 full-color illustrations from medieval Hebrew manuscripts acquired from the British Library. Enjoying the rich, colorful illuminations brings to mind Shire's beautiful Illuminated Haggadah with reproductions of medieval haggadot from the same collection.
Throughout Jewish history, members of our faith have bravely stood up to speak God's message and connect our people closer to God, even when their vision was unpopular among the masses. Each of the thirty individuals described by Shire has contributed in their own unique way to the continuity of the Jewish people over the ages. Each selection contains a brief account of the prophetic life of the individual, including how the prophet was viewed both in his own time as well as posthumously. Shire includes some of the prophets' most meaningful words; selected from biblical literature, speeches, correspondence, and published material.
The Jewish Prophet serves as a stunning inspiration for us today when we no doubt could benefit from prophetic leadership. The book is a lasting tribute to the energy these prophets displayed in their own life, and serves as a beacon for us to continue their passion to make the world a better place - l'taken olam b'makhut shadai. Each of these women and men possessed the leadership skills necessary to encourage the members of the community to lead a moral and spiritual life. Throughout their prophetic reign, they went to great lengths to criticize the evils of society and root out corruption among those in power, often at tremendous risk.
The author acknowledges that some may perceive "prophet" as a controversial appellation for several of his choices; however, each of these leaders demonstrated a special category of kedushah and action that greatly benefited the Jewish people. Perhaps this outlook is most evident in Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel's classic study of the prophets, in which he wrote that "the prophet's eye is directed towards the contemporary scene; the society and its conduct are the main theme of his speeches. Yet his ear is inclined to God." Shire, like Heschel, understands that a different understanding of prophet includes figures who witness the world around them with outstanding passion. Heschel understood that the prophet is a person rather than a microphone. The prophets' had the difficult task of serving as a refuge when the Jewish community was in distress; using his voice and vision to sustain the faith of the people.
It is all too easy for us to paint the prophets with a broad stroke of the brush. In this volume, however, Shire has depicted thirty prophets as unique individuals whose prophesies are as diverse as the times in which they lived. Dr. Ismar Schorsch writes, "since religion is the human response to the experience of the sacred, the range of dispositions determines the variety of responses. Some perceive God visually and others auditorily, some rationally and others mystically, some through music, others through poetry. The endlessly fascinating testimonies in Torah and Tanakh, Talmud and Midrash to this human encounter of the Divine celebrates the tapestry of human typologies. Or in the words of the Rabbis: `The same signal came to many prophets, but no two prophets delivered it the same way' (B.T. Sanhedrin 89a)."
Certainly, Shire is not the first to consider some of these unlikely individuals to be prophets. Janusz Korczak, the physician, educator, and children's rights campaigner set up a children's hospital to care for the sick and dying he found in the street, and risked his own life to provide medicine and food for these children. He could have escaped from the Nazis, but instead he chose to remain with his two hundred orphans who eventually perished with him in the gas chambers. Indeed, to the orphans in Korczak's care, he was a caring and devoted prophet.
This offering from Shire, who is vice-principal of the Leo Baeck College in London, will be a most important addition to the Jewish classroom. Under a new light, students will be re-introduced to many of the significant figures in Jewish history whom they have been studying like Samuel, Micah, Hillel, Yochanan Ben Zakkai and Akiva. They will also encounter the fresh words and visions of such notable prophets as Bachya Ibn Pakuda, Baruch Spinoza, Rav Kook, Henrietta Szold, and David Ben Gurion. We will come to appreciate these "prophets of our time" more after reading about their notable prophetic accomplishments, which are even more impressive considering the amount of adversity they faced.
This special book will quickly alter the belief of anyone who considers the concept of navi to have ended with the canonization of the Torah. The exploration through the lives of these thirty visionaries is testimony to the fact that the navi has walked in our time as well as the times of old. Heschel writes, "The prophet's word is a scream in the night. While the world is at ease and asleep, the prophet feels the blast from heaven." Dr. Shire invites us in to explore the wildly chaotic, yet intensely interesting life of the prophet. We might go into this exploration hoping to learn more about their lives, but we inevitably come out having learned more about our own lives.
