Old Testament and Oriental Studies

By Ja Soggin

The purpose of this book is to provide scholars who do not have sufficient reading knowledge of Italian with a series of studies first published in that language. The author presents only those studies which he considers still valid. The studies have not been updated, neither in the text not in the bibliography. They have their setting in the scientific context of their time. The book is divided into five parts. The first one is about literary, archaeological, and historical problems related to Israel's settlement in Canaan and to his kingship. The second deals with problems related to Israel's religion. The third is devoted to exegesis of biblical texts, and the fourth to observations on grammar, philology and lexicography. The work is concluded by a section of short notes on emphatic Lamed and other questions.
