volgadon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This quote by Michael Fishbane is absolutely essential in gaining an understanding of the biblical tradition and its interpretation, especially considering BoM interpretation of the Bible and other sacred texts.Even in the language of the prophets, speaking under divine revelation, we can detect inner biblical exegesis. In Isaiah 29, the prophet is denouncing the people of Judah; they have been the object of his scorn throughout the preceding oracles and no new subject has been introduced. In Isaiah 29:9 Link to comment
