The premise upon which this thesis is founded is that the book of Qohelet is fundamentally ambiguous. Ambiguity is attached to all its major themes, and can be discerned in its language, syntax and structure. This has not been given due attention in previous works on Qohelet. The introduction considers the concepts of 'ambiguity' and 'meaning': it is crucial for the reader to understand what is meant in this thesis by these terms. 'Ambiguity' is understood as those aspects of the text whose indeterminacy requires the reader to fill in 'meaning' in order for a coherent reading to be produced: thus the reader's role is crucial, but is nonetheless restricted by the determinate schemata in the text. Part 1 explores the determinate schemata in Qohelet in an attempt to provide objective criteria against which the ambiguities may be set. Detailed attention is paid to the text in order to discern trends and patterns in the book. These are employed in an attempt to discover how the book as a whole and the sections within it are structured. Part 1 ends by asserting that it is ultimately futile to seek an overall structure or pattern to the book: this is an aspect of its ambiguity. Part 2 systematically examines linguistic and syntactical ambiguities in Qohelet, exploring the possibilities for interpretation according to the ways in which the reader fills in the gaps left by these ambiguities. The conclusion argues that the ambiguity of Qohelet is the primary reason for the hugely diverse interpretations of the book throughout its history, and for the many varied proposals for its structure. In this way it is a realistic reflection of an ambiguous world and the relationship between the people of this world and the God who made the world with all its ambiguities.

This thesis is an unconventional history of the interpretation of Day One, Genesis 1.1-5, in Hebrew and Greek texts up to c. 200 CE. Using the concept of ‘intertextuality’ as developed by Kristeva, Derrida, and others, the method for this historical exploration looks at the dynamic interconnectedness of texts. The results reach beyond deliberate exegetical and eisegetical interpretations of Day One to include intertextual, and therefore not necessarily deliberate, connections between texts. The purpose of the study is to gain a glimpse into the textual possibilities available to the ancient reader / interpreter. Central to the method employed is the identification of the intertexts of Day One. This is achieved, at least in part, by identifying and tracing flags that may draw the reader from one text to another. In this study these flags are called ‘intertextual markers’ and may be individual words, word-pairs, or small phrases that occur relatively infrequently within the corpus of texts being examined. The thesis first explores the intertextuality of Genesis 1.1-5 in the confines of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint. The second half of the thesis identifies and explores the intertexts of Day One in other Hebrew texts (e.g. the Dead Sea Scrolls, Sirach) and other Greek texts (e.g. Philo, the New Testament) up to c. 200 CE. The thesis concludes with a summation of some of the more prominent and surprising threads in this intertextual ‘tapestry’ of Day One. These summary threads include observations within the texts in a given language and a comparative look at the role of language in the intertextual history of Day One.

Cette these presente une etude du livre appele "deuxieme esdras" par la plupart des manuscrits de la septante, c'est-a-dire de la traduction grecque antique des livres connus sous le noms d'esdras et de nehemie dans la bible hebraique. Elle comprend un introduction, une traduction francaise annotee du texte grec et des annexes ; ces derniers donnent un texte critique de la recension dite lucianique, un index hebreu-grec, et un index grec-hebreu de esdras. L'introduction commence par une etude du titre, du contenu et de la composition de ce libre, dont le resultat majeur est la redecouverte et la mise en valeur d'un systeme de division du texte qui figure dans plusieurs manuscrits grecs et qui a des chances de remonter a l'antiquite, sinon d'avoir ete celui qu'employait le traducteur lui-meme. Ensuite, une etude des problemes textuels poses par ce livre aboutit a l'identification d'un nouveau temoin du texte grec (la table des incipit du coisl. 8 de la bibliotheque nationale de paris) et a une reevaluation de l'importance de la recension dite lucianique. Une etude de la langue du traducteur permet d'identifier ce dernier comme un precurseur du "groupe kaige" et de le dater entre le milieu du deuxieme et le milieu du premier siecle avant notre ere. Enfin une etude de la reception du livre montre que, meme si les auteurs juifs et chretiens de l'antiquite dont les ecrits nous sont parvenus ne le citent que rarement, le texte de esdras a ete lu et etudie dans certains milieux des l'antiquite et a joue un role appreciable dans l'histoire de l'exegese et de la theologie du christianisme naissant
This thesis presents a study of the book which is called "second esdras" by most manuscripts of the septuagint and which corresponds to the books of ezra and nehemiah in the hebrew bible. It comprises an introduction, an annotated french translation of the greek text and three annexes; these contain a critical text of the so-called "lucianic" recension, a hebrew-greek index and a greek-hebrew index of 2esdras. The introduction begins with a study of the title, the contents and the composition of the book ; the major result of this study is the rediscovery of a system of paragraphs which may well be ancient, even if it is probably not the one used by the translator himself. Next may well be the textual problems of the book results, among other things, in the identification of a new witness to the greek text (namely the ms. Coisl. 8 of the bibliotheque nationale de paris) and to assign him a date between the middle of the second and the middle of the first centuries b. C. Finally, a study of the reception of the book shows that, even though it was rarely quoted by the jewish and christian authors of antiquity, it was nevertheless read and studied in certain circles and played a considerable role in the history of the exegesis and the theology of early christianity

Resumo: Esta tese tem como objetivo principal o estudo do narrador no evangelho de Mateus e de sua relação com o protagonista ¿ Jesus Cristo. Central em todo o trabalho é a constatação de que o narrador configura o texto de modo a produzir nos leitores a consciência de que a narrativa se refere não apenas a um personagem da história passada, mas a Jesus Cristo vivo. Este exerce a função de orientar a compreensão do texto. Para tanto, o narrador coloca-se em segundo plano e desenvolve técnicas para que o personagem principal ocupe espaço de proeminência. A minimização da presença do narrador, antes de se transformar em debilidade textual, produz abertura do texto ao leitor. Desse modo, as estratégias estabelecidas visam atrair o leitor para que participe da trama. Para chegar a tais conclusões, o trabalho discute variadas formas interpretativas pela quais o evangelho de Mateus é estudado na atualidade. Define o gênero literário ao qual pertence o evangelho como biografia greco-romana. Identifica o narrador, seu foco narrativo e a forma como organiza o evangelho em blocos narrativos e discursivos a partir da fonte principal, o evangelho de Marcos. Por fim, explicita estratégias literárias através da comparação exaustiva entre textos de Mateus e Marcos, demonstrando como elas apontam para propósitos retóricos específicos que o narrador deseja gerar nos leitores. O canal de discussão com biblistas esteve aberto, em alguns momentos utilizando interpretações e pontos de vistas, e em outros discordando de suas colocações. A principal delas diz respeito à declaração de que o evangelho apresenta um caráter catequético e desprovido de brilho. Em oposição, afirma-se que o evangelho de Mateus possui estratégias narrativas que o tornam extremamente persuasivo aos leitores. Torna-se claro que a desconsideração dos elementos de análise descritos no trabalho produz conseqüências nocivas à interpretação do texto bíblico
Abstract: The main goal of this thesis is the study of the narrator of the Gospel of Matthew and its relationship with its main character ¿ Jesus Christ. In the very heart of the dissertation is the observation that the narrator works his text in order to produce in the readers the consciousness that the narrative has to do with the living Jesus Christ, who plays the role of guiding the understanding the text, and not only with a mere character of a past history. To do so, the narrator put himself in a secondary place, and develops some mechanisms so that the main character may occupy a prominent role. The downsizing of the narrator is not a textual frailty. Rather, it produces an opening of the text to the reader. Thus, these strategies aim to attract the reader to participate in the plot. In order to reach these conclusions, the dissertation discusses several contemporary ways the Gospel of Matthew is interpreted at this moment. It also defines the literary genre of the Gospel as a Greek-Roman biography. Besides, it identifies the narrator, its narrative focus and how he organizes the gospel in discursive and narrative blocks from its main source, viz., the Gospel of Mark. As an ending, the dissertation explains the literary strategies through an exhaustive comparison between the texts of Matthew and Mark, giving evidence of how they point to specific rhetoric purposes the narrator wish to generate in the readers. There was an open channel of discussion with Bible scholars, sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing with them. The main point of disagreement was related to the statement that the Gospel has a catechetical purpose and is deprived of brilliance. Arguing against this, it is stated that the Gospel of Matthew has narrative strategies that make it extremely persuasive to its readers. It is quite clear that the disrespect of the elements of analysis described in the dissertation produces harmful consequences to the interpretation of the biblical text

Law in the Hebrew Bible undergoes a paradigm shift: Laws that are restricted to civil society are now regulated by officially religious Laws. This analysis seeks to understand a casuistic Law that addresses the situation of a pregnant woman, because there is the risk of miscarriage if he would hit her by during the fight, as penalty will be imposed the Law of Talion. Through exegetical, historical, theological and social analysis; Beginning with the translation of the Hebrew text, a legal understanding of Exodus 21: 22-25 will be sought from the perspective of the pregnant woman. From the analysis comes a brief understanding of the civil and religious law in today's society of Brazil and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. In despite of the laws seek to protect the pregnant woman, it is not full protection yet
O direito na Bíblia Hebraica passa por uma mudança paradigmática: Leis que são restritas à sociedade civil passam a ser reguladas a partir de Leis oficialmente religiosas. Nessa análise se busca compreender uma Lei casuística que aborda a situação de uma mulher grávida, pois corre o risco de perder suas crianças caso seja atingida por movimentos consequentes de uma briga de homens, como penalização será imposta a Lei de Talião. Através da análise exegética, histórica, teológica e social; a começar pela tradução do texto em hebraico, buscar-se-á emitir uma compreensão jurídica de Ex 21,22-25 na perspectiva da mulher grávida. A partir das análises chega-se a uma breve compreensão da Lei civil e religiosa na sociedade hodierna do Brasil e do Magistério da Igreja Católica. Se por um lado as Leis buscam proteger a mulher grávida, por outro, essa proteção é ainda fragmentada

Zipporah, Moses’ wife, is the object of study of this Master’s degree dissertation, a character that belongs to the exodus traditions. She participates in just four episodes in the macronarrative on exodus (Ex 2:15-22; 4:18-20.24-26; 18:1-7). Therefore, in the first sight the Midianite seems to have less matter, in the sense of she occupies a position of secondary figure. However, the biblical literature shows that the roles, in certain moment, can be inverted. Suddenly, the protagonism comes out, exactly, through the character that, in general, does not have a big visibility. In fact, Zipporah astonishes us in many ways: in literary terms she is in the center; historically, she may contradict eventual prejudices from her cultural context in question when she defends the life of those who are endangered in their surviving, without anyone questioning her freedom as a woman; theologically she is reflected as someone who gains the consent of God. Thus, Moses’ Midianite wife becomes a model for the protagonism of those characters that, in general, are evaluated as secondary figures, highlighting their fundamental importance for the history of salvation
Séfora, esposa de Moisés, é o objeto de estudo desta dissertação de mestrado, uma personagem pertencente às tradições do êxodo. Ela participa de apenas quatro episódios na macronarrativa sobre o êxodo (Ex 2,15c-22; 4,18-20.24-26; 18,1-7). No entanto, ainda que à primeira vista a madianita pareça ter uma importância menor, apenas ocupando o lugar de uma figura secundária, a literatura bíblica tem mostrado que os papéis, em determinado momento, podem inverter-se e, de repente, uma personagem sem maior visibilidade assume o protagonismo. Nesse sentido, Séfora surpreende em alguns aspectos: literariamente, ela ganha centralidade na cena em que salva seu noivo de sangue; historicamente, ela talvez contradiga eventuais preconceitos pertencentes a seu contexto cultural, ao defender a sobrevivência de quem se vê ameaçado e ao assumir protagonismo como mulher; teologicamente, ela é retratada como quem obtém o consentimento de Deus. Dessa forma, a esposa madianita de Moisés se torna um modelo para o protagonismo daquelas personagens que, em geral, são avaliadas como secundárias, destacando a fundamental importância delas para a história da salvação
