Publication › Kató Szabolcs Ferencz › 2021 › 77 › 1 › Pages: 1--7Weather imagery plays a major role in Hosea. Hosea 2 recalls the image of an unfaithful wife; Hosea 4:2–3 describes the withering of the land; in 6:3; 10:12; 14:6, the several types of precipitation draw attention to the utterance of YHWH or the requested righteousness; in 9:10.13.16; 10:1; 13:5; 14:6.8, Israel is symbolised by different plants that blossom and wither, depending on their relation to Yhwh. In all of these instances, weather phenomena contribute to these images. In this article, I try to catalogue and evaluate the metaphors and concepts to look at how meteorological images convey theological and historical messages, and vice versa how historical events or sociological procedures demonstrate their consequences in nature, especially in the weather. It seems that weather imagery is used to describe the consequences of idolatry, injustice and false politics.
Publication › Balogh Csaba › 2009 › 121 › 1 › Pages: 48--69This article argues that Isa 29,15-24 is composed of five coherent segments. The early Isaianic word, 29,15+21, was reinterpreted in a new way by an exilic author in 29,16-17+20. The presupposed blindness of Yhwh serving as a motivation for an ungodly life by those addressed in 29,15, is reconsidered as the ideology of desperate people who deem the blindness of Yhwh explains the present desolate condition of Jerusalem. The former injustice in Isaiah's society (29,21) is reinterpreted as the injustice of the foreign tyrant against the people of Yhwh. Isa 29,18+24 (the blindness of the people) and 29,19+23d-e (the oppressed Yhwh-fearing people) elaborate on the same theme in a larger context and presuppose a similar situation and author as implied by 29,16-17+21, probably to be identified with Deutero-Isaiah.
Thesis › Lőrincz Ágoston › 2015 › Pages: 72 › Supervisor: Balogh CsabaDolgozatom fő kérdése az, hogy mit ért Hóseás könyve Isten ismeretén. E fő kérdés megválaszolása rendjén, egy nagyobb ívű bevezetésben részletesebben is tárgyalom Hóseás könyvében az istenismeret tematika megjelenését. Pontosan, arra keresem a választ, hogy mit is jelent az, amikor Hóseás így nyilatkozik: „megismered az Urat” (Hós 2,19).
