The Camel and the Eye of the Needle. This paper examines Jesus’ challenging statement in the Gospels about the rich entering the Kingdom of God, likened to a camel through a needle’s eye. We explore variations in this saying across the Gospels and consider interpretations aided by literary parallels from Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic sources. These examples highlight the “eye of a needle” as a metaphor for impossibility, contrasted with a large object like a camel or elephant. While the presented examples are post-biblical, the motif’s roots may be older. Regardless of the original animal (camel, elephant, or rope), Jesus emphasises God’s power compared to human limitations. This explains the disciples’ astonishment and Jesus’ reply: human limitations exist, but “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27).

În Vechiul Testament, Regatul de Nord este adesea considerat o regiune vinova-tă în care poporul s-a îndepărtat de Dumnezeu. Cu toate acestea, este notabil faptul că în descrierea întemeierii cultului din 1 Împărați 12, zeul venerat nu este numit, ci doar definit prin faptul că el a fost responsabil de exod. Un alt aspect deosebit de important este că acest cult nu era centralizat, ci Ieroboam a ridicat altare pentru această divinitate în întreaga țară, inclusiv, foarte probabil, în capi-tală, Samaria, unde exista un templu pentru această divinitate. Bazându-ne pe faptul că exodul este atribuit în toate textele lui Iahve, zeul venerat în Israel nu poate fi altul decât Iahve. El era zeul național și dinastic, inclusiv în Regatul de Nord. Acest lucru este susținut de prezența elementului teoforic iahvist în majo-ritatea numelor regale. Cu toate acestea, cel mai probabil erau tolerate și alte zeități canaanite. De exemplu, regele Ahab a introdus altarul lui Baal în templul lui Iahve.

The “Why?” question emerges inevitably whenever a tragedy or trauma happens in our human lives. The case was hardly different in prehistoric times, in the Old Testament, or in Jesus’s era. It is an intriguing question therefore what Jesus’ attitude and approach would have been to such unexpected disasters.

Der Tempelweihspruch (I Reg 8,12–13) ist in einer längeren Version in der LXX (III Bas 8,53) überliefert. Wie verhalten sich die beiden Fassungen zueinander? Dieser Artikel argumentiert dafür, dass sowohl der MT als auch die LXX auf eine gemeinsame fehlerhafte Quelle zurückgehen, die der Herausgeber des MT dahingehend korrigierte, dass er Sätze des ursprünglichen Spruches wegließ, während der Übersetzer der LXX den Spruch möglichst wörtlich zu übersetzen versuchte. Dies wirft auch ein Licht auf die rätselhafte Aussage über die Sonne, die nach dieser Hypothese wie folgt gelautet haben dürfte: שֶמֶשׁ הוֹדִיעַ לָשֶבֶת בַשָמַיִם The temple dedication poem (1 Kgs 8,12–13) has a longer version in the LXX (III Bas 8,53) than the MT. How do the two versions relate to each other? This article argues that both the MT and the LXX go back to a common source containing scribal errors.

A minák, illetve talentumok példázata Istenről, illetve a mennyek országáról szól. De vajon ez kötelezően azt is jelenti, hogy Istenről is szól? Vajon a nemes ember, aki azt mondja magáról, hogy könyörtelen ember, mert behajtja azt is, amit nem fektetett be, és learatja azt is, amit nem vetett el, tényleg Istenre vonatkoztatandó allegorikusan? A példázatok jelenlegi kontextusát az evangéliumok eszkatologikus példázatai képezik, főként Máté evangéliuma esetében. De hogyan változik a példázatok olvasata, ha azokat az 1. század 30-as éveinek galileai paraszti társadalmának összefüggésében halljuk? Hát akkor, ha azokat Máté evangéliumának szegényekre és elnyomottakra néző anyagának kontextusában látjuk, ahol nem lehet egyszerre két urat szolgálni: mammont (pénzt) és Istent, profitot és Isten országát?
