摘要
我虽然行过死荫的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因为你与我同在;你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。(诗23:4)希伯来圣经名篇《诗篇》第23首巧妙地营造出蒙神保护、尽享平安的喜乐意境,而第4节中,诗人更是将杖(竿)直接视为安慰与得救的象征,笔者认为这并非是孤证。通观希伯来圣经可以发现,"杖"这一意象在原文中具有丰富的文本形态.
In the Hebrew Bible,the word"rod"possesses abundant morphologic forms,which are utilized in particular textual contexts,and show the diversity of different semantic and anthropological origins of the word.Grounded in the Masoretic text,the essay begins by offering a detailed morphologic survey of the word rod in the Hebrew Bible,with an analysis of the possible practical functions of the rod in ancient Israelite and Ancient Near East history.With this background,the essay discusses how rod became a symbol of the tribe,of justice,and of deliverance in ancient Israelite understanding,and explores the symbolic meanings of the image of the"rod"given by the Hebrew bible compilers.Finally,the relationship between"rod"and cultural memories of ancient Israelite nomad life is analysed through textual and historical analysis of the Mosaic and prophetic narratives.The conclusion is reached that the word rod in Hebrew Bible serves not only as a significant literary Leitwort,but also as the key indicator of the nomadic memories of the Israelite people.
