Yahweh´s Winged Form in the Psalms: Exploring Congruent Iconography and Texts (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis - Volume 242) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The striking image of the winged Yahweh occurs in six psalms (e. g., Ps 17:8 Hide me in the shadow of your wings). Scholars have disagreed on the background, meaning, and significance of the image, arguing that it: likens the Israelite deity to a bird; alludes to the winged sun disk; draws from general Egyptian symbolism for protection; evokes images of winged goddesses; or refers to winged cherubim in the temple and/or on the ark of the covenant. These divergent proposals signal a need for clearer methods of interpreting biblical imagery in light of visual-artistic material from the ancient Near East. This volume refines iconographic methodologies by treating the image of the winged Yahweh as one among a constellation of literary images in each psalm. Since the portrayals of Yahweh in each psalm have distinct contours, one finds several congruencies in Syro-Palestinian iconographic material. The congruent iconographic motifs for Yahweh's winged form include: the winged sun disk (in multiple forms and variations), the Horus falcon, winged suckling goddesses, and winged deities in combat. No single image stands behind the portrayals of Yahweh. In fact, even within a single psalm, more than one iconographic trope can provide congruency with the literary imagery and inform the interpretation of the text. Thus, the winged Yahweh in the "Psalms" provides an example of a 'multistable' literary image, one which simultaneously evokes multiple iconographical motifs.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The impressive image of the winged Yahweh is encountered in six psalms. The scholars argue about the background and the meaning of the picture with the arguments that it 1. compares the Israelite deity to a bird, 2. points to the winged sun disk, 3. uses Egyptian symbols for protection, 4. the picture of winged ones Goddesses conjured up or 5th to the winged cherubim in the temple or on the ark. These various arguments illustrate the need for a clearer way to interpret biblical images in the context of Middle Eastern art. This volume further develops the iconographic methods by looking at the image of the winged Yahweh in the middle of the literary images of a psalm. Various overlaps with Syro-Palestinian iconographic material can be discovered. These overlaps include: 1) the winged sun disk, 2) the Horus falcon, 3) winged suckling goddesses, 4) winged deities in battle. There is not a single idea behind the picture of the winged Yahweh. The winged Yahweh is an excellent example of a multi-layered literary image that is reminiscent of several iconographic motifs. The striking image of the winged Yahweh occurs in six psalms. This volume refines iconographic methodologies by treating the image of the winged Yahweh as one among a constellation of literary images in each psalm.
