Synopsis

This volume contains the Proceedings of the 18th Joint Meeting of the Society for Old Testament Study (SOTS) and the Oudtestamentisch Werkgezelschap in Nederland en België (OTW) in the summer of 2022 in Nottingham. The ten contributions are prefaced by an editorial Introduction (Hempel, Ausloos) followed by studies on Hebrew Semantics (Raymond de Hoop, Paul Sanders, Ellen van Wolde), the Pentateuch (Gert Kwakkel, Jan-Wim Wesselius, Philip Yoo), exilic and post-exilic historiography (Carly Crouch, Michaël van der Meer) and two chapters that draw on Sumerian poetry and gender-based violence in contemporary South Africa, respectively, to illuminate biblical narratives in Judges and 1-2 Samuel (Ekaterina E. Kozlova, Nozipho Princess S. Dlodlo).
