| Summary: | The hymn found in 1 Chronicles 16:8-36 contains portions of Psalms 105:1-15; 96:1--13; and 106:47-48. Since the hymn occurs in a context which focuses upon placing the Ark of the Covenant on Mt. Zion, it is noteworthy that the verses from Pss. 105 and 106 say nothing about the Exodus, since the other verses of these two Pss. are heavy in the Exodus tradition, the primary location of the Ark narrative in the Pentateuch. Is it possible that these Pss. were known only in part or that portions were known to other writers? This article focuses on the similarities that exist between Ps. 105:16-45 and the Wisdom of Solomon. While the similarities do not prove that Ps. 105 directly influenced Pseudo-Solomon's work, they are provoking enough to lead to that possible conclusion. |
