Reshaping Jeremiah: Scribal strategies and the prophet like Moses
The prophet like Moses, announced in Deut. 18.15, is placed in a lineage of prophets and ends up as an announcer of Moses’ Torah (e.g. 2 Kgs. 17.13). Deut. 34.10-12 questions this idea by establishing Moses as the unsurpassable prophet. The view of the prophet like Moses as a link in a prophetic cha...

| Resumo: | The prophet like Moses, announced in Deut. 18.15, is placed in a lineage of prophets and ends up as an announcer of Moses’ Torah (e.g. 2 Kgs. 17.13). Deut. 34.10-12 questions this idea by establishing Moses as the unsurpassable prophet. The view of the prophet like Moses as a link in a prophetic chain changes accordingly. By means of three examples (Jer. 1.7cd.9d; 30.2; and 32.16-25), the article will show how the Book of Jeremiah develops the depiction of Jeremiah as the prophet like Moses in response to Deut. 34.10-12. The reshaping of Jeremiah can be ascribed to a scribal enterprise, aimed at creating a substitute for Moses, with the underlying aim of legitimising the promise of the new covenant (31.31-34). Unexpectedly, however, this text has been met with an underwhelming inner- and extra-biblical reception; the last paragraph will suggest a possible answer to what seems a curious paradox. |
