| Summary: | Through a recognition of the allusions Isaiah makes to earlier Biblical texts, this paper demonstrates that Isa 66:1 does not condemn the Temple, rather hints that, if it is to be a place of rest for God, the worshippers must keep his covenant. Isa 66:2 indicates a person who places their whole trust in God, who may be suffering because of it, but will be justified ultimately. The people in Isa 66:3 are the opposite. When the purpose of each sacrifice is considered, the four statements of the MT and 1QIsab, can be understood as a condemnation of hypocrisy, not sacrifice. The future for wrong doers is outlined in Isa 66:4. In sum, Isa 66:1-4 outlines the attitude and behaviour that God requires/ does not require from his worshipping community. Par ses allusions à d'autres textes bibliques, on s'aperçoit qu'Is 66, 1-4 ne condamne pas le temple. Ce dernier, s'il doit être le lieu de la présence de Dieu, implique que les fidèles gardent son alliance. Is 66, 2 désigne quelqu'un qui place toute sa confiance en Dieu, et qui pourrait en souffrir, mais sera finalement justifié. Les gens de Is 66, 3 sont l'opposé. En considérant le but de chaque sacrifice, les quatre affirmations du TM et de 1QIsab, peuvent être comprises comme une condamnation de l'hypocrisie, et non du sacrifice. L'avenir de ceux qui font le mal est souligné en Is 66, 4. En résumé, Is 66, 1-4 souligne l'attitude et le comportement que Dieu exige ou récuse de la communauté de ses fidèles. |
