| Summary: | The cycle of narratives about the ten signs sent to Pharaoh by the Lord, God of the Hebrews (Exod. 7:14–11:10; 12:29-36), in order for the king of Egypt to desist from his repressive policies and release the oppressed by him, brings an ecotheological reflection. It narrates how water, air, climatic phenomena, plants and animals transmit the word of God. The coexisting beings in the countryside seem to react and, with that, resist the oppressive power, also in the sense of no longer being available to those who insist on injustice. Consequently, only a careful reading of environmental catastrophes would allow, once again, a more peaceful existence. In view of this hypothesis, the aim of this investigation is to study the fifth sign, which contemplates the death of the cattle of the Egyptians. Attentive to the poetic configuration of the narrative in Exod. 9:1-7, the study focuses thematically on the relationship that the biblical narrative builds between the environmental catastrophe, the policy promoted by the pharaoh and the will of the Lord, God of the Hebrews. O ciclo das narrativas sobre os dez sinais enviados ao faraó pelo Senhor, Deus dos hebreus (Ex 7,14-11,10; 12,29-36), a fim de que o rei do Egito desistisse de suas políticas repressivas e soltasse os por ele oprimidos /as pessoas por ele oprimidas, traz uma reflexão ecoteológica. Narra-se como a água, o ar, fenômenos climáticos, vegetais e animais transmitem a palavra de Deus. Os seres coexistentes no campo parecem reagir e, com isso, resistir ao poder opressivo, também no sentido de não mais estarem à disposição de quem insiste na injustiça. Por consequência, somente uma leitura atenta às catástrofes ambientais permitiria, outra vez, uma existência mais tranquila. Em vista dessa hipótese, visa-se aqui ao estudo do quinto sinal, o qual contempla a morte do gado dos egípcios. Atento à configuração poética da narrativa em Ex 9,1-7, o estudo foca tematicamente a relação que a narrativa bíblica constrói entre a catástrofe ambiental, a política promovida pelo faraó e a vontade do Senhor, Deus dos hebreus. |
