| Summary: | This paper deals with the character of the third chapter of the Book of Lamentations and attempts to indicate how this chapter draws from the Old Testament tradition to explain to its readers in a very simple fashion the effects the fall of Jerusalem brought upon them. It simply draws from well known material those images that could speak to the people of Judah in the best possible way. Examples are taken from the tradition and compared with the text of chapter 3 to illustrate how the writers of the Lamentations achieved this cross-referencing for their people. |
