| Zusammenfassung: | In recent years there has been a growing awareness that unit delimitation in biblical texts is often done without any sound 'objective' criteria in mind. Unit delimitation is understood quite broadly, ranging from the identification of the smallest units (cola) to pericopes and broader structural markers in biblical books. Delimitation criticism has been proposed as a tool to aid exegetes in the most basic of exegetical steps, namely determining the boundaries of units and texts. The basic premise of delimitation criticism is that the way texts were written and read in antiquity can provide modern exegetes with a valuable tool when units are delimitated. This paper uses these principles and applies it to a specific text, namely Psalms 114 and 115. These two psalms are written as a single poem in many ancient Hebrew manuscripts and the ancient versions. The implications for reading the psalms in this way are investigated by means of experimentally combining them into a single poem. |
