History of the Bible

  • BIB001 Les textes fondateurs de la Bible

    L'article traite de la rédaction des cinq premiers livres de la Bible. Il met en lumière la transmission orale, l'écriture et l'intégration de diverses sources littéraires. L'importance de la préservation textuelle à travers les siècles est également abordée, tout comme les motivations historiques des rédacteurs.

    Exodus 13.8 (King James Version) :
    And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

Historical notes

  • INF042 La source Élohiste

    La source Élohiste (E) est l'une des quatre sources hypothétiques de la Torah selon l'hypothèse documentaire. Elle se distingue par l'usage du terme Elohim pour désigner Dieu, une théologie transcendante, et le recours aux rêves et visions comme modes de révélation divine. Datée du IXe-VIIIe siècle avant notre ère, elle serait issue du royaume du Nord d'Israël. Sa validité reste débattue parmi les chercheurs contemporains.

    Genesis 28.10-22 (King James Version) :
    And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.NoteHaran: Gr. CharranNotespread…: Heb. break forthAnd he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.NoteBeth-el: that is, The house of GodAnd he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
