    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    In dieser Studie untersucht Lenin Prado, wie die priesterliche Plagenerzählung die jahwistische Version revidiert. Er beleuchtet wichtige Unterschiede und Spannungen zwischen beiden Fassungen und zeigt, wie die priesterliche Erzählung mittels literarischer Techniken eine Gegenerzählung schuf, die die jahwistische Version ersetzen sollte. In this study, Lenin Prado explores how the Priestly version of the plagues in Egypt revises the Yahwistic account. He shows how the Priestly narrative uses literary techniques to create a counternarrative that aims to replace the Yahwistic version, revealing key differences and tensions between the two stories.

    Long description:

    Lenin Prado untersucht anhand der ägyptischen Plagen (Ex 7-11) und der Berufung des Mose (Ex 3-4) die Beziehung zwischen priesterlichen und jahwistischen Erzählungen im Pentateuch. Er argumentiert, dass die Priesterschrift (P) von seinem jahwistischen Gegenstück (J) abhängig ist und durch verschiedene literarische Techniken den Plagezyklus von J so umformt, dass er mit der eigenen theologischen und ideologischen Agenda übereinstimmt. Mit seiner Studie versucht er zu zeigen, dass die Überarbeitungen nicht einfach Ergänzungen darstellen, sondern darauf abzielten, P als eigenständige Quelle mit einem eigenen Erzählstrang zu etablieren. Die Beweggründe hierfür sind in dem Anliegen der priesterlichen Gemeinschaft zu suchen, die Geschichte des Exodus Israels umzuschreiben, um die eigene theologische Agenda zu unterstützen und die eigene Version der heiligen Geschichte Israels im Gegensatz zur jahwistischen Darstellung zu festigen. In this work, Lenin Prado examines the relationship between the Priestly (P) and Yahwistic (J) narratives in the Pentateuch, focusing on the plagues of Egypt (Exod 7-11) and Moses' call (Exod 3-4). He argues that the Priestly document is dependent on and revises its Yahwistic counterpart. Through various literary techniques, P reshapes J's plague cycle to align with its own theological and ideological agenda. The author demonstrates that P's revisions were not merely supplementary but aimed to establish P as an independent source with a distinct narrative trajectory. He also explores the motivations behind this textual interaction, showing how P sought to rewrite the history of Israel's exodus to support its own theological concerns and to solidify its version of Israel's sacred history in contrast to J's portrayal, reflecting the Priestly community's concerns.
