Proverbs. Volume 2 / Proverbs 10-15
Based on the view that Proverbs 1-9 constitutes an introduction to the collections of sayings that follow in the rest of the book, this volume comments on the sub-section in Proverbs 10-15. It proceeds from the standpoint that the individual proverbs are self-contained units but that they have not been lumped together randomly. Occasionally edited proverb-clusters are identified and commented upon. The primary interest remains the individual proverb, but where clusters are identified, these are taken seriously. The openness of proverbs for different readings in different situations and its implications for the role of readers receive careful consideration. Attention is paid to grammatical and stylistic features, including the rhythmic organisation, as well as ANE parallels and the versions. In line with the policy of HCOT, the reception of each proverb in the rabbinic, patristic and occasionally in early Reformation traditions is sketched.
