About this book

In der Reihe Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fĂŒr die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) erscheinen Arbeiten zu sĂ€mtlichen Gebieten der alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft. Im Zentrum steht die HebrĂ€ische Bibel, ihr Vor- und Nachleben im antiken Judentum sowie ihre vielfache Verzweigung in die benachbarten Kulturen der altorientalischen und hellenistisch-römischen Welt.

Die BZAW akzeptiert ManuskriptvorschlĂ€ge, die einen innovativen und signifikanten Beitrag zu Erforschung des Alten Testaments und seiner Umwelt leisten, sich intensiv mit der bestehenden Forschungsliteratur auseinandersetzen, stringent aufgebaut und flĂŒssig geschrieben sind.
