  • 4 - The Afterlife of the Decalogue in the Postmonarchic Period

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 208-237

  • Summary

    Chapter 4 addresses the evolution of the Decalogue in light of the transposition of monumental texts onto small-scale artifacts like amulets and scrolls in the Levant, as well as the introduction of amulets and scrolls to depicted monumental assemblages in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. This transposition was particularly important to the Judean exiles, who had lost access to the monuments that inspired those small-scale productions.

  • 2 - The Decalogue in the Book of Exodus

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 76-139

  • Summary

    Chapter 2 focuses on the Decalogue as it appears in Exodus, focusing on a comparison to the corpus of texts discussed in Chapter 1. This chapter argues that the discourse of the Decalogue in Exodus is most consonant with the monumental discourse of the ninth- and eighth-century Levant, so, using that discourse as a model, that period is when the Decalogue was most likely composed.

  • 1 - Levantine “I Am” Monuments

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 21-75

  • Summary

    Chapter 1 presents a history of monuments to act as a historical backdrop for analyzing the Decalogue’s composition and redaction in light of its monumentality. Three case studies are presented to illustrate the standard discourse of Levantine monuments at different periods in the Iron Age.

  • Introduction

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 1-20

  • Summary

    The introduction raises questions about why a text’s material and context are so important to determining its meaning. It also defines a monument as an artifact that is used by a community to make meaning and suggests that monumental texts communicate through their words, their physical media, and the ways communities engage them.

  • 3 - The Decalogue in the Book of Deuteronomy

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 140-207

  • Summary

    Chapter 3 focuses on the Decalogue in Deuteronomy, continuing the comparative study of the previous chapter but expanding that comparison to include major monument types from the seventh century. Drawing upon both material culture and innerbiblical exegesis, this chapter argues that the Decalogue was initially edited to better match the Levantine monuments of the seventh century, but that it also adapted the monumental discourse of Mesopotamian monuments from the same period.

  • Conclusion

  • Timothy S. Hogue, University of Pennsylvania
  • Book:
    The Ten Commandments
    Published online:
    20 September 2023
    Print publication:
    28 September 2023, pp 238-247

  • Summary

    The conclusion reviews the history of monuments and history of the Decalogue’s monumentality presented in the previous chapters. It argues that the Decalogue’s authority ultimately derived from its monumentality, and that these early monumental engagements set the precedent for subsequent interpretive traditions.
