142 JOEL

age, when Yahweh will really dwell in Zion. Then it will be im-
possible for the country toward the S. and E. of Jerusalem to be
dry and barren, and the Holy City itself without abundance of
water. It was an ancient belief that wonderful fertility marked
the dwelling-place of a deity. Our author took the special form
of this thought from Ezekiel. But he appears to have modified it
in one particular, if, as seems probable, the Wady of Shittim is cor-
rectly identified with the Wady es Sant. Then the river will not
flow toward the E. into the Dead Sea, as in Ezekiel, but toward the
W. into the Mediterranean through the Wady es Sant which is the
direct route from Jerusalem to Gath and Ashkelon. This identi-
fication, first suggested by We., is made probable not only by the
identity of the names but also by the fact that in Zc. 14^ the stream
flows both toward the E. and the W., into the Dead Sea and the
Mediterranean respectively. Zc. 14 who follows here tradition
may have combined the conception of Ezekiel with that of Jo. 4.
We had reason to believe that Zc. 14 showed the influence of Jo. 4
in the location of the final judgment. — The Wady of Shittim has
often been connected with the Meadow of Shittim, Nu. 33" (also
called simply SJiitlivi, Jos. 2^ 3' Mi. 6''), which is situated in Moab
beyond the Jordan and forms a part of the Ghdr or Jordan valley.
But not only the designation Wady is opposed to this but also
the consideration that the stream would hardly be thought of as
crossing the Jordan. In view of these diflaculties the identifica-
tion with the Wady of the Kidron, through which Ezekiel's river
flowed, seemed to commend itself. But what could be the reason
for this name which is nowhere else given to the Wady of the Kid-
ron ? It has been thought that the name signified an arid Wady be-
cause acacias, as Jerome had already noted, grow in dry soil. But
while this is doubtless true, the name Meadow of A cacias argues
against it as the usual connotation. E. H. Palmer, Sinai, p. 39,
observed that the seydl, one of the many kinds of acacias, is "less
dependent on moisture than the palm, though certainly its finest
specimens are found near springs." — 19. In sharp contrast to
Judah's wonderful fertility Egypt and Edom will be waste. The
dark fate of these countries can only be mentioned as a foil to
heighten the glory of Judah's fate. Egypt and Edom must have



4'«' '' (en-gl. 3^"- ^0 143

been included among the nations in the valley of Jehoshaphat. But
almost any postexilic Jew would find added joy in the contempla-
tion of Edom's ruin. Egypt may have been specially mentioned
because the desolation of the usually so well watered and irrigated
country brought out the full wonder of Judah's fertility. But it is
also possible that the clause concerning Egypt is not original.
The grammatical inelegance of v. ^^"â– j which must be remedied in
any case, would favour this. We might think of a reader who
added the clause, say after Ptolemy Lagi had invaded Palestine in
320 B.C. — A special reason for Edom's fate is given. That it does
not refer to the Egyptians also is indicated by the phrase on account
of the violence done to the Judeans which reminds one strongly of
Obadiah (v. ^") from whom the editor quoted also in v. ". And
just as he commented there on the Obadian phrase, so also here
by adding because they shed innocent blood in their land. This re-
fers to 586 B.C., cf. Ob. " Ez. 35\ Their land is, of course, the land
of the Judeans, others think it is Egj-pt and Edom and interpret
the clause of massacres of Jews in Egypt and Edom of which we
have no further knowledge. That the killing was not done in battle
is clear from the term they sited innocent blood, which implies
murder. Perhaps by murdering them stood in the orig. text instead
of in their land. With the last clause of v. ^^ the first of v. ^^ is
closely connected. — 21a. And I will avenge their blood (which) I
have not (yet) avenged. This reading, based on (^ ^, is superior to
iH's, And I will hold as innocent (RVm.) their blood which I have
not held as innocent. The writer did not think that the Edomites
had been sufl&ciently punished for their brutal behaviour toward
Judah and he expected therefore their punishment in the near
future. It is evident that a sentence like this has no real place
after vv. ^ *^-. It stood originally directly after v. ^'^^. It is a part
of a direct speech of Yahweh which is introduced suddenly and un-
expectedly in the editor's manner, cf. 2" 4*^ Perhaps w. ^°^- ^^
are still later additions. — 20. But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
lit. dwell, the Heb. idiom for a flourishing city or country, cf. Is.
13^° Je. 17^- ^ Zc. 9'^ 12", And Jerusalem for generations and gen-
erations. — 21b. And Yahweh {shall be) dwelling in Zion, cf. 2"
4*^. Yahweh's abiding presence is the basis and guarantee of
Judah's happiness and permanent security.

Numbers. By the Rev. G. Buchanan Gray, D.D., Professor of Hebrew,

Mansfield College, Oxford.

" Most Bible readers have the impression that ' Numbers ' is a dull
book only relieved by the brilliancy of the Balaam chapters and some
snatches of old Hebrew songs, but, as Prof. Gray shows with admirable
skill and insight, its historical and religious value is not that which lies
on the surface. Prof. Gray's Commentary is distinguished by fine
scholarship and sanity of judgment; it is impossible to commend it too
warmly."— Saturday Review (London).

Deuteronomy. By the Rev. S. R. driver, D.D., D.Litt., Regius
Professor of Hebrew, and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford.

" It is a pleasure to see at last a really critical Old Testament com-
mentary in English upon a portion of the Pentateuch, and especially
one of such merit. This I find superior to any other Commentary in
any language upon Deuteronomy."

Judges. By Rev. George Foot Moore, D.D., LL.D., Professor of

Theology in Harvard University.

" The work is done in an atmosphere of scholarly interest and in-
difference to dogmatism and controversy, which is at least refreshing,
r . . It is a noble introduction to the moral forces, ideas and influences
that controlled the period of the Judges, and a model of what a
historical commentary, with a practical end in view, should be."

" Christian scholarship seems here to have reached the highest level yet

Proverbs. By the Rev. Crawford H. Toy, D.D., LL.D., Professor of
Hebrew in Harvard University.

" This volume has the same characteristics of thoroughness and pains-
taking scholarship as the preceding issues of the series. In the critical
treatment of the text, in noting the various readings and the force of
the words in the original Hebrew, it leaves nothing to be desired.

Amos and Rosea. By William Rainey Harper, Ph.D., LL.D.,
late Professor of Semitic Languages and Literature and President of the
University of Chicago.

" He has gone, with characteristic minuteness, not only into the analysis
and discussion of each point, endeavoring in every case to be thoroughly
exhaustive, but also into the history of exegesis and discussion. Nothing
at all worthy of consideration has been passed by. The consequence is
that when one carefully studies what has been brought together in this
volume, either upon some passage of the two prophets treated, or upon
some question of critical or antiquarian importance in the introductory
portion of the volume, one feels that he has obtained an adequately
exhaustive view of the subject." — The Interior.

Esther. By L. B. Paton, Ph.D., Professor of Hebrew, Hartford

This scholarly and critical commentary on the Book of Esther presents
in full the remarkable additions to the Massoretic text and the varia-
tions in the various versions beginning with the Greek translation and
continuing through the Vulgate and Peshitto down to the Talmud and
Targums. These are not given in full in any other commentary, yet
they are very important both for the history of the text and the history
of the exegesis.

" It is a relief to find a commentator on Ecclesiastes who is not en-

Commentary series, treats the book in a scholarly and sensible fashion,
presenting the conclusions of earlier scholars together with the author's
own, and providing thus all the information that any student needs."

St. Matthew. By the Rev. Willoughby C. Allen, M.A., Fellow

"As a microscopic and practically exhaustive study and itemized state-
ment of the probable or possible sources of the Synoptic Gospels and
of their relations, one to another, this work has i.ct been surpassed.
I doubt if it has been equaled. And the author is not by any means

" We do not hesitate to commend this as the best commentary on Romans
yet written in English. It will do much to popularize this admirable

Theological Library



EDITORS' PREFACE

THEOLOGY has made great and rapid advances
in recent years. New lines of investigation have
been opened up, fresh light has been cast upon
many subjects of the deepest interest, and the historical
method has been applied with important results. This
has prepared the way for a Library of Theological
Science, and has created the demand for it. It has also
made it at once opportune and practicable now to se-
cure the services of specialists in the different depart-
ments of Theology, and to associate them in an enter-
prise which will furnish a record of Theological
inquiry up to date.

This Library is designed to cover the whole field of
Christian Theology. Each volume is to be complete
in itself, while, at the same time, it will form part of a
carefully planned whole. One of the Editors is to pre-
pare a volume of Theological Encyclopasdia which will
give the history and literature of each department, as
well as of Theology as a whole.



The International Theological Library



The Library is intended to iorm a series of Text
Books for Students of Theology.

The Authors, therefore, aim at conciseness and com-
pactness of statement. At the same time, they have in
view that large and increasing class of students, in other
departments of inquiry, who desire to have a systematic
and thorough exposition of Theological Science. Tech-
nical matters will therefore be thrown into the form of
notes, and the text will be made as readable and attract-
ive as possible.

The Library is international and interconfessional. It
will be conducted in a catholic spirit, and in the
interests of Theology as a science.

Its aim will be to give full and impartial statements
both of the results of Theological Science and of 'he
questions which are still at issue in the different
departments.

The Authors will be scholars of recognized reputation
in the several branches of study assigned to them. They
will be associated with each other and with the Editors
in the effort to provide a series of volumes which may
adequately represent the present condition of investi-
gation, and indicate the way for further progress.
