{"product_id":"interpretations-of-the-name","title":"Interpretations of the Name","description":"\u003cp\u003eAncient peoples regarded names as indicative of character and destiny. The Jews were no exception. This is a critical study of ancient exegesis of the title `Israel' and the meanings attributed to it among Jews down to Talmudic times, along with some early Christian materials. C. T. R. Hayward explores ancient etymologies of `Israel', and the utilization of these very varied explanations of the name in sustained works of exegesis like Jubilees; the writings of Ben\n\u003cbr\u003eSira, Philo, and Josephus; and selected Rabbinic texts including Aramaic Targumim. He also examines translational works like the Septuagint, to illuminate those writings' sense of what it meant to be a\n\u003cbr\u003eJew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44059074625774,"sku":"9780199242375","price":478.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199242375.jpg?v=1706227347","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/interpretations-of-the-name","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
