Understanding a text from the narrator's point of view is crucial
for the tasks of interpreting and translating the Bible. In this
volume, Ethiopian scholar Daniel Hankore clarifi es the reading of
Scripture by studying it in the light of Ethiopian Hadiyya culture
and relevance theory, which facilitate Scriptural interpretation
and translation. Hankore's analysis recognises the text of the
Bible as a literary document or discourse while also considering
its cultural context. He demonstrates that a correct understanding
of the concept of the ancient Israelite vow in the framework of a
social institution is key to facilitating an accurate reading and
translation of this section of Genesis. The conclusion we can draw
from this understanding is that the narrative of Jacob is a
coherent whole. Furthermore the Dinah story is of vital importance
to the narrative, a fact which has frequently been overlooked as
has the connection between its different parts. Genesis 28:10-35:15
is revealed in a new light in this detailed study which focuses on
relevance theory informed by Ethiopian cultural context and
provides original theories about the place of the Dinah story in
the narrative of Jacob. Daniel Hankore is Bible Translation
Consultant at SIL Ethiopia Branch. 'This is a fresh and original
contribution to the interpretation of Genesis. It also contains a
full and thorough evaluation of more traditional, critical, and
historical approaches to the issues raised by Genesis 25-35. It
deserves to be taken most seriously by future scholars trying to
understand these chapters of Scripture.' Gordon Wenham, Tutor at
Trinity College, Bristol
