Setting out from the observation made in the social sciences that
maternal grief can at times be a motor of societal change,
Ekaterina E. Kozlova demonstrates that a similar mechanism operates
also in the biblical world. Kozlova argues that maternal grief is
treated as a model or archetype of grief in biblical and Ancient
Near Eastern literature. The work considers three narratives and
one poem that illustrate the transformative power of maternal grief
in the biblical presentation: Gen 21, Hagar and Ishmael in the
desert; 2 Sam 21: 1-14, Rizpah versus King David; 2 Sam 14, the
speech of the Tekoite woman; Jer 31: 15-22, Rachel weeping for her
children. Although only one of the texts literally refers to a
bereaved mother (2 Sam 21 on Rizpah), all four passages draw on the
motif of maternal grief, and all four stage some form of societal
transformation.
