In contrast to previous scholarship which has approached loanwords
from etymological and lexicographic perspectives, Jonathan
Thambyrajah considers them not only as data but as rhetorical
elements of the literary texts of which they are a part. In the
book, he explains why certain biblical texts strongly prefer to use
loanwords whereas others have few. In order to explore this, he
studies the loanwords of Esther, Daniel, Ezra and Exodus,
considering their impact on audiences and readers. He also analyzes
and evaluates the many proposed loan hypotheses in Biblical Hebrew
and proposes further or different hypotheses. Loanwords have the
potential to carry associations with its culture of origin, and as
such are ideal rhetorical tools for shaping a text's audience's
view of the nations around them and their own nation. Thambyrajah
also focuses on this phenomenon, looking at the court tales in
Esther and Daniel, the correspondence in the Hebrew and Aramaic
sections of Ezra 1-7, and the accounts of building the tabernacle
in Exodus, and paying close attention to how these texts present
ethnicity.
