This monograph is a comparative, socio-linguistic reassessment of
the Deuteronomic idiom, leshakken shemo sham, and its synonymous
biblical reflexes in the Deuteronomistic History, lashum shemo
sham, and lihyot shemo sham. These particular formulae have long
been understood as evidence of the Name Theology - the evolution in
Israelite religion toward a more abstracted mode of divine presence
in the temple. Utilizing epigraphic material gathered from
Mesopotamian and Levantine contexts, this study demonstrates that
leshakken shemo sham and lashum shemo sham are loan-adaptations of
Akkadian shuma shakanu, an idiom common to the royal monumental
tradition of Mesopotamia. The resulting retranslation and
reinterpretation of the biblical idiom profoundly impacts the
classic formulation of the Name Theology.
