This volume discusses the Hebrew term 'eres' which is prominently
used in Creation and Land theologies in the Bible. Uemura examines
whether the term signifies the 'earth' or the 'Land' and traces the
historical development of its uses in relation to these two
meanings. He offers a survey of all of the occurrences of this
term, categorizes them, and discusses the problematic instances in
all of the surviving Hebrew and Aramaic texts. Uemura's examination
begins with an analysis of the terms under discussion literally and
stylistically in order to discern the semantic field of each term,
as well as to determine its stylistic idiomatic uses. He discusses
the uses of these two terms in ancient non-Jewish circumstances
using materials taken from Phoenician, New Punic, Moabite and
Aramaic inscriptions, as well as from an Aramaic papyri from Egypt
and Nabataean papyri from Nahal Hever. The aim of this study is to
show a cultural background of uses of these terms and Uemura sheds
light on the biblical worldview in the Graeco-Roman period.
