“…Yet some scholars have argued that David's Tent in Amos 9.11 should be understood as a reference to the temple in Jerusalem, with nuance and variegation reflected in the proposals, including those by Walter Harrelson (1964), 9 G. Henton Davies (1980-81), M. E. W. Thompson (1992), 10 Sabine Nägele (1995), Aaron Schart (2003), Philip R. Davies (2009), 11 Jason H. Radine (2010: 198-211;idem 2020: 141-146), Gregory R. Goswell (2011), John Anthony Dunne (2011), Tchavdar S. Hadjiev (2020: 189-191), and George Athas (2021: 229-230). As a brief summary, the main arguments that have been made for a temple interpretation include the following: (1) Nägele (1995, 192-220) argued on lexical grounds that ‫סכה‬ and cognates do refer to Jerusalem and the temple elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible.…”

Mountains Shall Drip Sweet Wine from the Temple: Joel’s Interpretation of the Epilogue of Amos

This essay argues that the parallels between the endings of Joel and Amos suggest that Joel has interpreted Amos, including the esoteric reference to “David’s Tent.” Both prophetic endings anticipate an era of fecundity with mountains dripping with sweet wine (עסיס‎), which is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible, occurring only five times. Both address the fate of Edom, and both point to the recipients of the respective oracles being secure in their land forever. In Joel, it is God’s presence within the temple that creates these realities, whereas in Amos 9.11, it is “David’s Tent.” This suggests that Joel has likely interpreted David’s Tent with references to “Zion,” “my holy hill,” “Jerusalem,” and “the house of the lord” (Joel 4.17–18 mt). These parallels are also worth considering, regardless of which order of the Book of the Twelve one adopts.

This essay explores topics in the Twelve related to the cult from several different angles. In the first part, the books within this anthology are treated separately. The analysis aims at assessing each writing’s perspective on temples and priests, as well as on various forms of cultic practice, with a particular emphasis on sacrificial worship. It is shown that some books attest to a temple-centered worldview, whereas others evince little or no interest in cultic matters. The concluding part discusses patterns and tendencies within the Twelve as a whole, based on the preceding analysis of individual books. New approaches to the study of cult-related passages in the prophetic literature are outlined. It is argued that the traditional (pro-) cultic//anti-cultic dichotomy needs to be replaced by other types of categorizations.
