The Psalms of the Return (Book V, Psalms 107-150) - Studies in the Psalter, IV

Informationen zum Autor Michael Goulder is Emeritus Professor of Biblical Studies at the University of Birmingham. Zusammenfassung Book V of the Psalter (Psalms 107-150) divides into three! with the Songs of the Ascents (120-134) as the central section! and the first and third units following parallel structures (historical! Davidic! alphabetical! Hallel psalms). The units are all compositions of the Return period: 107-119 for the reconstruction of the Temple! 120-134 for Nehemiah's wall-building! 135-150 for Ezra's mission. Psalms 120-134 follow the episodes of Nehemiah's 'memoir'! in order. All three groups show evidence of evening-morning alternation! and were intended for festal use: 107-118 at the Passover of Ezra 6! 120-134 at the Tabernacles of Nehemiah 12! 135-150 at Ezra's Tabernacles (Neh. 8).
