Renounced and Abandoned: The Legal Meaning of ʿzb in Ezekiel 8:12 and 9:9
Ezekiel 8-11, the so-called Temple Vision, describes the departure of the kbôd-YHWH ("glory of Yhwh") from Jerusalem and the temple precincts. In this article, I argue that the consistent presence of juridical elements in this vision reveals that the Judahites' statements in Ezek 8:12...

| Résumé: | Ezekiel 8-11, the so-called Temple Vision, describes the departure of the kbôd-YHWH ("glory of Yhwh") from Jerusalem and the temple precincts. In this article, I argue that the consistent presence of juridical elements in this vision reveals that the Judahites' statements in Ezek 8:12 and 9:9 are a quasi-legal fonnula describing their perception of the legal relationship among them, Yhwh, and the land. Specifically, ʿzb in these verses carries a legal valence related to the renunciation or disclaimer of a legally enforceable claim to an object. This legal understanding of Ezek 8:12 and 9:9 also provides additional insight into the narrative logic of the Temple Vision by asserting that these verses are not predictive but performative. |
