| Résumé: | In fifteen instances between Deut 1 and 10, the Deuteronomic Moses makes use of the formula "At that time (בעת ההוא)". In Deuteronomy, the phrase functions as a rhetorical marker, pertaining to Moses’ art of (re)telling. It announces what could be termed "authoritative secondary disclosures": Moses reveals what was not told before in the way it is now presented. The formula could be paraphrased "It was (actually) at that time that ...", and it signals the filling of gaps in the overall fabula of Israel’s journey in the desert. |
