अगर कोई इंसान भगवान बनने की कोशिश करे या पवित्रता को हासिल करना चाहे, तो उसे पीछे धकेल दिया जाता है, ठुकरा दिया जाता है। उसकी भाषा उससे छीन ली जाती है। वह किसी से ढंग से बात भी नहीं कर पाता। यही बैबल (बेबीलोन) की मीनार की कहानी है।

If one attempts to achieve deity or to have the holy, he is thrown back; he is refused. His language is taken from him. He can no longer even communicate. That's the Tower of Babel.

It fascinates me to analyze these things and, yes, to see layers in the texts and the building up of Biblical literature. I think this provides insights that one simply does not get by the direct approach.

इसके अलावा, मुझे लगता है कि न्यायकर्ताओं (जज) के दौर में वास्तव में 'फसह' (पासोवर) का पर्व मनाया जाता था, जिसमें केंद्रीय पवित्र स्थल पर बैठकर इस महाकाव्य का पाठ किया जाता था। सुलैमान के समय से 'सिंहासनारोहण उत्सव' की शुरुआत के साथ उस पुरानी परंपरा की जगह ले ली गई।

Furthermore, I think there was, in fact, a celebration of Passover in the era of the Judges in which the epic was recited in the context of the central sanctuary. That tradition was displaced by the Feast of Enthronement beginning in the Solomonic era.

[आइजैक की बलि] तथाकथित इलोहिस्ट (पेंटाट्युच के लेखकों में से एक) का एक मुख्य विषय है। यह उसकी भाषा की सभी खासियतों से परिपूर्ण है, और इसी तरह की बातें इसमें मिलती हैं। हम यह तय नहीं कर सकते कि इसमें क्या इतिहास है और क्या नहीं। साहित्यिक समीक्षकों के रूप में, हम जीवन और भाग्य को समझने के लिए इसके महत्व को समझ सकते हैं, लेकिन ऐतिहासिक सवाल को अनुत्तरित ही छोड़ना होगा।

[Sacrifice of Isaac] is a major theme of the so-called Elohist [one authorial strand in the Pentateuch]. It is marked by all of his linguistic characteristics, and so on. We cannot determine what is historical and what isn't. As literary critics, we would understand the importance of this for understanding life, destiny. But the historical question must be left with a question mark.

Israel defined its God and its relation to that God in existential, relational terms. They did not, until quite late, approach the question of one God in an abstract philosophical way.

मुझे सचमुच लगता है कि जोसिय्याह के समय में फसह (पासोवर) के प्राचीन रूप को वापस लाना बिल्कुल सही था और यह ऐतिहासिक रूप से भी सच है। जोसिय्याह वाकई एक अलग और पुरानी परंपरा की ओर लौटते हैं, उस दौर में जब एक केंद्रीय पवित्र स्थल होता था जहाँ कानून पढ़ा जाता था। लेकिन बाद में व्यवस्थाविवरण की पुस्तक में और भी बातें जुड़ती चली गईं।

I do think that the Josianic return to the archaic form of the Passover is appropriate and, indeed, historical. Josiah does go back to a different, earlier tradition, the time of a central sanctuary in which the law code was read. But then there were accretions to the Book of Deuteronomy.
