POLEMICIZING THE PAST: PSALM 115 AND HOSEA 8
2023
Overview
The methodology analyzes a (seemingly) unidentified allusion in Psalm 115:4 to Hosea 8:4. Since the psalmist thrice exhorts worshipers to place security in YHWH (vv. 9-11), the psalm deepens the rhetorical force of the exhortations by hinting at Israel's tragic hktory of placing security elsewhere. \"1 By introducing and then applying a composite innerbiblical allusion methodology to Psalm 115:4 and its role in the psalm, this study argues that the psalm alludes to an anti-idol polemic in Hosea for a nuanced theological purpose. By contrast, the content of Hosea 8 is not among what historical-critical scholars attribute to redactors.22 Even on the typical postexilic dating of Psalm 115 or the earlier suggestion below, Hosea 8:4 was probably available to the psalmist. [...]the proposed allusion provides a viable, concrete link between the polemic in Psalm 115 and a specific prophetic text strengthened by the thematic and rhetorical analysis below. When the term refers to making idols, it implies a jab at idols as mere craftsmanship.29 Unsurprisingly then, ... (craftsman) occurs in four of the six prophetic contexts that Roth labels as anti-idol polemics.30 In form and terminology, then, Hosea 8:4 is an anti-idol polemic. [...]for Psalm 115 to share an ideological strategy found in only a handful of texts and to possess a rare cluster of terms further commends the proposed allusion as probable. [...]Hosea generally and the unauthorized royal installment in 8:4 specifically relate to the northern kingdom,32 and Psalm 115's \"O Israel\" (MT) or \"O house of Israel\" (versions) is probably \"a holistic term for the entire covenant nation.
