{"product_id":"sedeq-and-sedaqah-in-the-ahuva-ho-9780820413495","title":"Sedeq and Sedaqah in the Hebrew Bible","description":"Up till now \u003ci\u003eSedeq\u003c\/i\u003e was generally interpreted as  justice  and \u003ci\u003eSedaqah\u003c\/i\u003e as  righteousness  without using comparative research to go beyond the dogmatic interpretation. This first-time in-depth research has shown not only that the three genres (Narrative, Wisdom and the Prophets) use both terms as two separate distinct meanings, but also a clear development and branching-out of meanings (especially of \u003ci\u003eSedaqah\u003c\/i\u003e) throughout the Biblical era, a period of about 1000 years. It has also found a definite inter-dependency and influence between Wisdom and the Prophets literatures. \u003ci\u003eSedeq\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSedaqah\u003c\/i\u003e are concepts in terms of relationships: between man and man according to social customs and norms, and between man and God according to a special covenant. Contrary to prior interpretation and to the contemporary meaning, there is no evidence that the Biblical \u003ci\u003eSedaqah\u003c\/i\u003e took the meaning of  Charity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahuva Ho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820413496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820413495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ahuva Ho","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302086701311,"sku":"9780820413495","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52578552-d48c-4aa0-a010-1700c850641d.jpg?v=1695159440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sedeq-and-sedaqah-in-the-ahuva-ho-9780820413495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
