The Song of Moses as a model for Isa. 10.5–19

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Seeking to demonstrate that Isa. 10.5–19 was influenced by the Song of Moses (Deut. 32), this article first examines the links between the two texts, primarily their common theological perspective, and then proceeds to substantiate the argument by evincing that Isaiah son of Amoz develops and adapts the Song’s description of God sending an adversary to punish Israel who fails to understand the role he is assigned (Deut. 32.26–30). The discussion focuses on the way the prophet employs the Song in order to present his theology of the Assyrian enemy.
