41 Lechtheim, Egyptian Literature, p. 139. 42 Lechtheim, Egyptian Literature, p. 134. 43 This is a far superior historical model than the ‘transcript’ model so often employed. Not as brief, but still quite concise, is Richard James Coggins’s volume on Joel and Amos in the New Century Bible Commentary series. 44 Dines and Coggins are among a group of scholars who emphasize the social production of literature attributed to prophets and not the social phenomenon of prophecy itself. Michael H. Floyd writes that scholars must differentiate the history of prophecy from the history of the prophetic books; as well, he asserts that the history of prophecy is not the same thing as the history of the books of prophecy.
99 A negative sense of cultic ‘planting’ is the erection of Asherah symbols, cf. the ban on this practice in Deut. 16:21. 100 Levenson, ‘Temple and World’, p. 289. But see Hab. 3:3 in which God’s splendour ‘fills’ the earth. 101 Levenson, ‘Temple and World’, pp. 289–90. 97 AMOS AMONG THE HISTORIANS, MYTHMAKERS AND POETS 35 As noted in the previous chapter, the word ‘north’ is sometimes also used as a name for Zion, as in Ps. 48:3 (Eng. v. 2). ‘Zaphon’, however, is also the sacred mountain of Ugarit, home of the god El.
The result was an increased emphasis on books whose origins were thought to be divine. 62 This open-endedness, however, may have led to applicability of the texts to new and different situations, thus providing reasons to preserve the texts as a living tradition, not to mention efforts by interested parties to claim to have the ‘proper’ interpretations. 63 Ben Zvi bases his notion of the ‘brokers of divine knowledge’ on the model of Deut. 17:18 and Ezra 3:4. They presumably were at least partially accepted: they could not exist on their own, requiring certain resources to function.
