T'a aar-cr π [1913 -1980] and K'^an to my wife Bina nsn niaini jn ηψχ Acknowledgements It is a pleasant duty to acknowledge the support and assistance by various people and institutions in bringing this work to fruition: — to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, who provided several grants over the past six years, and who beneficently underwrote the costs of publication; — to Haifa University's Research Authority for covering the costs of typing the manuscript; — to the 'White Fathers' of the Ecole Biblique in whose library and facilities much of the present work was researched and written, and especially J.-M. de Tarragon, F. Langlemet, M. Sigrist, P. Dreyfus, to name but a few, who made me feel at home during my several sojourns in their midst; — to the editors of UF and the SBL Seminar Papers for permission to use previously published materials; — to Professor Otto Kaiser, for kindly accepting a manuscript not entirely related to Old Testament studies for publication in BZAW; — to Genoveba Breitstein, who typed a difficult manuscript pa- tiently and efficiently; — and finally to my family, and my wife Bina in particular, for putting up with my prolonged absences from home during the past six years. Their love and devotion were my consolation as well as inspira- tion. Haifa, January 1988 Baruch Margalit Table of Contents Acknowledgements VII Abbreviations XI Introduction XIII PART I § 1.
