TY - GEN A1 - Dershowitz, Idan T1 - Mordecai (Son of Jair) T2 - Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception Online N2 - Mordecai, son of Jair, is the Deuteragonist of the book of Esther. Some time after the death of the eponymous Esther’s parents, Mordecai – Esther’s cousin – becomes her guardian (Esth 2:7). The MT version of the book also has Mordecai adopting Esther as his daughter (Esth 2:7, 15). In LXX, on the other hand, Mordecai takes her as his wife (Esth 2:7; cf. bMeg 13a). Although the syntax of Esth 2:5–6 is convoluted, it appears Mordecai is a Benjaminite deportee from Jerusalem – exiled by Nebuchadnezzar, along with King Jeconiah and others. Presuming a coherent historical and chronological framework, this would make Mordecai 114 years old at the time of the events, at the very least, which does not accord with his depiction throughout the novella. (This biographical detail is absent in the Greek Alpha Text of Esther.)

It is the starting point of a socio-ethical process of human development within the book of Genesis. The sibling narrative also includes the first report of homicide, more precisely a fratricide, as Cain slays his own brother Abel (Gen 4:8). The Jewish and Christian reception discourse of the Cain-Abel-story developed early on to deal with a range of open questions and difficult passages provided by the biblical text. The basic assumptions of Jewish and Christian interpretations are initially similar in terms of attempting to explain God’s preference for Abel’s sacrifice and Cain’s motivation for killing his brother.

Der in den Band einleitende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob das narrative Format dabei universell verwendet wird oder, z.B. im Rahmen der Liebesdichtung, spezifische Besonderheiten aufweist.

From 2018 to 2022, the project was financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). This project involves scholars of various disciplines including religious studies, Islamic studies, English language, applied computing, and computer engineering. The research is a cooperation of students, PhD candidates and advanced scholars. The project attempts to display the religious diversity in Erbil, the fast-changing capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. Unlike a census or a survey, which focuses on individuals, RME presents the locations (mosques, churches, synagogues, temples and other venues) together with the history and social profiles of the congregations meeting there. [insert tiny map or part of it] The data were obtained by visiting the locations, observing their services, interviewing community leaders (mostly imams and priests), evaluating information from the Ministry of Endowment and Religious Affairs, and by consulting websites. All investigations followed the same pattern, consisting of (I) spatiotemporal and (III) social dimensions, framed by (II) religious performance.
