Tanakh & the Ancient Near East Index – Parashat Vayeshev
The Sale of Yosef in Ancient Near East Context
- Amos 2:6 (from the haftarah of Parashat Vayeshev) speaks of selling the poor for a pair of shoes, and has been understood by the Sages to refer to the sale of Yosef (see Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer 38). See ‘For a Pair of Shoes’: A New Light on an Obscure Verse in Amos’ Prophecy by Avi Shveka for an analysis of the notion of selling a person for a pair of shoes in light of Ancient Near East law.
Levirate Marriage in the Ancient Near East
- See Levirate Marriage in Israel by Millar Burrows to understand the background to levirate marriage in the Ancient Near East, and the contrasts between the institution as it is set forth in Tanakh and in Canaanite culture.
Visual Aids
- See Olam Hamikra for images of what Yehuda’s seal, cord, and staff may have looked like.
Egyptian Words in the Yosef Narrative
- See Egyptian Background to the Yosef Narratives, which explores Egyptian loanwords that appear in the Biblical narrative of Yosef.
- See Cognates and Loanwords for more extensive discussion of the etymology and meaning of these words.
- See Egyptian Loanwords as Evidence for the Authenticity of the Exodus and Wilderness Traditions by Benjamin J. Noonan, which argues that the appearance of Egyptian words in the Biblical text indicates the authenticity of its narratives relating to Egypt
Dream Narratives and Interpretation
- For an extensive treatment of dream narratives and interpretation in the Ancient Near East, see The Interpretation of Dreams in the Ancient Near East by A. Leo Oppenheim.
