When We Read the Bible

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 1 –3

[Itzhak Benyamini, in his tantalizingly fresh reading of Genesis, writes plainly and elegantly what he describes as a “critical theology.” The focus is not exclusively on God—but it is primarily on the Bible’s leading character. What Benyamini means by “critical theology” is something fairly...

Chapter One: The Creation of God

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 7 –22

[Opinions are divided. The first verse appears to announce and summarize what follows (as asserted by Cassuto, for example), and as such, it contains all the details of the act of creation, in the sense that God (Elohim) created everything out of everything, both sides of the world, that of...
Available

Chapter Two: Creation of the Earth

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 23 –37

[Here begins the second or supplementary description of the story of creation. The apparent contradiction between the two accounts does not necessary imply two schools or writers, but two modes of a single subjective structure, exactly as in the Freudian unconscious wherein two (or more)...
Available

Chapter Three: The Sons of God

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 39 –45

[Before entering into the account of the dreadful flood, a brief, enigmatic story is offered to us about the supposedly transgressive deeds of humanity at the time of Noah and before him, in order to justify God’s spiteful action that follows. Therefore, Noah and his sons are mentioned, and— at...

Chapter Four: The Flood

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 47 –58

[Noah was a simple, good man, in relation to his period (or perhaps to all generations). He walked with God, walking in his ways. This was his custom before God, as it says below: for I have seen that you are righteous before me (7:1). However, something else stands before God: the earth was...

Chapter Five: The Curse of the Son

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 59 –64

[Noah is a renewed Adam, the first man after the deluge, and with his sons, he will rebuild humanity, according to God’s fantastic plan, which is engraved in the covenant. Since Noah was created in the image of Adam, who was created in the image of God, who could be a kind of father, we may ask...
Available

Chapter Six: Babel

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 65 –74

[We now approach the last chapter in Genesis before the story of Abram, and thence that of his people, Israel. The present story is about Babel (Babylon), the city and the tower, and a great deal has been written about it, in philosophical and linguistic contexts, including work by Walter...

The Theological Unconscious: Concluding Remarks on Part One

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 75 –78

[“Now what?”—Well, what has not yet been done? In general, today, we do too much. We are deep in the trap of overdoing. In our desire to prevent the overheating of our world, if we manage it at all, at most, we will slightly slow up the capitalist smoke machines, or else, if we manage to find a...
Available

Chapter Seven: Go for Yourself

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 81 –97

[In this chapter, we read two non-sequential scenes from Genesis that touch upon the beginning of the complex relationship between Abram and God, which partakes of intimacy (attributed to the first generations in their contact with the creator). This chapter includes a distinction: faith, which...
Available

Chapter Eight: The Excess of Sodom

Benyamini, Itzhak

Pages: 99 –104

[First, we must ask about the verse, now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against YHVH. What evil did the people of Sodom do? We are told they are wicked sinners, but it is not yet clear exactly why they are bad. Later, it is mentioned that they want to know the men/angels who are...
