{"product_id":"9780227173961","title":"The Abduction of Dinah: Genesis 28:10-35:15 as a Votive Narrative","description":"The process of understanding a text from the narrator's point of view is crucial for the tasks of interpreting and translating the Bible. If the translator's understanding of a narrative from the narrator's point of view is erroneous, then the whole process of translating the message into another language may also fall into error. This poses Bible translators a difficult challenge: \"How can we understand the narrator's point of view of the biblical stories which are culturally, geographically, and historically remote from our own?\"\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding a text from the narrator's point of view must precede the translation process. In this work Hankore presents an argument for the intended utterance of Genesis 28:10—35:15 before proposing in brief how to translate it. By following this process, Hankore shows that a correct understanding of the concept of the ancient Israelite vow in the framework of a social institution is fundamental to reading and translating Genesis 28:10—35:15, and goes on to show how this same votive framework assist an explanation of the relevance of Genesis 34 to the Jacob story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarke, James Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017667756272,"sku":"9780227173961","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780227173961_p0.jpg?v=1763675128","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780227173961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
