Description
Summary:The present article elaborates the relevance of the topic of blessing in the Levant of the 1st Millennium BCE on the basis of an exemplary case study on two primary sources: The H«irbet el-Qom-inscription (Qom 3) and the stela of Yehiawmilk of Byblos consist of text and picture. In a methodically reflected procedure, both artefacts are compared in order to depict and interpret in an adequate manner the $ rb-basic constellation, which is based on a significant synergy effect of text and picture.
Der vorliegende Beitrag arbeitet die Relevanz der Segensthematik in der Levante des ersten Jtsd. v.Chr. anhand einer exemplarischen Fallstudie zu zwei Primärquellen heraus: Die H«irbet el-Qom-Inschrift (Qom 3) und die Stele Yehiawmilks von Byblos umfassen je eine Bild- und eine Textebene. Beide gilt es methodisch reflektiert miteinander zu kombinieren, um die auf einem signifikanten Synergieeffekt von Text und Bild beruhende $rb-Grundkonstellation angemessen beschreiben und interpretieren zu können.
