초록

Since antiquity, public recitation from the five books of Moses and the prophetic literature has been considered a central feature of Jewish communal worship. The present article investigates the lectionary portions from the Hebrew prophets (haftarah) in relation to those from the Torah (parashah) for the Israelite festivals in the Babylonian annual cycle. Particular focus will be given to the lectionary pairs preceding and following the Pentecost/Feast of Weeks, namely the parashah and haftarah for the Passover/Unleavened Bread and the Days of Awe/Day of Atonement. The cumulative impact of these consecutive readings is that the Pentecost is to be associated not only with the Mosaic receipt of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, but also with various aspects of Israel’s encounter with YHWH from the exodus to Moses’ final ascent of Mt. Sinai. The correlations between the texts can be traced at various levels with key terms and concepts, accentuating the themes of judgment, salvation, restoration, and renewal. The synchronic consideration of the Jewish lectionary entries surrounding the Pentecost offers a profound experience of probing into ancient exegetical insights and a fresh vantage point for contemporary Christians to appreciate the Pentecostal events in the New Testament.
