초록

이집트를 '나의 백성'이라 부르는 구절이 포함된 이사야 19장 16-25장의 역사적 배경과 이집트의 종교상황을 점검하면서 예언서의 종교관을 파악하려는 논문이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 다신론과 단일신론, 그리고 유일신론이 모두 나타나는 예언서의 신관을 분석하였다. 이러한 연구과정을 통해 이사야 19장의 본문이 종교 간의 대화를 열어줄 수 있는 단서를 제공해 줄 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다.

영어초록

Isaiah 19 includes remarkable passages. Egypt and Assyria, symbols of oppression and brutal tyranny, are united in harmony with Israel and blessed by the Lord of hosts; "Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing... Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands ..."(Isa. 19: 24-25).
The purpose of this paper is to uncover the views of the Prophetic Books towards other gods and other religions while interpreting Isaiah 19: 16-25.
During his 720-719 B. C. campaign, Sargon II, the king of Assyria, began a policy of cooperation and mutual alignment with the Delta Egyptians. And at that time, Jews were living in Egypt, especially in five cities including 'Sun city.' Also there were altars of Yahweh in Egypt like the temple in Elephantine. This situation is the background of Isaiah 19: 16-25.
Although monotheism is dominant in the Old Testament, we can find polytheism and henotheism easily. In Deuteronomy 32: 8-9 and passages of Psalms(Ps. 82: 1, 6-7; 97: 7, 9), polytheism is apparent. In the story of Naaman(2 Kg. 5: 17-18) and prophecy of Micah(Mic. 4: 5), we see henotheism. Sometimes, for example the passage of 1 Samuel 2: 2, originally concerned henotheism, is revised as a passage of monotheism.
In oracles against foreign nations, prophecies of judgement are announced based on common ethics rather than religious reasons. Although Cyrus was a pagan and the king of Persia, he was announced as "my(Lord's) shepherd"(Is. 44: 28) and "his(Lord's) anointed"(Is. 45: 1).
God called peoples of Egypt and Assyria as well as Israel as 'my people' without regard for the differences of religion. God rules all nations and all peoples as the Lord of universe, as the Creator of the earth and heavens. This is a clue to solve problems of religious conflict.
