| Summary: | The author proposes that Isaiah 41,21-42,4 represents a covenant lawsuit, or rîb, based on the structure formulated by G. E. Wright. The author argues that the passage contains a summons (41,21-22a), a case lead by prosecutor (41,22b-24.26-27), a list of gracious deeds by the suzerain (41,25), an indictment / verdict (41,29), and a sentencing (42,1-4). The author holds that Isaiah 40-55 uses a rîb form within 41,21-42,4 to express the controversy and tension that was occurring between Israel and the nations during the Exile. Der Autor klassifiziert die gesamte Komposition Jes 41,21-42,4 als „Bundesprozess“ (rîb, vgl. E. G. Wright). Die Struktur besteht aus einer formalen Vorladung, der Präsentation der Anklage, der Auflistung der Vorleistungen des Suzeräns, des Schiedsspruches und der Ankündigung der Strafe. Diese in Jes 40-55 gebräuchliche literarische Form bringt die kontroversielle Spannung zwischen Israel und den Nationen während der Epoche des babylonischen Exils zum Ausdruck. |
