Summary: | A recently uncovered Neo-Babylonian document contained the name of an officer: Nabû-šarrussuukīn the rab ša-rēši. This name elucidates the enigmatic text at Jer. 39,3, where Nergal-Shareser, the Samgar; Nebu-Sar-Sechim, the rab-saris needs to be read. There is a high degree of possibility that the newly uncovered Babylonian officer can be identified with the person mentioned in Jer. 39,3. This identification, however, does not imply a full confirmation of the story in Jer. 39. Ein vor kurzem gefundenes neu-babylonisches Dokument enthält den Namen eines Offiziers: Nabûšarrussu-ukīn der rab ša-rēši. Dieser Name verdeutlicht den enigmatischen Text von Jer. 39,3, wo Nergal-Shareser, der Samgar, Nebu-Sar-Sechim, der rab-saris gelesen werden soll. Die Identifikation des neulich gefundenen neubabylonischen Offiziers mit der Person aus Jer. 39 ist sehr wahr– scheinlich. Diese Identi–fikation ist jedoch keine Bestätigung der Erzählung Jer. 39. |
