| Summary: | This study utilises insights from narratology, critical spatiality and the redaction and composition of the Psalter to argue that the collection of poems known as the 'Egyptian' Hallel (Psalms 113- 118) is not a haphazard anthology of individual poems, but a carefully structured composition that tells a 'story.' The hypothesis is that the editors of the Psalter used, amongst others, notions of spatiality as an ordering principle in telling the story. Psalms 113- 118 tell a spatial story that starts amongst the nations and in Sheol, but moves towards a final destination in Jerusalem and the temple. |
