 disability in the hebrew bible

Mental and physical disability, ubiquitous in texts of the Hebrew Bible, receive
their first thoroughgoing treatment in this monograph. Saul Olyan seeks
to reconstruct the Hebrew Bible’s particular ideas of what is disabling and
their potential social ramifications. Biblical representations of disability and
biblical classification schemas – both explicit and implicit – are compared
with those of the Hebrew Bible’s larger ancient West Asian cultural context
and with those of the later Jewish biblical interpreters who produced the
Dead Sea Scrolls. This study helps the reader gain a deeper and more subtle
understanding of the ways in which biblical writers construct hierarchically
significant difference and privilege certain groups (e.g., persons with “whole
bodies”) over others (e.g., persons with physical “defects”). It also explores
how ancient interpreters of the Hebrew Bible, such as the Qumran sectarians,
reconfigure earlier biblical notions and classification models of disability for
their own contexts and ends.

Saul M. Olyan is Samuel Ungerleider Jr. Professor of Judaic Studies and

Professor of Religious Studies at Brown University. His previous publica-
tions include Biblical Mourning: Ritual and Social Dimensions (2004), Rites
and Rank: Hierarchy in Biblical Representations of Cult (2000), A Thousand
Thousands Served Him: Exegesis and the Naming of Angels in Ancient Judaism
(1993), and Asherah and the Cult of Yahweh in Israel (1988). He has contributed
to, and served as editor of, various publications in the areas of biblical litera-
ture and ancient religions.
