Jeremiah sketch dump!

There’s the idea that Jeremiah was mentored by a fellow prophet, Zephaniah, and to find out he’s a descendant of DAVID… well that’s chaos combined. Due to his rank as a descendant of David through Hezekiah, Zephaniah may have had an easier time than most prophets as he is royalty.

But still… unless it’s Islam, ‘Prophet’ and ‘Descendant of David’ is a chaotic combo that I don’t think anyone could stand.. personality wise. Also I tried to make Zephaniah look richer and like royalty.

Anyway, onto this guy!!!! There’s actually another Uriah in the Bible that has a terrible fate, it’s this guy, another prophet (I think), did everything right but was still killed and his entire known life story is in Jeremiah 26:20-23. Gosh I feel so bad for him. Another Uriah that got a bad ending. (Luckily the bad endings stop there for the Uriah’s in the Bible tho)

And to the sketches of the man the book is actually named after (edit: he was in the Zephaniah sketch too..)

Baruch is Jeremiah’s bff and the only good scribe he knows (Lookin at you, Jonathan the scribe) and Baruch even got his own deuterocanonical Bible book! The next is based off the belief that Jeremiah was Ezekiel’s father, Buzi. Honestly I feel like the idea of Jeremiah raising the next Prophet would be kinda worrying to him because of all of the pain he went through as a prophet and he might’ve been overbearing and overprotective of Ezekiel talking with god and that might’ve let to some issues between them. Also I made a design for Ezekiel’s mom.

I think I’m reusing the teardrop earring style in my sketches 😂

Samuel

Samuel is a character in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, uniquely depicted as having served several roles, as judge, military leader, seer, prophet, kingmaker, priestly official, and loyal servant of Yahweh. He is traditionally thought to have played a pivotal role in ancient Israel's transition from the judges to the monarchy.

Authorship

Of the many ways the story of Samuel in the Bible is viewed, Tony Cartledge suggests, "While putting more or less trust in the veracity of the materials, the reader must approach the text on at least two levels: as story and as history" (13). Based on 1 Chronicles 29:29-30, the books of Samuel in the Old Testament are traditionally thought to have been primarily authored by the person Samuel, "with supplementary information about the period following his death being supplied by the prophets Nathan and Gad" (13).

However, modern scholarship provides another view. When the particulars of purported accounts of historical events diverge, this suggests multiple authors or sources. For example, in the flood story in Genesis, one version has Noah gathering one pair of each kind of animal; another has him gathering seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals; in one account, Noah sends out a dove; in another, he sends out a raven; in one version the flood lasts a year; in another 40 days and 40 nights, and so on. The Bible is replete with such instances. That is an indication, as Richard Friedman says, "of a skillful redactor capable of combining and organizing separate documents into a single work that was united enough to be readable as a continuous narrative" (60). After all, someone somewhere brought the compilation of material we know as the Bible to its final version.

As the Hebrew Bible has been translated largely through the Masoretic Text and Greek Septuagint, in modern times, the source-critical view of authorship has come to play a prominent role in the historiography of the Bible. Building on the works of others, German biblical scholar Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918) brought what has come to be known as the "documentary hypothesis" of authorship into a more thorough form. According to Wellhausen, for the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch, an editor had at his disposal the works of four authors of different classes, writing at three different stages of Hebraic religious evolution. The earlier J (Jehovah) and E (Elohim) sources "reflected the nature/fertility stage of religion. Writing later, D (Deuteronomy) reflected the spiritual/ethical stage, and P derived from the priestly/legal stage" (Friedman 24-26). While many other aspects of Wellhausen's work have been criticized, the idea of redaction of multiple sources remains the basis for source-critical methodology.

A second seminal and more recent contribution comes from Martin Noth (1902-1968). His Deuteronomist history postulates that the books of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Chronicles, and 1-2 Kings were all "the work of a single writer working in the exilic period, who organized the various old units and complexes of material available to him into a continuous history of Israel from the entry into Canaan until the beginning of the exile" (McCarter, 4). Considering style, language, and thematic similarities to Deuteronomy, Noth identifies the writer of Deuteronomy, with the interests of P, as the sole compiler and editor of the books of Joshua to 2 Kings.

However, with a revision, Frank Moore Cross (1921-2012) places a primary edition (Dtr¹) to the pre-exilic time of king Josiah with a secondary touched-up version (Dtr²) completed during exile. Finally, Richard E. Friedman postulates that Dtr¹ and Dtr² were the sole collaborative works of the prophet Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch, as they fit the bill of P and were alive during Josiah's reign and were together in exile in Egypt.

Concerning Samuel as part of Deuteronomist history, several divergences suggesting multiple authors are pointed out.

Besides the twice-mentioned death of Saul (1 Sam 31; 2 Sam 1), there are other duplicate versions of the same events. Eli is twice warned that his priestly dynasty will fall (1 Sam 2:27-36; 3:11-14). There are two accounts of Saul's public acclamation as king (10:17-24) and two of his rejection (13:14; 15:23). When David flees from Saul, he is twice betrayed by the Ziphites. (Cartledge, 4)

Then there are hard-to-reconcile accounts, as in 16:14-23, where David becomes Saul's personal musician and assistant, yet in the next chapter, when David offers to fight Goliath, he is unknown to Saul. Then there is the antagonism towards the monarchy in 7:1-8:22, but in chapters 9-11, a seeming vote for it "as a means of divine deliverance" (Cartledge, 4). Moreover, there are stand-alone sections such as Hannah's Song, the Ark Narrative, and the Court History of David, where there is no mention of Samuel though in other places he is purported to have vetted and anointed the king.

There remains a lack of consensus as to when excerpts were written and collated, the number and level of completion of the sources received, and if there were one, two, or a school of editors. Regardless, the seriousness and respect with which the source materials were handled are reflected in the fact that divergent narratives were maintained, even though it might have been tempting for the sake of a stronger appearance of historicity to delete countervailing ones.

Moreover, while the source-critical method of the historiography of the Bible has maintained the lion's share of attention within scholastic circles for some time, in recent times, literary criticism and inquiry into the social world of the Bible are making important contributions. Archaeological finds are also having their impact. The Zayit Stone, discovered in 2005 and dating to the 10th century BCE, inscribed with the Old Hebrew alphabet, may, for some, moderate the position of a narrative built on eons of oral tradition. It appears the Hebrews were literate early on, which may shed new light on source material considerations. Friedman's theory that Baruch was the final author of Deuteronomist history is strengthened by the Baruch stamp find, which shows that a person named Baruch lived and was a scribe at that time. The Aramaic inscription bytdwd from Tell Dan recently discovered by Avraham Biran and J. Naveh, as it is thought to be translated as "House of David," confirms for some the historicity of king David and lends credit to the stories surrounding him and those such as Samuel, associated with him.

Nonetheless, as Cartledge shares, camps for and against the historicity of the Old Testament are divided into the minimalist approach "of the Alt-Noth school who argue that scientific historiography cannot simply accept the Old Testament at face value" and the maximalists "from the Albright-Bright circle who believe the Old Testament documents are more trustworthy and while acknowledging discrepancies, may be used to reconstruct the history of ancient Israel" (9). As part of that history, the story of Samuel is one of transition between the period of the judges and the monarchy. Portrayed to have facilitated that passage, Samuel is shown serving several leadership roles.

I really do love Jesus more than all & all my posts belong to Jesus & he is my Lord & savior, the Messiah, the Christ, Jesus is my King & should be your's too instead of people & made up governments or made kings/queens, Jesus Christ the truth, Jesus King of the jews & the rest on the earth & that much being God's son. I love Jesus & this is not about me but about Jesus. Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, Legion, Gabriel, Death, Raphael, Belial, Mammon, Satan, Beelzebub, Baphomet, Abaddon, Molech, Uriel, & more helped me to type this.The colonists not native to here called the USA by them are still using bombs/missiles made from poor former animal & plant material from here & some mined even after knowing the dangers of mining & what happens when a moron sets a fire like in what they call Centralia Pennsylvania & they need to cover & put that fire out-(look really works)-lhttps://www.tumblr.com/myfamilyllashea/774952708096589824/ending-fires?source=share. Like what they did against Iran by colonists & that was wrong to kill as they did. You also know how much of a lie as nuclear equipment/material could explode & cause more devastation if bombed & knowing after already being told not to hurt innocent people, plants, animals, & the rest of Jesus, God, & the Holy Ghost's Children or ever even use bombs or weapons knowing what they do to the whole planet but they are incompetent colonists here going under a made up corporate backed federal government, not native to here, & uncaring or just doing as told- a huge problem here for pay.-so sorry to what is being called Iran & they keep using native terms & names from here to hurt us & literally hurt others with the weapons they were told to ban for the sake of all everywhere. So what did they really bomb in what they are calling Iran? Because that is beyond incompetent to bomb hazardous material to go into the air & spread across the planet & I are so sorry to you in what they are calling Iran & your people.We also need those Apache helicopters-a native name from here to make fun of us & hurt others back from Israel using Jacob's name & them not loving Jesus-king of the jews & God's literal son see Luke 1, John 18-19 & you never kill in God's name as has been done see John 16:2, the nazi's, what has happened here & in what they call south america with forced conversions & the salem witch trials, & what is happening in gaza-canaan & Iran also along with others in the middle east & across the planet by colonists also look at the poor aborigines in colonist called australia & what has happened in south Africa & other places & I the concern is real for the rest of Africa, the middles east, & what they call Asia. Also those tomahawk missiles & bombs as a whole need to stop being used here or anywhere else & those using native terms from here as a pun & knowing the devastation they cause to the planet & to Jesus, God, & the Holy Ghost's people, animals, & plants & more. Also all nukes & weapons need to be taken from what they are calling the USA just see what happened to Japan-hiroshima & nagasaki to innocent people who had no control of what their leader was doing & you do not blame the people for leaders they did not want or nor did they want invaders/colonists who run a shit show fake government or fake king or queen of a place-like here & Canada(Canada does not have nuclear weapons though but called usa does & has used them on Japan & should never be allowed to use them again knowing what nuclear weapons do, Israel using Jacob's name, India,Pakistan, UK-England, Russia,China & others all need to denuclearize & drop all weapons hence not to kill Jesus, God, & the Holy Ghost's people, animals, plants, what they call insects like bees, little beings like penicillium & more & also the long term health effects experienced directly & else where across the planet. Only incompetent people would want to use bombs or weapons knowing the repercussions- mass killing, earth quakes-volcanic eruptions-& tsunamis potentially from bomb impact & they lie just look at the craters left & devastation.
