Behold, I Am Against You! Divine Violence in Ezekiel 21 in the Light of Ancient Near Eastern Texts
The Bible, the Hebrew Bible (HB) and the New Testament (NT), undoubtedly contains many violent texts, these treat of violence as having origins both human and divine. Passages, particularly those speaking of divine violence, could bring readers to conclude that God, especially in the Hebrew Bible, is violent, jealous, angry, and warlike. Therefore, it is necessary to read and interpret texts describing divine violence in the Hebrew Bible attentively, for at least two reasons: First, in the past, some scholars tried to deny the Hebrew Bible as part of the biblical canon. For example, one of those who rejects the God of the Hebrew Bible is Marcion (144 AD.) who argues that the God of the Hebrew Bible is cruel, jealous, warlike, and violent. Secondly, the problem of the violent texts in the Bible, particularly in the Hebrew Bible, is that such violent texts provoke a kind of 'horizontal' violence in society today, and some seek to justify violent acts on the basic of these texts.
