PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN As an example. Genesis2:1 reads: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished.” It can also be read as: “Thus the heavens and the earth were destroyed.” While Jewish and Christian <strong>Biblical</strong> hermeneutics have some overlap and dialogue, they have distinctly separate interpretative traditions. Old Testment Canon is based on the direct revelation of God to the children of Israel in the Mount of Sinai. Later He spoke through Prophets and in action through the history of Israel. Each later messages are to tally with the direct revelation witnessed by large witnesses. But in the New Testament Jesus, the Incarnation of God himself, the Word which became Flesh and dwelt among us has spoken to us in more clearer ways within the culture of the Jewish tradition. For three years and more Jesus gave the message and often its iterpretation to large witnesses in four circles. The crowd, the 72, the 12 and the 3 also indicating various levels of revelation of himself. The close three Jesus revealed in full at the time of Transfiguration and to the twleve in the course of his ministry explained all. In the New Testament the final authority is the Jesus and the Apostolic tradition in hermeneutics. 3
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN II THE JEWISH TRADITIONS IN HERMENEUTICS The Hebrew Bible was codified by the rabbis at the Great Assembly and, in its Latin translation, was first printed as volume 1 of the Gutenberg Bible in 1455. The complete Tanakh in Hebrew, with commentaries by Rashi, Radak, Ramban, and Ralbag was printed in 1517 by Daniel Bomberg and edited by Felix Pratensis under the name Mikraot Gedolot. The Hebrew Bible was handed down in manuscript form along with a method of checking the accuracy of the transcription known as mesorah. Many codices containing the masoretic text were gathered by Jacob ben Hayyim ibn Adonijah and were used to publish an accurate text. It was published by Daniel Bomberg in 1525. Later editions were edited with the help of Eliyahu ben Asher ha-Levi Ashkenazi Levita. Various editions of Mikraot Gedolot are still in print. 4
