관용구 ‘카라 베쉠 야웨’(qārā’ bᵉšēm JHWH, “야웨의 이름을 부르기”)에 관한 언어적 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The idiom, “calling on the name of Yahweh” that appears throughout the rituals in the Old Testament, as Gerhard von Rad noted, takes main function at the heart of the cult. The idiom by itself does not speak, but describes the act of repeatedly chanting the name of YHWH before the altar with the sacrifice. “Calling on the name of Yahweh”(Gen. 4:26; 12:8, etc) literally means to pronounce His name. Hendrik Antonie Brongers’ related study of this phrase has made a significant contribution to our understanding. He succinctly systematizes the work of previous scholars and defines the term as an official confession or hymn.
The recent studies on the idiom, especially by William Quillian Parkinson, John Strazicich, and A. Tim Spann, lead us to conclude that the idiom “calling on the name of Yahweh” is to be a terminus technicus for legitimate YHWH-cults and YHWH beliefs. In terms of content, the idiom means ‘abad YHWH(worshiping Yahweh). ‘abad(worship), in the sense of invocare, includes more than just calling the name. Also, the idiom signifies that YHWH’s name is being proclaimed. And in terms of form, Yahweh’s name is not only called, but also proclaimed in the form of a creed or hymn, thanksgiving, praise, and petition. Seeing that this worship tradition of “calling on the name of Yahweh” is continued in the New Testament, we should not lose sight of its theological importance and succeed it.
