The oracle of deliverance for Ebed-Melech, the cushite: An exegetical-theological study of Jer 38,1-13 and 39,15-18

The study of the events in Judah (588–586 B.C) highlights God’s faithfulness to his pronouncements to the people; the fate of the disobedient Judahites; and the promise to deliver Ebed-melech, the Cushite who trusted in God. Yhwh plans to save all the people irrespective of their racial, political, and social backgrounds.

This book examines the oracle of deliverance that Yhwh communicated to Ebed-melech, the Cushite (Jer 39,15-18). In order to comprehend this analeptically presented promise, however, the research also scrutinizes two other related events in Jeremiah’s mission in the context of Jer 37–39: i) the unpleasant incident in which the Jerusalem officials maliciously threw the Lord’s messenger into the muddy cistern (Jer 38,1–6) and ii) Ebed-melech’s benevolent intervention to rescue the prophet from the water reservoir (Jer 38,7-13). In this monograph, the author uses the historical-critical method and rhetorical & narrative analyses.
