Rapport final du Comité pour l’analyse textuelle de l’Ancien Testament hébreu institué par l’Alliance Biblique Universelle, établi en coopération avec Alexander R. Hulst, Norbert Lohfink, William D. McHardy, Hans Peter Rüger et James A. Sanders, édité à partir du manuscrit inachevé de Dominique Barthélemy par Clemens Locher, Stephen Desmond Ryan et Adrian Schenker

Cet ouvrage traite des difficultés principales que le texte hébreu traditionnel des livres sapientiaux (Job, Proverbes, Qohélet, Cantique des Cantiques) a posées aux traductions de la Bible qui ont eu le plus d’influence, au cours du dernier demi-siècle, dans les cultures anglaise, française et allemande. Il présente et développe le résultat d’un travail de dix ans (1969‒1979) effectué par un comité international et interconfessionnel de spécialistes de la critique textuelle de l’Ancien Testament. Ce cinquième et dernier volume fut précédé par quatre autres, consacrés aux livres historiques et prophétiques ainsi qu’aux Psaumes.

This work addresses the main problems that the traditional Hebrew text of the wisdom books (Job, Proverbs, Qohelet, Song of Songs) poses for translators, problems that have confronted translators of the most influential English, French and German editions of the Bible over the past half-century. It presents and develops the results of a ten-year effort (1969‒79) conducted by an international and interdenominational committee of specialists in Old Testament textual criticism. This volume is the last in a five-volume series. The first four covered the historical and prophetic books as well as the Psalms.

These phrases function as narrative markers of the dual obligations incurred in the eternal covenant and are crucial to M.'s argument for the bilateral and conditional nature of the "eternal covenant" throughout the Pentateuch. As M. indicates, the emphasis is on how Israel is to fulfill its fundamental command "to be fruitful and multiply." Each use of the phrase "eternal covenant" points to God's provision of the ways and means by which Israel is enabled and empowered to fulfill its unique covenant relationship with God.
