“…Hal ini secara tidak langsung menunjukkan bahwa Alkitab mengakui ketidakbersalahan Batsyeba sebagai istri sah Uria (Smit, 2010). Ayat ini juga dapat dimaknai sebagai penekanan akan teguran Natan kepada Daud yang telah mengambil istri orang lain dan kemudian membunuh Uria (2Sam.…”

The relationship recorded in 2 Samuel 11 between David and Bathsheba has been interpreted differently by scholars and clergies. Some see it as a love story or a story of infidelity or adultery, but some view it as David’s crime of taking his subordinate’s wife by force. The author reviewed Bathsheba’s position in this article, whether as a tempter or victim, by exposing 2 Samuel 11. The research method used qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach. The author revealed the story by exegeses and analyzed the story presented in it. From the research results, the writer believes that Bathsheba is not a tempter but a victim of David’s power manipulation. We need to be careful with this story since failing to see Bathsheba’s story as sexual manipulation case would make us blind to sin dissemination that lurks in believers’ life. Likes coercion or raping, subtly intimidating like what happens in this story is a sex crime. Thus, we need to be wary not to entrap in a trite concept that places a woman from a victim to a perpetrator.AbstrakRelasi yang tercatat di dalam 2 Samuel 11 antara Daud dan Batsyeba telah ditafsirkan dengan istilah yang berbeda oleh para ahli dan rohaniwan. Ada yang menganggapnya sebagai kisah cinta atau kisah perselingkuhan atau perzinahan, tetapi ada pula yang memandangnya sebagai kisah kejahatan Daud, yang mengambil istri orang secara paksa. Melalui artikel ini penulis meninjau posisi Batsyeba, apakah sebagai penggoda atau sebagai korban dengan mengeksposisi 2 Samuel 11. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif analisis. Penulis mengeksposisi kisah tersebut dengan mengeksegesis dan menganalisis kisah yang tersaji di dalamnya. Dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan penulis meyakini Batsyeba bukanlah penggoda melainkan korban manipulasi kekuasaan Daud. Kita perlu berhati-hati menyikapi kisah ini sebab kegagalan melihat kisah Batsyeba sebagai kisah penyalahgunaan seksual akan membuat kita buta terhadap penyebarluasan dosa seksual yang mengintai umat Tuhan. Selain pemaksaan atau pemerkosaan, intimidasi secara halus seperti yang dialami Batsyeba juga merupakan kejahatan seks. Oleh sebab itu, jangan sampai kita terjebak dalam pemahaman tipikal yang mendudukkan wanita dari korban menjadi pelaku. Kata-Kata Kunci: 2 Samuel 11, Daud, Batsyeba, penggoda, korban, perselingkuhan, pemerkosaan

“…À quoi s'ajoute toutefois cette donnée supplémentaire : Jésus n'est pas issu d'une vierge mais est bien un enfant illégitime. Il faut évidemment nous arrêter quelque peu sur ce point.Les doutes quant à la naissance de Jésus sont, on le sait, au moins aussi anciens que les textes du Nouveau Testament49 . « Ton père, où est-il ?…”

“…But in a genealogy of Joseph in which Joseph is not the actual father, the alteration of such a pattern is inevitable and insufﬁcient reason to separate the earlier mothers from the mother with whom the genealogy ends. The recent article by Smit (2010) allows for the Gentile interpretation as secondary but argues that gender issues are more signiﬁcant than ethnic ones, that the ﬁve women are to be viewed as one group and that the function of the ﬁrst four is to prepare for and vindicate the awkward circumstances of Jesus’ irregular birth. He points out that ‘the use of the verb (γεννάω) and the preposition (ἐκ) to describe the birth of Jesus from Mary is consistent with the expression used (only!)…”

“…He points out that ‘the use of the verb (γεννάω) and the preposition (ἐκ) to describe the birth of Jesus from Mary is consistent with the expression used (only!) in 1.3, 5-6 of the genealogy’ (2010: 198) and therefore provides continuity rather than discontinuity between Mary and what is said of the women in the earlier formulaic pattern.…”

Contested Paternity and Contested Readings: Jesus’ Conception in Matthew 1.18-25

Some recent readings of Matthew’s account of Jesus’ conception have questioned whether it would have been originally understood in the way it has traditionally been interpreted, namely, as a miraculous divine act in which there was no human male agency. This article presents their case in regard to how the language of ‘begotten by the holy Spirit’ (1.18, 20) would have been understood in a Jewish context, whether Matthew changes the force of παρθένος in his citation of LXX Isa. 7.14 (1.23) and what the reference to Joseph’s abstinence from intercourse with Mary until after the birth (1.25) might signify. It asks whether the traditional or revised reading ﬁts better in its Matthean context and what light might be shed on each by Matthew’s use of tradition. It revisits the use of LXX Isa. 7.14 and the interpretation of ‘begotten by the holy Spirit’ in a Jewish context, before assessing the rival readings in the light of ancient views of procreation and conception and of the story’s apparent apologetic features. Finally, the article provides brief reﬂection on how this contest of readings might be adjudicated.
