Abstract
A NOTE ON ISAAC AS FIRST - BORN IN JUBILEES AND ONLY SON IN 4Q225 BETSY HALPERN - AMARU Jerusalem, Israel The Book of Jubilees and 4Q225 (4QPseudo-Jubilees) each develop a connection between the Aqedah and the exodus. Jubilees creates that nexus through an intertextual design that depicts the Aqedah as a fore- shadowing of the exodus. 4Q225, on the other hand, adopts a linear structure that employs Genesis 15 as a mediating text between the two deliverance narratives. Scholars have given considerable attention to the motifs that advance the relationship between the Aqedah and the exodus in each text. 1 The intent of this note is to examine a feature that has not been explored in that scholarship, speci fi cally, the desig- nation of Isaac as a fi rst-born son in Jubilees and as an only son in 4Q225. 2 1 On the intertextual design in Jubilees , see G. Vermes, “Redemption and Genesis XXII — The Binding of Isaac and the Sacri fi ce of Jesus,” Scripture and Tradition: Haggadic Studies (SPB 4; Leiden: Brill, 1961) 215 – 16; A.
