Abstract

MICAH IV 14-V 5-A UNIT BY JOHN T. WILLIS Nashville, Tenn. Frequently a scholar's interpretation of a prophetic pericope is intimately connected with his understanding of the extent of that pericope (its beginning, end, and progress of thought), of its function in the prophetic complex where it has been placed (i.e., its relation- ship to the pericopes surrounding it), and of the essential idea or ideas which it expresses. The celebrated "Bethlehem pericope" is no exception. Critics are by no means agreed as to where this pericope begins or where it ends. iv 14-v 5 is variously divided into two, three, or even four parts. The purpose of this paper is to offer some suggestions toward a solution of the problems just mentioned as they pertain to this pericope. A number of exegetes have felt compelled to separate iv 14 from v iv 14 is an oracle of doom in which the king of Israel (= Judah) is humiliated by an enemy, whereas v 1-5 is an oracle of hope in which the prophet announces that the coming ruler of Israel will be vic- torious over his adversaries 2). Furthermore, either iv 14 or v 1 ff. fits
