Turning Tables in Israel’s History : Food Language and Reversals in Psalms 105 and 106
Psalms 105 and 106 have long been identified as “twin psalms” (Zwillings-psalmen) offering contrasting pictures of Israel’s history. While both psalms celebrate Yhwh’s faithfulness in covenant relationship, Psalms 105 offers a positive view and Psalm 106 a negative view of Israel’s response. Each psalms relies heavily on the literary trope of reversal to emphasize key themes such as Yhwh’s sovereignty and Israel’s rebellion. Within these reversals, food language and food events often pla a significant role. In this article I argue that the psalmists’ recollections of these often ironic, food-based reversals serve to offer hope to a postexilic audience that Yhwh can again bring about a change even in their current circumstances.
