摘要

明清時期的開封猶太人在新的歷史語境下亟需建構身份認同，本文基於開封猶太人最重要的史料碑文和猶太教的經典妥拉，從文本對讀的視角，探討了開封猶太人在碑文中處理妥拉文本內摩西形象的方法。文章分析了妥拉文本西奈敘事中上帝傳經以及摩西的律法仲介身份在碑文中的體現，出埃及傳統在碑文中的隱形，以及摩西「聖人」形象的建構；探討了精英階層的導向作用，建構新身份的需求和儒家「天道觀」的影響，以此呈現出開封猶太人的文化適應策略。

This article discusses how Kaifeng Jews depicted the image of Moses in the stone inscriptions, based on the contextual analysis between the Torah and the stone inscriptions, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when Kaifeng Jews needed to construct a new identity. This article shows that the image of Moses accepting the Scripture and his image as the law mediator in the Sinai tradition, were revealed in the stone inscriptions, while the Exodus tradition was absent, contributing to the reconstructing of the image of Moses as a Chinese sage. For the Kaifeng Jews, the role of the elites, the necessity of constructing an identity for themselves, and the concept of heaven have all contributed to the image of Moses in the inscriptions.
