從路斯到伯特利—《創世記》二十八章10－22節地名演變故事中的敘事、記憶與觀念

在聖經闡釋與批評史上，《創世記》二十八章10－22節歷來聚訟紛紜，但其中由「路斯」到「伯特利」的地名演變敘事並未受到足夠關注。本文從《希伯來聖經》中的地名故事這一敘事類型出發，在編修語境中揭示《創世記》二十八章10－22節所隱含的「去迦南化」敘事策略及敘事目的，進一步結合《約書亞記》和《士師記》中路斯地名背後的社會情境以及成書時期的思想觀念，認為《創世記》二十八章19b節關於地名演變的編修注釋起到了調和不同時期地名傳統與歷史記憶的作用。同時，後流放時期祭司與文士階層對《創世記》二十八章10－22節的整體編修背後暗含着將迦南地轉化為「應許之地」的意識形態，而民族土地問題是這一神學觀念的題中應有之義。

Genesis 28:10-22 remains one of the most disputed texts in biblical studies. However, the narrative dynamics of renaming Bethel under a toponymic story has not been fully acknowledged yet. This article focuses on how the Canaanite town "Luz" becomes the Israelite city of "Bethel" in Genesis 28:10-22. After exploring the narrative strategy and narrative purpose of the Bethel renaming story in redactional context, and revealing how the memory of Luz reemerges under different social situations in the books of Joshua and Judges, this article argues that the redactional gloss in Genesis 28:19b plays a significant role in coordinating different toponymic traditions and historical memories onto that piece of land. Meanwhile, the act of converting Canaanite land into the Promised Land should be seen as an integral part of the Israelite identity construction during the process of redaction in the post-exilic social context.
