The paper will be about precisely that experience, in a sense \u2013 the fact that texts, including texts that contain intertextual echoes about other texts, as well as their prior contact (if any) with the echoed texts themselves, were <em>heard<\/em> rather than <em>read<\/em> by most of those who experienced them. I originally left open the precise texts to use as examples to explore the relevance of this oral\/aural facet of intertextuality, but I\u2019m presently inclined to focus on some of the YHWH texts echoed in the New Testament and connected with or applied to Jesus. Richard Bauckham mentions these a lot in his recent book <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001OI2LEU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jamefmcgrshom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001OI2LEU\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jesus and the God of Israel<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=jamefmcgrshom-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001OI2LEU\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"><\/em>.
