Hebrew Studies announces a call for papers on the encounter between Saul and the medium of Endor for our 2021 issue<\/b>
\nThe description of the events leading up to and the exchange between Saul and the medium of Endor in 1 Sam 28:4-24 raises several questions. What are ovot and yid\u2019onim, and why did Saul expel them (or those who consult them) from the land in 1 Sam 28:3? How common was it for people to resort to these sorts of specialists at that time? What was the difference between licit (communication by dreams, prophecy or the use of Urim and Thummim) and illicit forms of inquiry of occult\/supernatural forces? Why is it specifically a woman Saul asks for when he seeks a medium? Were women more likely to be associated with the ability to communicate with the dead? What conception of the afterlife is reflected in this text? How does this episode relate to the rest of the Saul cycle?\u00a0Contributions can address any of these questions or other issues related to this encounter.<\/p>\n
