Description:
<jats:p>This article is a comprehensive, and comparative analysis of the most relevant medieval Jewish exegetes who wrote commentaries on or explanations of Psalm 2: Saadiah Gaon, Yefet ben Eli, Salmon ben Yeruham, Rashi, Josef Bechor Shor, Abraham ibn Ezra, David Kimhi, Jacob ben Reuben, Menahem ha-Meiri, and Isaiah of Thrani. Comparison will show the different solutions provided by medieval Jewish exegetes to the question as to which historical or eschatological figures, nations, or kingdoms the psalm refers to. Other controversial issues such as the place of Psalm 2 within the book of Psalms are also explored.</jats:p>
