Abstract:
The relationship between the Torah and the Prophets has been a matter of dispute. This article
discusses the links of the Book of Jeremiah especially with the warnings in Leviticus 26 and the
curses in Deuteronomy 28, but then goes on to show that it also picks up promises from the
Torah and thus indicates a way to salvation. In doing so, it comes close to the Book of Isaiah.
The intertextual comparison between these two prophetic books reveals that the entire Book of
Isaiah may be the source for similar announcements in the Book of Jeremiah, yet also for taking
a more nuanced stance.
INTRADISCIPLINARY AND/OR INTERDISCIPLINARY IMPLICATIONS : The literary relationship between
the Torah and Prophets as well as between the Books of Isaiah and Jeremiah is seen anew from
an Old Testament perspective with its dogmatic implication for a portrayal of God.
