Walkowiak, Katarzyna Kinga2025-12-122025-12-122012Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny, 2012, Tom 65, nr 4, s. 345-364.0209-08722391-8497https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/39936The pericope concerning the meeting of Moses and Jethro (Ex 18, 1–27) provides a number of interesting conclusions about the nature of the interreligious dialogue. Using biblical exegesis, literary analysis, as well as with the comments of Jewish rabbis, the article takes on the task to further examine the nature and consequences of the dialogue. While recognizing the meeting of the Midianite priest and Moses as a “moment of dialog”, the importance of the exchange of gifts in the process of dialogue has been particularly stressed. To make this dialogue possible, Jethro first heard and traveled to the desert, and in turn, Moses stood out in front of his father-in-law and told what God made with Israel. The outcome of this dialogue turned out to be a burning offering by the priest Jethro, participation in cult in honor of God, YAHWEH. Making the exchange of gifts contributed to the development of the living faith of the people in dialogue. The dialogue of Jethro and Moses, which has been based on trust, respect and humble acceptance of good advice, may become a model, or an icon for each interreligious and ecumenical dialogue.polCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaspotkanie Jetro z Mojżeszemegzegeza biblijnadialog międzyreligijnynatura dialogumoment dialogicznywymiana darówrady Jetrokonwersja na judaizmkult Boga JHWHikona dialoguJetroMojżeszdialogegzegezajudaizmdarykultBógJahweanaliza literackaanaliza egzegetycznateologiateologia biblijnaBibliaPismo ŚwiętebiblistykaStary TestamentKsięga WyjściaWj 18:1-27Wj 18filologiafilologia biblijnawiarawiara biblijnawartości dialogicznemeeting of Jethro and Mosesbiblical exegesisinterreligious dialoguenature of dialoguemoment of dialogexchange of giftsJethro’s councilsconversion to Judaismworship of God YHWHicon of dialogueJethroMosesdialogueexegesisJudaismgiftsworshipcultGodYahwehliterary analysisexegetical analysistheologybiblical theologyBiblebiblical studiesOld TestamentBook of ExodusEx 18:1-27Ex 18philologybiblical philologyfaithbiblical faithdialogical valuesArticle
