Příbytek ve slunci? Slunce jako alegorie Boha v Žl 18,5c LXX

The images of the divine Sun in ancient cultures are the context of Old Testament expressions concerning the sun. The translator of the Hebrew text into Greek must have also been influenced by the culture that surrounded him. The translator provided his Greek-speaking Jewish contemporaries with a monotheist tuned paraphrase of the Hebrew text in Psalm 18:5c. His idea of the sun as an appropriate allegorical representation of God is based on linguistic and thematic default assumptions of the Hebrew text.
