Abstract

This article analyzes Heb 13, particularly vv. 7â19, applying the methods of spatial analysis. Of specific interest is the space described as âoutside the campâ in Heb 13:11â13. As the term seems to allude to three different spaces in time, namely, the spaces outside the desert camp, outside Jerusalem, and outside Rome (the addresseesâ location as generally assumed), a practice of overlapping maps can be observed, in which the first shapes all subsequent maps. This first map points to Sinai, where the ritual related to Yom Kippur was introduced. As Sinai is also the location where Israelâs leader Moses, to whom Jesus in Hebrews is compared, left the camp because of its defilement, the primary intertext underlying Heb 13 is identified in Exod 33, particularly in vv. 7â11. A detailed spatial analysis of the Sinai narrative adopting Edward W. Sojaâs trialectic of Firstspace, Secondspace, and Thirdspace, together with additional readings from various Targumim as well as Philo of Alexandria, results in a useful model that seems to have served the author of Hebrews to interpret the spaces, bodies, and actions in ch. 13. This analysis not only sheds new interpretative light on a chapter widely considered to be a crux interpretum but also strengthens the position that this chapter is an integral part of the preceding text in Hebrews.
