• Si uno intenta alcanzar la deidad o tener lo sagrado, se le echa para atrás; se le rechaza. Le quitan su lengua. Ya ni siquiera puede comunicarse. Esa es la Torre de Babel.

• It fascinates me to analyze these things and, yes, to see layers in the texts and the building up of Biblical literature. I think this provides insights that one simply does not get by the direct approach.

• Furthermore, I think there was, in fact, a celebration of Passover in the era of the Judges in which the epic was recited in the context of the central sanctuary. That tradition was displaced by the Feast of Enthronement beginning in the Solomonic era.

• Israel defined its God and its relation to that God in existential, relational terms. They did not, until quite late, approach the question of one God in an abstract philosophical way.

• [Sacrifice of Isaac] is a major theme of the so-called Elohist [one authorial strand in the Pentateuch]. It is marked by all of his linguistic characteristics, and so on. We cannot determine what is historical and what isn't. As literary critics, we would understand the importance of this for understanding life, destiny. But the historical question must be left with a question mark.

• I prefer to have all of this apparatus - historical, literary, critical - and then, beyond initial innocence and naiveté, to try to achieve a new innocence, a new naiveté.

• That is to say, the inspiration, the interpretive richness of the text is what Elie [Wiesel] does publicly, and his interest in history is his private reserve; he knows that he is not an expert in dissecting the text the way Frank [Moore Cross] does.

• I have referred to [Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] on occasion, but I doubt that you will find his name in any of my indices. In my view, he is important in the history of interpretation; and that is a subject I have not approached directly.

• La Biblia hebrea define el judaísmo. Es cierto que las interpretaciones talmúdicas se convierten en autorizadas y normativas, pero son interpretaciones de la Biblia hebrea. Así que eso siempre está ahí.

• Certainly professionally, yes [I was interested more in history]. And literary criticism, the structure of poetry. But it is primarily as a historian that I work, although text criticism and literary criticism are very much a part of my interests.

• Si tuviera que elegir entre las dos formas de acercarme a la deidad, preferiría la relacional existencial a la filosófica abstracta. Creo que es más verdadero, o en todo caso menos engañoso, decir que Dios es un viejo judío de barba blanca al que amo, que decir que Dios es el fundamento del ser y del sentido, o decir que Dios es un nombre que denota el misterio último. Prefiero los atrevidos colores primitivos de la forma bíblica de describir a Dios.
