This article gives an overview of the exegetical approaches in Yefet’s biblical commentaries, especially his literary-historical approach as a central component of Yefet’s commentary on the Book of Amos. Yefet espouses an essentially historical approach to the biblical text; evident both by his deductions of the nature of society, and by dating the events mentioned in the book, based on biblical “evidence” taken from references to other biblical texts. He treats these events as developing narratives using both literary and historical tools. This approach guides his interpretations and helps him to determine whether metaphorical or literal interpretation is most appropriate.

Yefet Ben'Eli the Karaite在他对阿摩司书的评论中的文学历史方法

本文概述了 Yefet 的圣经注释中的解经方法，尤其是作为 Yefet 对《阿摩司书》的注释的核心组成部分的文学历史方法。Yefet 支持对圣经文本采取本质上的历史方法；通过他对社会本质的推断，以及根据参考其他圣经文本的圣经“证据”，确定书中提到的事件的年代，这两者都是显而易见的。他将这些事件视为使用文学和历史工具发展叙事。这种方法指导他的解释，并帮助他确定隐喻解释还是字面解释最合适。
