This article contributes to the ongoing discussion of the story of Cain by exploring the speeches within Genesis 4 as speech acts. The investigation will focus on two narrative levels of analysis, the story level (the viewpoint of the characters) and the storyteller level (the presentation of the narrative to the audience). The speech acts in this story display a clash of imaginations, with Eve and Yhwh on one side and Cain and Lamech on the other. On the story level, Eve and Yhwh imagine the world in ways that resist human sin and violence and that celebrate God’s relationship with humanity. Cain and Lamech reject this notion and choose to focus only on themselves. On the storyteller level, the speech acts of Genesis 4 invite the audience to adopt and celebrate the imaginations of Eve and Yhwh and to reject the imaginations of Cain and Lamech.

要有该隐:创世记 4 中的想象冲突

本文通过将创世记 4 中的演讲作为言语行为来探索,有助于对该隐故事的持续讨论。调查将集中在两个叙事层次的分析上,故事层次(角色的观点)和讲故事的层次(向观众呈现叙事)。这个故事中的言语行为表现出想象的冲突,一边是夏娃和耶和华,另一边是该隐和拉麦。在故事层面,夏娃和耶和华以抵制人类罪恶和暴力并庆祝上帝与人类关系的方式想象世界。该隐和拉麦拒绝了这个想法,并选择只关注自己。在讲故事的层面上,创世记第 4 章的言语行为邀请观众接受和庆祝夏娃和耶和华的想象力,拒绝该隐和拉麦的想象力。
