This dissertation investigates the role that the Pentateuch has in providing source material for some of the many inner-biblical allusions in Zechariah 9-14. Zechariah scholarship has recognized, for some time, that these chapters are full of allusions to earlier texts and traditions in the Hebrew Bible. Identifying the sources for these uncited allusions is not a matter of consensus at present, especially in chapters 9-14 where the allusions are most prevalent. The goal of this study is to provide data and analysis toward understanding how Deutero-Zechariah utilizes Genesis and Exodus narratives to construct its visions.The thesis in this dissertation is that Zech 9:9-17, 12:1-13:6, and 14:1-21 exhibit a pattern of alluding frequently and significantly to narratives in Genesis and Exodus. This pattern demonstrates how Deutero-Zechariah utilizes stories about the origins of Israel and transforms them into a vision of Jerusalem's future. Recognizing this pattern is critical for exegeting and interpreting Zechariah 9-14. The findings in this dissertation also have implications that affect our understanding of the composition of Deutero-Zechariah, the recognition of inner-biblical allusions in later prophetic texts, and the theological development evident in the Hebrew Bible. Chapter 2 focuses on the history of scholarship which has explored textual relationships in the Hebrew Bible and other literature. The chapter will define and analyze terms such as intertextuality, inner-biblical exegesis, quotation, allusion, echo, Stichworter, Fortschreibung, and similar terms used to describe textual relationships. Additionally, this chapter examines studies in the HB that have used each of these terms. The techniques of the biblical authors certainly vary, but some methods for detecting and assessing allusions prove more helpful than others at describing the phenomena present in HB books.Chapters 3-5 feature close textual analysis of Zechariah 9-14 and its source material. Chapter 3 analyzes a controversial, but vital textual relationship between Zech 9:9-10 and Genesis 49. Chapter 3 also examines the proposals that Zech 9:11-17 alludes to the Joseph story and to Exodus 24. Scholars have also proposed some allusions to pentateuchal texts in Zechariah 10, which leads to a discussion of how Zech 10:1-12 fits within the pattern of alluding and within the overall composition of Deutero-Zechariah. The allusions in Zechariah 9-10 help to build the case for seeing a larger program to incorporate Genesis and Exodus narratives into the vision of the future in Zechariah 9-14. Chapter 4 examines references to the Pentateuch in Zech 12:1-13:6. This chapter will consider the usage of creation language and motifs in Zech 12:1, with Isaiah 42 and Genesis 1-2 as likely source material. This allusion to both texts presents an interesting style of alluding that appears elsewhere in Deutero-Zechariah, as well-the combining of allusions to prophetic and pentateuchal texts interwoven in Zechariah. A text that scholarship has rarely studied as an allusion occurs in Zech 12:6. This dissertation will here present new textual and contextual evidence for an inner-biblical allusion to Genesis 15 in Zech 12:6. The pattern of alluding to Genesis in chapter 12 continues into Zech 13:4-6 with a references to Abel and Jacob.Chapter 5 concludes the textual analysis portion of the dissertation with an analysis of verbal links between Zechariah 14 and the Pentateuch. First, Zech 14:6 reverses how the cosmos functions according to Genesis 8. This allusion to Genesis begins to establish a vision of the final destiny of humanity and the cosmos. Next, this chapter explores the relationship between Zechariah 14 and Exodus narratives. Zechariah 14 and its reliance on Exodus material-verbally, contextually, and theologically-has been largely overlooked in scholarship. Exodus material provides Zechariah 14 with important images and ideas, including the role of plagues in judgment on the nations, and Egypt's role in the history and future of God's people. Such connections recall earlier allusions to Exodus in Zechariah 9 (and perhaps also Zechariah 3). The connection between Zechariah 9 and 14 provides bookends to the vision of Jerusalem's future.Chapter 6 evaluates the textual data that chapters 3-5 present from a broader perspective. Beyond honing the interpretation in specific Zechariah passages, this chapter considers what implications there are for reading Genesis and Exodus as dialogue partners with Zechariah. What does it mean that Zechariah 9-14 relies so heavily on pentateuchal narratives to provide a vision of the culmination of human history? This level of analysis moves the project into the realm of biblical theology. The purpose in studying such allusions, especially a large accumulation to related texts, is precisely to examine what the larger effect might be on the later text. Chapter 6 also summarizes other implications of this study in the realms of exegesis, Zechariah scholarship, biblical theology, and literary analysis in the HB. This study also gives insight into how later authors working in the HB saw and interpreted the HB canon, its direction, and its message for future generations. Appendix A provides a survey of the NT texts that use Zechariah itself for source material. Several NT books do much more than quote the book of Zechariah, and in some cases Zechariah allusions help structure sections of NT books. Observations in the Gospels, Jude, and Revelation will be of interest to HB and NT scholars alike. The Appendix concludes with seven helpful conclusions that summarize the contributions that Zechariah makes to NT texts.
