The figure of the prophet holds a distinctive place in the book of Jeremiah. Extensive prose narratives detailing events in the life of Jeremiah invite readers to interpret the book in light of its literary presentation of the prophet. Within this presentation, a central place is assigned to Jeremiah's ancestral ties to Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. Despite a growing consensus that Benjamin survived as a salient identity category throughout the compositional horizon of the book of Jeremiah, the significance of the references to Anathoth and Benjamin that occur throughout the book has not been systematically examined. Through literary and tradition-historical analysis of the prose traditions in Jeremiah, and with insight from Social Identity Theory (SIT), this study attempts to trace the development of the Benjamin traditions in the book and evaluate the role of intergroup competition between Benjamin and Judah as a generative force in the compositional history of the prose traditions.The presentation of Jeremiah as a prophet from Benjamin has undergone significant diachronic developments. The locus of this tradition belongs to the earliest compositional layers of the prose biographical narratives. These early biographical traditions are marked by an in-group orientation toward Benjamin and bear traces of 6th-century intergroup conflict between Benjamin and Judaean. Through Jeremiah's oracles, Judah is categorically "othered," while the Babylonian-sanctioned administration at Mizpah receives divine authorization through the words and emblematic actions of the prophet. The Benjamin-based scribes who composed these narratives drew upon archival documents from the time of Jeremiah, but creatively utilized their source material to construct a literary presentation of the prophet shaped by their own socio-political agenda. These Benjamin-oriented traditions were later appropriated by Judaean scribes within the repatriated golah community of Persian-period Yehud, who dramatically reconfigured the socio-political concerns of the early tradition, erasing the imprint of Benjamin identity politics and recasting Jeremiah as a Judaean among Judaeans.This study contributes to a fuller understanding of the textual history of the book of Jeremiah and highlights the prominent role of social-identity dynamics in the shaping of biblical traditions.
