Ráchelin pláč: Intertextuální vazby mezi Jer 31,15 a Mt 2,18
Rachel’s Lament: Intertextual Links between Jeremiah 31:15 and Matthew 2:18

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the quotation concerning the weeping Rachel (Jer 31:15) in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt 2:18). It compares the Hebrew and Greek versions of the verse within the so‑called Book of Consolation (Jer 30–31) and considers the different interpretations of the expression ברמה (“in Ramah” / “on high”). It also takes into accounts later rabbinic texts in which Rachel is portrayed as an intercessor for the exiles and for all of Israel. Although this motif is not explicit in Matthew’s Gospel, the quotation forms part of a carefully constructed intertextual composition that points to the broader framework of Jeremiah’s Book of Consolation and to its implicit theme of Rachel’s plea.
