Il s'agit ici de traverser la Genèse comme qui traverserait le Pacifique à la rame : en profitant de chaque vague. Le livre est volumineux ? Comme son lecteur n'est pas obligé de le lire d'un trait et en suivant, mais peut l'aborder par telle ou telle page – la Création, mais aussi bien Abraham, Noé ou Joseph... –, chaque section fournit un regard sur l'ensemble et l'on n'a pas économisé les reprises. Paradoxalement, la lecture en devient plus confortable. Un jour, les belles traditions historiques, des légendes, voire de vieux mythes, ont été rassemblés pour les Judéens revenus d'exil. On pouvait être tenté de réveiller en eux l'orgueil nationaliste et, par exemple, le désir d'indépendance ou celui d'une royauté. Mais le livre de la Genèse leur propose au contraire un tableau des origines des Nations et d'Israël plus nuancé. L'homme est blessé. Israël est blessé, et si l'on annonce son rôle parmi toutes les Nations, ce sera celui du service : Joseph et ses frères finissent exilés en Égypte. Les rois désirent deux choses, un bon territoire et un fils aîné ? La Genèse écarte l'un et l'autre au profit d'une sorte d'abdication : elle veut purger en l'homme la volonté de puissance. Le vide ainsi obtenu est alors rempli de l'heureuse Présence de Dieu et du frère. Ce que les Prophètes disent d'une voix terrible, la Genèse le monnaie avec lenteur, par des récits à la fois populaires et sages. Et les vieilles légendes, les mythes, les souvenirs historiques sont reliés, patinés, unifiés par une conscience littéraire très sûre. C'est précisément cette finesse, cet art simple et subtil en même temps, que « Le partage de minuit » voudrait donner à saisir

Rife with incest, adultery, rape, and murder, the biblical story of Jacob and his children must have troubled ancient readers. By any standard, this was a family with problems. Jacob's oldest son Reuben is said to have slept with his father's concubine Bilhah. The next two sons, Simeon and Levi, tricked the men of a nearby city into undergoing circumcision, and then murdered all of them as revenge for the rape of their sister. Judah, the fourth son, had sexual relations with his own daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, jealous of their younger sibling Joseph, the brothers conspired to kill him; they later relented and merely sold him into slavery. These stories presented a particular challenge for ancient biblical interpreters. After all, Jacob's sons were the founders of the nation of Israel and ought to have been models of virtue. In The Ladder of Jacob, renowned biblical scholar James Kugel retraces the steps of ancient biblical interpreters as they struggled with such problems. Kugel reveals how they often fixed on a little detail in the Bible's wording to "deduce" something not openly stated in the narrative. They concluded that Simeon and Levi were justified in killing all the men in a town to avenge the rape of their sister, and that Judah, who slept with his daughter-in-law, was the unfortunate victim of alcoholism. These are among the earliest examples of ancient biblical interpretation (midrash). They are found in retellings of biblical stories that appeared in the closing centuries BCE--in the Book of Jubilees, the Aramaic Levi Document, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, and other noncanonical works. Through careful analysis of these retellings, Kugel is able to reconstruct how ancient interpreters worked. The Ladder of Jacob is an artful, compelling account of the very beginnings of biblical interpretation.
