The First Book of Maccabees – although belongs to the historical books of the Old Testament – also has an important theological value. The issue ofthe image of God, outlined in this article, is one out of the many theological themes presented in that work. This image – as it is clear from the analysis of the text of 1 Macc – was presented by the biblical author in the context of historical events which constituted, for the hagiographer, the space of God’s activity, through which God let Himself known. The featured image of God is undoubtedly an expression of faith of the hagiographer and of the community to which he belonged. This is evidenced by terms referring to God (Heaven, He, You etc.), which very strongly emphasize His transcendence. As it is clear from the analysis of texts, the biblical author explicitly referred to the entire theological tradition of the Old Testament and therefore presented God, who helped Israel in the whole history, also in Hellenistic times as punishing for unrighteousness, listening to prayers, supporting and saving His people from its enemies, as well as taking vengeance on them.

Proponowany artykuł porusza znaną w Biblii tematykę języka z seksualnej sfery ludzkiego życia, lecz nie w znanych i zwykle używanych terminach typowych dla tego obszaru w Biblii zarówno hebrajskiej jak i greckiej. Jedyny natomiast raz pojawia się w Septuagincie czasownik dzeugidzō (1 Mch 1,15), którego użycie musi zastanawiać, skoro nie ma swych odpowiedników w innych tekstach natchnionych. Odkrycie jednego z tekstów pozabiblijnych, zawierających ów termin a także pojawienie się tego terminu w żydowskich wersjach Biblii greckiej z II w. naszej ery, rzuca pomocne światło na zrozumienie sensu czasownika w tekście Pierwszej Księgi Machabejskiej. Przeprowadzona egzegeza pozwala ukazać ostrość oceny postępowania zwolenników hellenizacji Judei, dokonanej przez hagiografa.

The present article deals with a linguistic issue well known in the Bible but not usually overtly present in the terminology of Hebrew and Greek Scripture. It concerns the sexual sphere of human life and is expressed by the verb zeugizō (1 Macc 1:15). This term appears only once in the Septuagint and is not featured in any of the other inspired books. However, the discovery of a non-biblical text which includes the term in question, as well as the inclusion of the verb by the Jewish authors of the Greek Bible from the 2nd century AD, shed important light on the sense of the verb in the First Book of the Maccabees. The exegesis carried out reveals just how harsh was the hagiographer’s critique of, and judgment upon, the supporters of the Hellenization of Judea.
