Indirect Literary Dependency
The identification of an extended parallel between Deut. 7:9 and Amulet 1 suggests literary dependence between these two texts. Deut. 7:9 is commonly regarded as Decalogue interpretation (Exod. 20:9, Deut. 6:10). Granted a literary link between the amulet and Deut. 7:9, the direction of influence might be suggested as follows: 1) Exod. 20:9, 2) Deut. 6:10, 3) Deut. 7:9, 4) Ketef Hinnom amulet 1.

Famous quotes containing the words indirect, literary and/or dependency:
“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The literary wiseacres prognosticate in many languages, as they have throughout so many centuries, setting the stage for new haut monde in letters and making up the public’s mind.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
