»Zion wird man Mutter nennen« Die Zionstradition in Psalm 87 und ihre Rezeption in der Septuaginta

This study interprets Ps 87 as a Zion song, which shifts the tradition's focus to universalistic claims about the nations' citizenship in Zion. As this thought is unique within the Hebrew Bible, it has been highly disputed among scholars. The psalm's translation in the Septuagint, however, confirms the idea that Zion is mother to the nations and deepens the female personification of the city of God.
