Resumen (es)

Más de la mitad de la población mundial vive en ciudades y la tendencia es que el porcentaje aumente a corto plazo. Es necesario fomentar ciudades sostenibles e inclusivas. Aunque el concepto bíblico de “ciudad” no se corresponde exactamente con el actual, la Biblia muestra una relativa preocupación por las condiciones de vida de las ciudades y por cómo los israelitas debían vivir en ellas. Este trabajo analiza tres aspectos vinculados a la ciudad desde la panorámica del libro del Deuteronomio y desde la interpretación que hace la arqueología de la vivienda conocida como “casa de cuatro habitaciones”, considerada típica de Israel durante el período del Hierro II, correspondiente aproximadamente al período veterotestamentario de la historia de Israel: el ethos supuestamente igualitario de la “casa de cuatro habitaciones”; la integración de las personas desplazadas, extranjeras o nacionales, según el libro del Deuteronomio, y el imaginario idealizado de los espacios urbanos de la Tierra Prometida reflejado en el Deuteronomio.

Palabras clave (es): Deuteronomio, casa de cuatro habitaciones, desplazado vulnerable, ciudad, imaginario de la Tierra Prometida

Resumen (en)

More than the half of the world's population lives in cities and the trend is for the percentage to increase in the short term. It is necessary to promote sustainable and inclusive cities. Although the biblical concept of "city" does not correspond exactly to the current one, the Bible shows a relative concern for the living conditions of the cities and for how the Israelites should live in them. This work analyzes three aspects related to the city from the point of view of the book of Deuteronomy and from the interpretation made by the archeology of the house known as the “four-room house”, considered typical of Israel during the Iron II period, corresponding approximately to the Old Testament period of Israel's history: the supposedly egalitarian ethos of the “four-room house”; the integration of displaced persons, foreign or national, according to the book of Deuteronomy, and the idealized imagery of the urban spaces of the Promised Land reflected in Deuteronomy.

Palabras clave (en): Deuteronomy, four-room house, vulnerable displaced, city, Promised Land imaginary

Resumen (pt)

Mais da metade da população mundial vive em cidades e a tendência é que o percentual aumente no curto prazo. É preciso promover cidades sustentáveis ​​e inclusivas. Embora o conceito bíblico de "cidade" não corresponda exatamente ao atual, a Bíblia mostra uma relativa preocupação com as condições de vida das cidades e como os israelitas deveriam viver nelas. Este trabalho analisa três aspectos relacionados à cidade a partir da visão panorâmica do livro de Deuteronômio e da interpretação feita pela arqueologia da casa conhecida como “casa de quatro cômodos”, considerada típica de Israel durante o período Ferro II, correspondendo aproximadamente ao período do Antigo Testamento da história de Israel: o ethos supostamente igualitário da “casa de quatro cômodos”; a integração dos deslocados, estrangeiros ou nacionais, segundo o livro do Deuteronômio, e o imaginário idealizado dos espaços urbanos da Terra Prometida refletido no Deuteronômio.

Palabras clave (pt): Deuteronômio, casa de quatro cômodos, deslocados vulneráveis, cidade, imaginário da Terra Prometida
