The memory of a people II
Importance ofmemory in an oral culture.Mnemotechnia : poetry, rythm, narrative structure

Historical framework of the books of Holy
Scripture
Bible text: long history (we do not say that the Bible
was dictated by God like the Coran)
Nehemiah 8,1 : after the Exile (587-538 BC)
the people remembers listening to the book ofthe Law of Moses that the Lord had given to Israel .
The book of Moses is the memory of Israel.
Scripture : book of the people of God, kept in theTemple.
