The Myth of the Edomite Kings In Zoharic Literature

The Myth of the Edomite Kings in Zoharic Literature: Creation and Revelation in the Idrot Texts of the Zohar, by Avishar Har-Shefi אבישר הר שפי: 'מלכין קדמאין': הבריאה וההתגלות בספרות האידרות של הזוהר (Sources and Studies in the Literature of Jewish Mysticism 41), 264 pp., in Hebrew, ISBN 1-933379-40-5.
The Idrot sections of the Zohar lie at the heart of the Zoharic corpus. In these texts Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai and the comrades recount the Account of Creation and reveal its deep secrets. This study analyzes the various textual versions of these discussions and focuses on the myth of the Edomite Kings, the myth of the worlds that were destroyed. By analyzing these texts, the depths of these myths reveal the character of the Idrot and offer meaningful interpretations.
