Summary:
Raanan S. Boustan zeigt, dass die Verfasser von Hekhalot Rabbati einen Ursprungsmythos für die ihnen eigene mystische Praxis des himmlischen Aufstiegs konstruierten, indem sie die Geschichte von den zehn Märtyrern umarbeiteten. Die Annahme, der Schlüssel zu Israels künftiger Erlösung sei das sühnende Selbstopfer, wird abgelöst durch die Vorstellung, dass dem Merkavah-Mystiker die vermittelnde Funktion des Märtyrers zukommt.
