- W2502126742 abstract "In Genesis 40 Joseph interprets the butler’s dream: the three vine branches are three days; after three days he would be restored to his office as Pharaoh’s cupbearer. But the Rabbis in commenting on this chapter creatively enlarged Joseph’s interpretive range; instead of the single exposition of the dream given in the biblical text, they proposed at least eight alternative interpretations, all of them different and all of them valid. Joseph, seen as the midrashist par excellence, knew them all but kept quiet because these interpretations were intended not for the butler but for different audiences!1 This, it may be noted, is the nature of “midrash.” The text becomes the point of departure for a multiplicity of interpretations none of which is held to be final or exclusive. In this midrash sharply differs from allegory; there is no single “correct” midrash. Essentially, as Max Kadushin has argued, each midrash implies “that other interpretations are possible.” This he defines as “the principle of indeterminacy.” David Stern finds “indeterminacy” (with its post-modern connotations) misleading. He prefers to speak of “midrashic polysemy.” But all agree that this mode of exegesis is marked by openness and bounty — a capacity to include multiple and even contradictory meanings.2" @default.
