In fact, the recon- struction of redactional activity and ‘Fortschreibung’ as well as inner-biblical interpretation are heavily dependent on the perception of intertextual rela- tionships. But therein lies the problem. Has the perceived relationship indeed been established by the author of one of the biblical texts in question (aes- thetics of production), or does it merely lie in the eye of the beholder (aes- thetics of reception)? Two competing claims regarding an intertextual relationship of Joshua 2 are singled out for discussion.
