Tanakh OT The superscription of the Book of Zephaniah attributes its authorship to Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah , in the days of King Josiah son of Amon of Judah Amon of Kingdom of Judah Judah 1 1, New Revised Standard Version NRSV . All that is known of Zephaniah comes from the text. The superscription of the book is lengthier than most and contains two features. The name Cushi, Zephaniah s father, means Ethiopia n . In a society where genealogy was considered extremely important because of Tetragrammaton God s covenant with Abraham and his descendants, the author may have felt compelled to establish his Hebrews Hebrew lineage. The author of Zephaniah does not shrink from condemning the Cushites or Ethiopians. Chapter 2 12 contains a succinct but unequivocal message You also, O Ethiopians, Shall be killed by my sword. Citation needed date May 2011 Some question whether the translation You, also, O Ethiopians Shall be killed by my sword is a good translation, given the fact that Ethiopia is a long way away from Jerusalem. As with many of the other prophets, there is no external evidence to directly associate composition of the book with a prophet by the name of Zephaniah. Some scholars believe that much of the material does not date from the days of King Josiah ca. 640 609 BC , but is actually post monarchic. Three general possibilities are that a person, possibly named Zephaniah, prophesied the words of the book of Zephaniah the general message of a Josianic prophet is conveyed through the book of Zephaniah or the name could have been employed, either during the monarchic or post monarchic period, as a speaking voice , possibly for rhetorical purposes. Although it is possible that a post monarchic author assumed the persona of a monarchic prophet to add credibility to his message, there is no evidence to support such a claim.
