Resumen


El presente artículo analiza el discurso sobre la naturaleza procreadora de las mujeres tal y como aparece reflejado en la lengua hebrea bíblica. Haciendo uso de una perspectiva de género y una metodología filológica, se estudian diversas raíces ( עק''ר ,שכ''ל ,יל''ד ) y una expresión idiomática (- יל''ד על ברכ ) que continúan siendo objeto de debate académico hasta la fecha y que aparecen empleadas para describir – y prescribir– el rol reproductivo de la mujer israelita. La nominalización de la maternidad, su ausencia y el recurso a la explotación de esclavas como solución ante la falta de descendencia son los temas que esta investigación pretende abordar. Se dedica especial atención a la semántica del lexema ,עקרה discutiendo su traducción convencional de ‘estéril’ y realizando una propuesta que, si bien no completamente novedosa, nunca ha sido sometida a una argumentación minuiciosa.
