Abstract
La imagen del silencio de Dios frecuentemente se entiende de manera negativa, como ausencia o abandono. Sin embargo, el silencio divino en los textos veterotestamentarios tiene muchos matices distintos y puede representar una pre-sencia misericordiosa más que una ausencia cruel. Este artículo examina el silencio divino en Sofonías 3,17, que evidencia la interpretación positiva del silencio como misericordia divina. Para entender la imagen, primero hay que recurrir a un estudio semántico del verbo hebreo que expresa el silencio en este versículo: yaḥărîš.
