dc.description.abstract	This paper will explore Manasseh’s vulnerability in both narratives in terms of the current reader’s own vulnerability. The paper will start by looking at the basis for vulnerability in terms of Levinas’ “ethical moment”; the prevailing negative understanding of vulnerability in current discourse and vulnerability as part of the human condition. It will then look at the presentation of Manasseh in the Kings narrative and its mirroring in Chronicles.	en
