She also examines the tradition of interpretation for these words in the early versions (Septuagint, Vulgate, Targum, Peshitta), modern translations, and standard dictionaries, revealing that meanings are not always straightforward and that additional work is needed in biblical semantics and lexicography. The traditional approach to comparative Semitics, with its over-simplistic assumption of semantic equivalence in cognates, is also challenged. The surprising conclusion of the work is that there is no single concept of silence in the biblical world; rather, it spans multiple semantic fields".Studies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics;volume 100.Hebrew languageSemanticsSilence in the BibleHebrew languageSemantics.Silence in the Bible.492.4/0143Noll Sonja1718764NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910956732003321The semantics of silence in biblical Hebrew4115987UNINA
