Forti. 330 $aAny treatment of the figurative and symbolic function of animal imagery in biblical literature requires special attention to its contextual meaning and cultural evaluation. The present study aims to demonstrate how this is particularly true of the Book of Proverbs, in which faunal imageries serve as a didactic means for delving into the more obvious truths of human behavior. This book makes a methodological contribution toward understanding the didactic function of Proverb's animal imageries by offering an ongoing three-pronged analysis: a. Zoological identification and literary perception of the animal in the Bible; born Hermeneutic dynamics between the specific animal simile and its literary adaptation; c. Rhetorical function of the animal imagery within the conceptual framework of the Book of Proverbs. 410 0$aSupplements to Vetus Testamentum ;$vv. 118. 606 $aSymbolism in the Bible 606 $aAnimals in the Bible 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSymbolism in the Bible. 615 0$aAnimals in the Bible. 676 $a223/.7064 700 $aForti$b Tova$0874694 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454087503321 996 $aAnimal imagery in the book of Proverbs$91952930 997 $aUNINA
