He posits a sharp discontinuity between what the sages considered a valid meaning and our own modern understanding of textual meaning. He argues that the original meaning of the very work "peshat" was actually "context" rather than "literal" meaning, thus explaining the Rabbis' expressions of respect for peshat in the face of their evident unconcern for literal meaning in the text. 606 $aMidrash 615 0$aMidrash. 676 $a221.6088296 700 $aHalivni$b David Weiss$f1927-2022,$01273150 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778718503321 996 $aPeshat and derash$93731972 997 $aUNINA
