| Abstract | The study of metaphor in the literature of the biblical prophets is an important chapter in the history of exegesis. Biblical metaphors use the linguistic, rhetorical and poetic effects of the Hebrew language in order to give greater immediacy and intelligibility to the significance of the messages to be transmitted. The extent to which a metaphor is undertood depends on the social and cultural milieu to which it is addressed. The present study is devoted to a close analysis of the metaphors borrowed from the agricultural milieu and from that of the family, in particular the vine and its products, conjugal and filial love and the way they are developed. The vine is an integral part of the landscape of ancient Israel and is certainly the image most widely used to designate Israel as a people. The image of the couple as representative of the relationship between Israel and its God appears for the first time in Hosea (1:31) and is later taken up by other prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. The period during which these messages were transmitted has been submitted to extensive analysis and adds an historical dimension that stretches across a long history right through to the destruction of the first Temple. The sources and documents used are the Hebrew text of the Bible, rabbinical readings and the historico-critical approach. |
