Redeeming and Redemption in Biblical and Qumran Psalms and Prayers

Abstract

ABSTRACT The article investigates the metaphorical use of the terminology of redemption, involving the verb הדּפּ and its nominal derivatives, in liturgical language in the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls, applying the understanding of metaphor developed in the context of Conceptual Integration theory; Psalm 49 and passages from the Qumran Hodayot are singled out as examples.
