Abstract

Near Eastern Studies Biblical Studies Jewish History Jewish Studies Language and or Literature, Translation Religious History Religious Literature Religious Studies
The present study comprises a philological examination of the Biblical Hebrew term šninɔ. The contextual semantics, the ancient translations, and the re-identification of the verbal root ŠNN as a by-form of ŠNY ‘to recount’ demonstrate that šninɔ may be realigned as related to this root and translated as a ‘cautionary tale’.
