1. Wordplay and narrative techniques in Daniel 5 and 6

Author

Arnold, Bill T.

Subjects
Bible. O.T. Daniel -- Criticism and interpretation, Literature/writing, Philosophy and religion
Abstract

Daniel, chapters five and six, uses wordplay or paronyms not only to achieve literary effect but to reinforce the intended theological meaning. Wordplays are created either through vowel changes (metaphonic paronomasia) or by using a word in more than one sense (antanaclastic paronomasia). Examples include the use of the Hebrew word haphel in chapter five to stress Nebuchadnezzar's blasphemy, and the use of the Hebrew word be'a' as a Leitwort to convey that Daniel has won God's protection against his enemies.
