In continuity with the previous BETL volumes on biblical metaphors, namely Metaphor in the Hebrew Bible edited by Pierre Van Hecke(BETL 187; 2005), and Metaphors in the Psalms co-edited by PierreVan Hecke and Antje Labahn (BETL 231; 2010), this third volume intendsto contribute to and foster biblical research on metaphors by focusingon a phenomenon that has only received scant attention thus far, namelythe relationship and interplay between different metaphors in the textsof the Hebrew Bible. Biblical metaphors very often come in chains, especially in poetry, in which individual metaphors may interact in anumber of ways, e.g. they may modify, reverse, shift, and evencontradict or reinforce the previous ones. Biblical metaphors oftencreate families of metaphors that form a genuine repertoire of images tothink and talk about a specific target domain from multiple viewpoints.The same source domain often inspires clusters of thoughts about a widevariety of realities. The same root metaphor may run throughout anentire book or a section of a book, emerging on the surface level of thetext in many ways and interacting with other metaphors along the textcontinuum. Networks of Metaphors in the Hebrew Bible investigatesbiblical metaphors not as isolated events of discourse but asconstantly intertwining and shaping a network of multiple interactionsbetween the figures.
