Synopsis

This book offers a new explanation for the willingness of the early Sages to attribute to scripture meanings nowhere suggested in the text itself. Halvini contends that the consciousness of what is meant by the meaning of a biblical text differs from period to period. He documents his thesis with detailed analysis of an extensive variety of passages from talmudic and medieval literature.
