A basic assumption is that the biblical source text serves as a frame of reference for the semantic analysis of a particular word. The text provides an integrative semantic and pragmatic framework within which a biblical term must be investigated with reference to its wider socio-cultural setting.engContextual Biblical StudiesTranslation StudiesLomweBook of RuthMozambique230bookurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-opus4-50966
