Multiple recurrent phrases have been identified in the so-called Deuteronomistic History describing Israelâs obedience/disobedience with respect to the Sinaitic covenant. One major set of phrases utilizes verbs of motion to construe Israelâs covenant relationship with Yhwh. The conceptual metaphor theory of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson provides the theoretical tools necessary to understand these deuteronomic phrases as instantiations of a single conceptual metaphor wherein Israel understood and experienced their relationship with Yhwh as a journey. This article examines and coordinates these recurrent phrases through the lens provided by Lakoff and Johnsonâs theory, detailing how the spatial configurations of each verb and its construct are mapped onto a relational reality. This article closes with the brief suggestion that the resonance of this particular conceptual metaphor may have taken hold due to the significance of the exodus event in Israelâs historical consciousness.â©

âGeorge Lakoff and Mark Johnson, Metaphors We Live By (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003). For auxiliary treatments from the authors, see Lakoff and Johnson, âConceptual Metaphor in Everyday Language,â in Mark Johnson (ed.), Philosophical Perspectives on Metaphor (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1981), pp. 286-325; Lakoff, âThe Contemporary Theory of Metaphor,â in Andrew Ortony (ed.), Metaphor and Thought (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2nd edn, 1993), pp. 202-251; Lakoff and Mark Turner, More than Cool Reason: A Field Guide to Poetic Metaphor (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989).

Jane Doull; Sheffield: JSOT, 1981), pp. 80-81, 89-90; Gerhard von Rad, Old Testament Theology (New York: Harper, 1962), vol. 1, pp. 334-47, esp. 338-39; Frank Moore Cross, Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the History of the Religion of Israel (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1997), pp. 274-89, esp. 281 and 284; Meredith G. Kline, The Structure of Biblical Authority (Eugene: Wipe & Stock, 1997), pp. 53-57.

âLakoff and Johnson, Metaphors, p. 5. For the history of the development of the study of metaphor see Mark Johnson, âIntroduction: Metaphor in the Philosophical Tradition,â in Johnson (ed.), Philosophical Perspectives on Metaphor, pp. 1-47; Andrew Ortony, âMetaphor, Language and Thought,â in Andrew Ortony (ed)., Metaphor and Thought (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2nd edn, 1993), pp. 1-16.
âLakoff writes, âA sentence like âthe balloon went upâ is not metaphorical, nor is the old philosopherâs favorite âthe cat is on the mat.â But as soon as one gets away from concrete physical experience and starts talking about abstractions or emotions, metaphorical understanding is the normâ (Lakoff, âContemporary Theory,â p. 205). See also Van Hecke, âWalking,â p. 39 n. 3.
âLakoff and Johnson, Metaphors, p. 59, emphasis original.
âYohanan Aharoni, The Land of the Bible: A Historical Geography (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1979), p. 45.
âSee also G.R. Driver, âReflections on Recent Articlesâ JBL 73 (1954), pp. 131-36. Here Driver attempts to distinguish between ××קש and פ×. He writes of the latter that it is âan instrument for shutting in,â and of the former that it is âone for striking down the victim.â While the exact contours of the items seem unclear, the general function within the metaphor of hindering progression or harming stands.
âSee also Weinfeld, Deuteronomic School, pp. 332-41 for the various phrases used throughout the DH to express âobservance of the Law and loyalty to the covenantâ and âdisloyalty.â
