This book offers a fresh, systematic, and comprehensive examination of the word in those biblical and post-biblical passages where it supposedly carries its primary topographical sense. Although the word is used in this way in only a handful of its attestations, they are sufficiently numerous and contextually diverse to yield sound systematic, rather than ad hoc, conclusions as to its semantic content. Special attention is paid to its likely Semitic and unlikely Greek cognates, pertinent literary, compositional, and text-critical matters, and the ideological and iconographical ambiance of each occurrence.Barrick, W. Boyd is the author of 'Bmh As Body Language A Lexical and Iconographical Study of the Word Bmh When Not a Reference to Cultic Phenomena in Biblical and Post-biblical Hebrew', published 2007 under ISBN 9780567026583 and ISBN 0567026582.
