LIGHT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

LIGHT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT is the second volume of Mony Almalech’s Biblical Hermeneutic project. The tools of etymology, comparative linguistics, textual analysis and modern scientific theories and methods are applied to study the subject of colour in the Bible. It is a popular view that the Bible is God’s word that exudes light. Mony Almalech analyses the 25 Hebrew roots denoting light and purity and the impossible task of translating them into a Indo-European language. The language picture of the world in Biblical Hebrew is exposed, allowing an in-depth interpretation of the text’s meaning which is often novel to a European reader. The facts about the text are not only presented as linguistic phenomena and translation issues, but are also complemented by theological, physicochemical, cultural, historical and semiotic aspects.
Key words and phrases: angelology; types of windows; types of linen; God’s throne; what is a psalm; fire as a type of light; semantic transformations of light

The Path to Thyself

Since ancient times the eternal spiritual world has been sending via its messengers vital light to humanity. Its rays can be traced as a “thread of silver” in the sacred books of the world’s major religions. Although modified later by zealous copiers and followers, the eternal light can still be seen by the unbiased eye and the loving heart.
This is a parable about life, about the trials and hardships the seeker experiences along the path to his own spiritual self.
A “Prince Nameless” lives, perhaps unnoticed, in each of us as a spark of the eternal spiritual sun, eager to be discovered.
