Metaphor in Biblical Poetry
Understanding how metaphors are used in the Bible is an essential tool for reading biblical poetry. Anytime someone describes one thing to describe another thing, they are using metaphorical thinking whether they realize it or not. Metaphors are everywhere in the Bible and in our everyday speech. In this video, we’ll explore this crucial aspect of biblical language.

I'm surely enjoying your videos as I read through the You Version of the Bible in a year. I've read the Bible through every year and your plan is informative and interesting! Thank you.
Watching this again(xy) times..and never fails to quicken me. Thought about all the water metaphors we have….its sink or swim, we're drowning in.., trying to keep my head above water…but until we think about people like that,then wow the psalms are elevated in their passion! Thanks so much!! I'm over flowing with gratitude🐳🤗😊
These videos are helping me so much with my bible study. And understanding the word. Thank you for making them. I found you guys off the Bible app plans & it’s been such a blessing to my walk.
You know what? I have spent time in the Middle East and that’s their life. I’ve seen Metaphoric statements in their online comments. (Google translate) and I keep saying g to myself that doesn’t make sense.
am 10 episodes deep… best bible study..
I've seen allot of your guys video's and they're great, but there is a fine line of understanding the metaphors of scripture and turning anything and everything into metaphors, Allot of scripture is Very real and literal, for example, there is no metaphor in God creating dry land and calling it Earth, Or The Void,-Chaos of The unfinished World, These are Very Literal, Jesus healing the blind and Calming the storms are not metaphors, They are Literal miracles Of Jesus who is Much more than Just a master Teacher and Prophet, He is God in the flesh. who was worshiped and acknowledged by His disciples. What you guys are doing, is turning Everything into metaphors and denying The very real Acts of Jesus that prove and proclaim him as GOD IN THE FLESH, you're doing nothing less than engaging in Ideology , which is A Sin, These Video's Then Are Satanic, full of sinful ideological misinterpretation of God's Holy Word, By the way, no modern translation, Is God's word it is a perversion of it, and you use them, to mislead his people, You Won't get away with it, those who mislead God's people are in for a rude awakening Be warned, you cannot take, a perversion of God's word and twist it to mean whatever you want, and then teach others, God I not Mocked, you think you can avoid his wrath, Keep Dreaming, you built your house on sand, Get ready for it's great fall. BE WARNED REPENT,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teaching me God's word as well as English language 😊. May the Lord pour His cup of blessing upon your families 🙏🏽 ❤
Y'all are awesome!! As our world grows darker by the day, digging deeper into the Word really is my source of strength and peace!! God bless you and yours!
A search for "free-will" metaphors in the poetry of the Holy Scriptures brought me here in prepping for my Sunday School lesson.
The animations here are so impressive. Absolutely beautiful.

Bible Project should be a class in common school, since it has become a great teacher of the communication in religious texts. Thank you, God bless you all with lives of abundance and clarity.

So, is it safe to say that when Jesus calmed the storm and walked on water also means he was in full control of the political chaos happening around him?

Why would people spend their time on Netflix when there are BibleProject videos to watch?
Thank you for the good lesson on metaphors in Biblical poetry.
The Lord Jesus Christ loves you all and everyone who always believes in him
so cool… these really make my evenings lately. Thnx team. Bless up. 🕊🔥❤️
I've looked around your databases looking for your current belief on lgbt because of :51 [looks gay not gonna lie] and cant find any current information on what you believe about homosexiality. Does the Bible Project still believe its a sin?
Wish this was in spanish to share it with my family!
God didn't just metaphorically create the world though. He really did. Just like there really was a flood. But you think the world he created was NOT created in the midst of the waters and the earth actually moves through the firmament which is not firm but nothingness because men say so? He creates the metaphor of the earth being on foundations, but just for fun, he thought he'd rocket us around the nothingness in real life?
Did anyone else make a connection between the chaos-sea metaphor and Jesus calming the stormy Sea of Galilee, by His Word?

The Bible is an amazing Cosmos
Thank you so much, John & Tim for these EXCELLENT videos that help make so much sense of God's Words!!👍👍👏
I really like these videos, none of us will have an excuse for not reading or listening to the Bible, it's so much information to help you study the Bible with the Holy Spirit as your Guide and with prayerfulness.❤🥰Thank you!!! The Bible project
A: God is involved 🙂
We love to see platonic love when discussing affection
holy crap. i have read bible for years and didnt see that "Rock" part.
Please don’t accept this as nitpicking, but I’m an educator and it’s important for the kids that are watching to understand that there’s a diff between simile and metaphor.
I love poetry
eye opener 😍
You lot teach about poetry better than any English teacher can
