Numerous studies have sought to understand the nature ofeducation and the extent of literacy in ancient Israel, but none has asked what the ancient Israelites thought about teaching. This study is the first to ask how they conceived of the teaching process. It furthers our understanding of the ancient Israelites concept of teaching, and provides a model for semantic studies of ancient texts grounded in cognitive linguistic theory.

Acknowledgments

This book is a revision of my doctoral thesis, which I began as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was privileged to be among Michael V. Foxs last group of students before his retirement, and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to learn from his careful and thoughtful reading of the biblical text. The demands he placed on his students will, I hope, result in a lifetime of fruitful work for me in biblical studies. I am profoundly grateful to my thesis supervisor, Prof. Cynthia L. Miller-Naud, whom I followed all the way from Madison in the upper Midwest, USA, to Bloemfontein in South Africa when she transitioned from the UW to the University of the Free State. Her high standards of scholarship and professionalism have set a bar I can only strive to reach. I am grateful to Prof. Miller-Naud and to the University of the Free State for awarding me a Prestige Bursary in 2011, which enabled me to finish my degree.

I owe special thanks to Rolf Altwein, Dave Schultz, and Elazar Brandt for generously sharing their language expertise with me along the way. Heartfelt gratitude goes to Emmylou Grosser for being the best of colleagues and friends.

My deepest thanks go to my parents, Dr. Richard and Nancy Widder, who have always believed I could do anything (even when I couldnt) and have modeled the kind of perseverance completing this book required from my first days of graduate school to publication. Their love and support every step of the arduous way made giving up unthinkable. With all the love I have, I dedicate this effort to them.

Finally, being a student of the biblical text is both exhilarating and humbling, an ongoing formative process in which I am overwhelmed by the teacher par excellence, the one who has carefully created the conditions in which my own learning can take place. Soli deo gloria.
