This chapter explores the relevance of semantics and the art of verbal and literary expression for interpreting Old Testament narratives. Texts from Genesis 16 and 38, and more extensively 2 Samuel 7, are examined for examples of wordplay, distinctive vocabulary such as that employed by the Deuteronomistic writers, and intertextual references to other books in the Old Testament. The name Ishmael is the subject of a wordplay that indicates God has heard the plea of Hagar his mother. In Genesis 38 the names Er and Perez are briefly examined for their contribution to the plot of an heir for the patriarch Judah. The several uses of the Hebrew words for “house” and “name” in 2 Samuel 7 are discussed in the context of traditions about the rule of King David over Israel.
