Dictionary of Nature Imagery of the Bible

Dictionary of Nature Imagery of the Bible

Using DNI Bible

The DNI Bible project is interdisciplinary in its approach, and focuses on the nature images encapsulated within the literary compositions of the Hebrew Bible. The Dictionary is easily searchable by the name of the item in Hebrew characters, in transcription, and by its English translation. Each item takes its place within one of the five ecological fields: fauna, flora, landscape characteristics, climate systems, water sources.

How do I search an item in DNI?

Go to Dictionary, choose category, sub-category, and type the name of the item in the search box. You may search your item in Hebrew, in transcription, or in its English translation.

OR

Through the Homepage, go directly to one of the five ecological fields: fauna, flora, landscape characteristics, climate systems, and water sources. Items in each of the fields are then presented alphabetically according to the Hebrew names.

Each of the fields is structured by subcategories, by items, and followed by a short Index of Terms, to allow further acquaintance with the professional terminology of each ecological field.
