Book: If I Forget You, Jerusalem!
Chapter: 2. Emphatic Time in the Old Testament
Blurb:
Time is concept with more than one meaning. We have the precise reckoning of time, e.g., when does a train leave or arrive, and we have different idea about the time as the right moment of something. The second use is also a narrative phenomenon when time is used to structure a narrative. We find ideas about time in the Bible where we also find examples of the importance of imagined time to create history.
