This process influences the way that commentators interpret the biblical text. This study looks at the Hebrew verb התפ that appears in Hosea 2:16, the Greek verb πλανω that translates התפ in Hosea 2:16, and the Latin verb lacto that translates התפ in Hosea 2:16. This study then looks at the interpretations of Hosea 2:16 by three commentators, Rabbi Shlomo ben Issac (Rashi), Theodore of Mopsuestia, and Nicholas of Lyra. Rashi read the Hebrew text, Theodore read the Greek text, and Nicholas read the Latin text; and each commentator was influenced by the version of the biblical text that he read. Using a cognitive linguistic approach, this study develops a profile-base-cognitive domain relationship for each verb. This approach highlights the differences between each verb and allows for easy comparison. The goal of this study is to em...
