  4. Translating Kōl
    When “All” Does Not Mean “All”
    Published: 2020

    Hebrew kōl means “every,” “the whole,” “all.” However, a literal translation does not always make sense. I investigated cases where kōl does not express totality in the sense of “one hundred percent.” I present a collection of examples that show that kōl can also be used (1) to express variety, (2) as hyperbole, (3) in a way defined by the context, and (4) for stylistic reasons. I argue that kōl sometimes needs to be translated with expressions such as “all kinds of,” “all other,” “in unity,” or in other context-sensitive ways; where it is perceived as redundant or misleading, it may remain untranslated.

    Abstract A number of Jesus’ sayings have been taken to be instances of hyperbole. Mark 9:43–47 is so construed by many. The present article uses Relevance Theory and other work on hyperbole to define its scalar nature and expressive function. The encoded meanings of language and the roles of co-text (discursive factors) and context (non-discursive factors) in inferring meaning are investigated in relation to Mark 9:43–47 and its synoptic parallels. It is concluded that considerations of language and co-text provide no evidence that Mark 9:43–47 is hyperbolic; if it was construed as hyperbolic by the Markan audience, the reason for this lies in its now unknown context of utterance. The opposite is the case with Matthew’s treatments of the saying. He provides a co-text that prompts for a spiritualised and thus metaphorical interpretation of it.

    Luke 14:26 has commonly been viewed as an example of hyperbole. This article applies modern studies on hyperbole that hold as its principle criteria both a scalar property and an evaluative/expressive function. We apply these criteria, analyzing Luke 14:26 in terms of encoded language, co-text, and context. We argue that hyperbole arises from the choice to use "hate" rather than "love more than" but also that the hyperbolic usage relies on a cause for effect (emotion for emotional response) metonym. In terms of language, we show that "hate" has variant meanings that may be different in their degrees of encoding. In terms of co-text, we argue that Luke’s use of "hate" and Matthew’s use of "love more than" are relevantly chosen; in other words, they are suited to and to be interpreted against their co-texts.
