"Idiomatic Expressions of Hebrew Bible: Their Meaning and 
Translation Through Componential Analysis"
by Jean-Marc Babout
BIBAL Press, 2003, English, Paper
ISBN: 0941037509
List Price: $25.95

Description: 
The aim of this study is to shed light on the meaning of a limited
selection of idiomatic expressions by applying the method of
componential analysis. This method was popularized and refined in the
works of E. A. Nida, who wrote primarily for translators of the United
Bible Societies. In that context, it was utilized chiefly in the search
for equivalents in the target languages of Bible translation projects,
but only rarely has it been applied to the decipherment of the biblical
languages themselves.

HTH,
James
