[Isaiah 38:14 I chirp like a swallow or crane; I moan like a dove [ka-yonah]. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security]. All throughout the books of the prophets we see this connection between the moaning of a dove and the wailing of people faced with war and exile (See: Isaiah 59:9-11, Ezekiel 7:15-16, Nahum 2:7-10). Source: https://hebrewwordlessons.com/2018/12/02/yonah-dove-that-brings-good-news/ P.S.: M.J. has biblical references in his song lyrics as well. So it got me wondering - and Googling. ;-) Found the above. Of course, symbolism is part of all of us. Hard to tell which originates exactly when and where. Nevertheless, I found it deserved mentioning, for other soul searchers out there. Greetings! |
