I.A. Richards, a pioneer of modern metaphor studies has said, "Metaphor is the omnipresent principle of language." That is no less true for biblical texts. Upon even a cursory reading of the Hebrew Bible, one will encounter abundant figurative language through its primary vehicle: metaphor. Current trends of metaphor research applied to the Hebrew Bible focus on conventional patterns of language and thought. This is of immense value for understanding the conceptual world of ancient authors and their audience, as one cannot consult the authors to interpret biblical metaphors. However, studies of the deviations, or "novel" uses of figurative language, are underrepresented. The primary aim of this study is to isolate novel uses of figurative language in the Hebrew Bible and consider their composition, motivation, and contribution to interpreting biblical texts. The present study considers novel metaphors in the Hebrew Bible from a cognitive perspective, with emphasis on Conceptual Blending Theory, an approach that draws attention to the broader impacts of cognition, culture, embodied experience, and emotion, on language. A survey of conventional and novel metaphors in the Psalms is followed by in-depth discussions of the "death shepherd" in Psalm 49, the "fraudulent hedge" in Job 3, and a novel twist on a constellation of images in Genesis 2-3. The analysis concludes that novel metaphors in the Hebrew Bible are substantially derived from conventional thought. This means that reconstructing conventional conceptual spaces is of utmost importance for interpreting novel metaphors in the Hebrew Bible. Then, conceptual blending applied to biblical texts suggests that modern minds will blend the primary data like the ancient authors that composed the metaphor. The textual analyses additionally conclude that novel metaphors have a "grammar" (the mechanisms of derivation from conventional metaphors), are more prevalent in some thematic contexts over others, and may be more common in texts alluding to cross-cultural knowledge and practice. Lastly, the textual studies highlight a pervasive type of novel metaphor in the Hebrew Bible, metaphors of reversal, which are driven by their rhetorical benefit, and expose correspondences between metaphor, iconography, and intertextuality methods when viewed through the lens of conceptual blending.
