The direct and explicit term of desire is nevertheless limited to only two roots found in the Decalogue--the verb forms of the lexical roots חמד and אוה, which reflect not only the dynamics of desire occurring in human beings, but also in God. With an comprehensive semantic analysis and an overview of the synonyms and antonyms, the author shows that the verb form of the lexical root אוה denotes a variety of needs related to human existence including aspiration for God while the verb form of the lexical root חמד denotes the desire to acquire material wealth and possessions beyond basic needs. All the findings are compared on two levels--in relation to human beings (objects and people) and in relation to God--and ultimately serve for the interpretation of the roots in both versions of the Decalogue (Exod 20:17 and Deut 5:21) to resolve questions concerning the meaning of the desire in Tenth Commandment and substantiate whether the answers to life's questions provided by the Bible correspond to modern society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samo Skralovnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793652872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793652874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Samo Skralovnik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073279062271,"sku":"9781793652874","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d713a6b-9a8b-4eb3-9c8a-b7bff9e8b905.jpg?v=1685446888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-meaning-and-interpretation-of-samo-skralovnik-9781793652874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
