   ocr: - A basic rule of thumb in biblical Interpretation 1S: a. always interpret clear texts by obscure texts b. always interpret unclear passages in light of the whole teaching of Scripture C. do - word studies to unlock the hidden' meaning of difficuit Jassayes 7. Another basic rule of biblical Interpretation is: a. assume that the meaning of a Jassaye is literal unless there are clear literary reasons for doing otherwise b. - use your imagination to perceive deeper truths in the text C. assume that words are used symbolically unless it's clear that they're to be taken literally
