Abstract

This paper aims to explore the semantics associated with the idea of destiny by analyzing the words constructed by the radical mnh found in the Old Testament: the verb mānāh, the common name menāṯ and the proper name Meny. It’s an also quantitative analysis and includes, above all, a research incident in the Portuguese tongue translations. Finally, the question of destiny is problematized in its relationship with themes such as divination, war and messianism.
