Итог:In the Old Testament, as was the case in the other Ancient Near Eastern cultures, people most often resorted to symbolic acts to convey certain emotional, religious and juridical notions.

In this regard special attention will be given to the symbolic role of the body/parts of the body, clothing and certain symbolic activities.
