Abstract

The pesher uses the texts of the Old Testament as a source of it’s proved. It reflects a classic way of thinking, where the elements of arguments, based on the Bible, show the principal problem in order to explain the reality. The pesher exegesis is a specific relecture of the Old Testament in order to accommodate it to people, communities or doctrines. The explanation is to fulfill the au- thoritative message of the Bible, which is focused on historical modernization of eschatology. The pesher has an allegoric tendency, hence it is close to patristic typological interpretation. This method precedes rabbinical Midrash
