Parable and ritual in changing contexts (2024)

Abstract

This article will consider the evolution of the parable of “one who immerses
with a reptile in his hand,” which appears throughout rabbinic literature.
I chose to study this parable because the oral-performative context in which
it was spoken has been preserved; this context is generally regarded as the
original context for parables as a genre.1 By studying the various versions of
this parable, I seek to demonstrate the versatility of the parable as a genre, the
possibility of transferring parables by adapting them to new contexts, and the
attendant changes in meaning and message.
