A feature typical of Hebrew expression that appears in another language is called a _____.

Answer

Hebraism

Explanation

### Why this is right The source defines a Hebraism as a feature typical of Hebrew that occurs in another language. It notes that such expressions appear in English translations and can also occur in New Testament writing because its authors sometimes used Hebrew modes of expression. ### The concept An idiom is a characteristic expression whose meaning may not be obvious from a word-for-word translation. For example, “son of” a quality can mean a person characterized by that quality. Recognizing the idiom helps the reader avoid interpreting it as a literal statement about parentage. ### Terms - **Hebraism**: A Hebrew linguistic feature or idiom occurring in another language. - **Idiom**: A conventional expression whose intended meaning may differ from a literal reading of its words. ### Remember When a literal rendering sounds puzzling, check whether the expression is an idiom.
