Abstract
When George Washington used the expression do justice and love mercy in his 1763 Circular Letter to the States, he, even though deliberately quoted the Bible [7], could not expect his entire audience to be familiar with the biblical context of his reference. Neither did the producers of the TV series Sex and The City when titling one of its episodes as Let There Be Light, alluding to Genesis 1:3 [8], or Freddie Mercury in his song Another One Bites the Dust, referencing the expression that originated from Psalm 72 : 9 [9]. Similarly, one does not need to be familiar with the Books of Leviticus [10] or Genesis [11] to call a person a scapegoat or a nimrod – nouns thematic images of which are derived from the Holy Bible.
