Metonymy Of The Adjunct

METONYMY; or, CHANGE OF NOUN.
. . pg. 538
The change of one noun for another related noun.

From “Figures Of Speech Used In The Bible” by E. W. Bullinger,
(Public Domain) pages 538 – 608. Adapted for website compatibility.

Me-ton-y-my. Sometimes pronounced Met-o-nym-y.
Greek Μετωνυμία, from μετά (meta), indicating change, and ὄνομα (onoma), a name; or, in grammar, a noun.
[See “A Greek-English Lexicon” by
Liddell, Henry George, 1811-1898; Scott, Robert, 1811-1887; μετά pg. 946 G. VIII; ὄνομα pg. 1056]

Metonymy is a figure by which one name or noun is used instead of another,
to which it stands in a certain relation.

The change is in the noun,
and only in a verb as connected with the action proceeding from it.

The names of persons are put by Metonymy for something which stands in a
special relation to them. Thus we speak of “a stanhope” (carriage), from the
Hon. Mr. Stanhope; “a brougham,” from Lord Brougham; “boycotting,” from
Capt. Boycott; a “blanket,’” “negus,” a “spencer,” a “d’oyley,” etc., from the respective inventors.

Thus it will be seen that Metonymy is not founded on resemblance, but on relation.

When we say that a person writes “a bad hand,” we do not mean a hand,
but we use the noun “hand” for the characters which it writes.

Metonymy is of four kinds: viz.,
of the Cause, of the Effect, of the Subject, and of the Adjunct.

I. Metonymy of the Cause is when the cause is put for the effect:
i.e., when the doer is put for the thing done;
or, the instrument for that which is effected;
or, where the action is put for the effect produced by the action.

II. Metonymy of the Effect is the opposite of the above:
when the effect is put for the cause.

III. Metonymy of the Subject is when the subject is put for something pertaining to it: as the possessor for the possessed; the thing signified for the sign.

IV. Metonymy of the Adjunct, on the contrary, is when that which pertains to anything is put for the thing itself.

Some grammarians have added a fifth Metonymy, where the antecedent is put for the consequent; but it really belongs to Metonymy of the Cause.
. . pg. 587
. IV. Metonymy of the ADJUNCT

. The fourth division of Metonymy is called the Metonymy of the Adjunct
. (or Relation), and is the opposite of Metonymy of the Subject.

It is so called because some circumstance pertaining to the subject is put for the subject itself; e.g., the contents for the container, the possession for the possessor, etc.
It is divided into the seven following parts: —

. i. The ADJUNCT or ACCIDENT is put for the subject.

That which is an accident, or belongs to anything, is put for the subject or the thing itself to which it belongs.

1. The ABSTRACT is put for the concrete; or, the ATTRIBUTE is put for that to which anything is attributed.

Gen. 31:54 “Then Jacob killed beasts upon the mount”:
i.e., he offered sacrifices, as the A.V. renders it.
Here, by Metonymy, the abstract is put for its concrete.

Gen. 42:38 “Then shall ye bring down my grey hairs (i.e., me, in my old age) with sorrow to the grave.”

Gen. 46:34 “For every shepherd is an abomination (i.e., an abominable person) unto the Egyptians.”

1 Sam. 15:29 “And also the eternity of Israel will not lie nor repent.”
Here, the A.V. renders it “Strength”, but the attribute “Eternity” is put for Him to whom it is attributed: i.e., the eternal One: i.e., God. See the A.V. margin.

. . pg. 588
2 Sam. 23:23 “And David set him over his listeners”:
i.e., those who stood at David’s door and listened for his command.
Hence his bodyguard.
See 20:23. 1 Kings 1:38.

Neh. 5:9 “Because of the reproach (i.e., the reproachful deeds)
of the heathen our enemies.”

Job 5:16 “So the poor hath hope, and iniquity (i.e., the iniquitous man)
stoppeth his mouth.”

Job 31:21 “If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help
(i.e., those who helped me or would be on my side) in the gate.”

Job. 32:7 “I said, Days (i.e., men of days, or men of full age) should speak,
and multitude of years (i.e., aged men) should teach wisdom.”

Psa. 12:1 (2) “Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth:
for the faithful from the sons of men fail”: i.e., faithful men fail.
So Psa. 31:23 (24); 2 Sam. 20:19.

Psa. 65:8 (9) “They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice”:
i.e., thou makest those who go out in the morning and return in the evening to sing.
See under Ellipsis.

Psa. 68:18 (19) “Thou hast led captivity (i.e., captives) captive.”
Isa. 49:24; Jer. 29:14.

thou hast (or shall be) the dew of thy youth”:
i.e., thy young men shall be born to thee as dew is born in the morning.

Pro. 23:21 “For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty:
and drowsiness (i.e., the sluggard) shall clothe a man (i.e., himself) with rags.”

Isa. 57:13 “Vanity (i.e., vain men) shall take them.”
So Psa. 144:4; Jas. 4:14.

Jer. 2:5 They “have walked after vanity (i.e., vain things, or idols),
and are become vain.”
See under Paronomasia. So Deut. 32:21; Jer. 14:22, and compare Acts 14:15.

Eze. 44:6 “And thou shalt say unto rebellion”:
i.e., to the rebellious People.

Amos 8:3 “And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day.”
. . *pg. 589

Here, through missing the Metonymy in the first part of this sentence, the A.V.
has been obliged to alter the latter part, and put in *the margin, “Heb., shall howl.”
But if we note that “songs” are put for singers, then we have perfect sense:—
“And the singers of the temple shall howl in that day.”

Luke 1:78 “Whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us”:
i.e., the morning star which precedes the day. So John the Baptist,
as the “morning star,” preceded Christ, Who is “the Sun of Righteousness.”
See Isa. 9:2 (1); 60:1, 2; Mal. 4:2 (3:20), etc.

John 11:40 “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory (i.e., the glorious work) of God?”

Rom. 3:30 “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith
and uncircumcision through faith.”
Here, “circumcision” is put for those who are circumcised; and uncircumcision for uncircumcised persons, as in 15:8 and Gal. 2:9, 12.

Rom. 8:19 “The earnest expectation of the creation (i.e., created things or creatures) waiteth.”

Rom. 11:7 “But the election (i.e., elect persons) hath obtained it.”

Eph. 1:21 “Here, the attributes are put for the beings who possess them:—

i.e., all spiritual beings in heavenly places.
See also under Synonymia and Polysyndeton.

Phil. 1:16 “Supposing to add affliction to my bonds”:
i.e., my captivity.
See also under Prosapodosis.

1 Pet. 2:17 “Love the brotherhood”:
i.e., the brethren. Compare 2:9.

2. Other ADJUNCTS also are put for the subjects to which they pertain:
. as Light for the sun, Oil for anointing, etc.

Gen. 34:29 “And all their strength”:
i.e., wealth, as in A.V.

Ex. 14:4 “And I will be honoured upon Pharaoh and upon all his power.”
Heb. is חֵילֹו :i.e., his power, which is put by Metonymy for his army,
which was the expression of his power.
See below 1 Sam. 14:48.

Lev. 13:4 “Then the priest shall shut up the plague seven days”:
i.e., as in A.V., “him that hath the plague.”
See verses 13, 31, 50.

. . pg. 590
Deut. 8:17 “And thou say in thine heart,
My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this strength”:
i.e., wealth, as in A.V.

1 Sam. 14:48 “And he gathered a power” (Heb. חַיִל , i.e., an host), as in A.V.
See Ex. 14:4.

1 Kings 7:9 “From the foundation unto the coping.”
Heb. טְּפָחֹות (tephachoth), spans, put by Metonymy for the height:
i.e., from the foundation to the summit.

Job 6:22 “Give a reward (or perhaps “bribe”) for me of your strength”:
i.e., “of your substance,” as in A.V.; i.e., that which your strength has procured.

Job 31:26 “If I beheld the light when it shined.”
Here “the light” is put for the sun, as in A.V. (see margin).
So also 37:21 and Hab. 3:4.

Prov. 5:10 “Lest strangers be filled with thy strength”:
i.e., thy wealth, as in the A.V.

Prov. 15:6 “In the house of the righteous is much strength”:
i.e., treasure, as in the A.V.

Isa. 1:18 “Though your sins be as scarlet.”
It is a question whether here “sins” be not put for sinners.
Certainly persons are spoken of, and it is not easy to think of “sins,” as such,
becoming white! It is the sinner himself who is thus made “whiter than snow.”
Psa. 51:7.

Isa. 10:14 “And my hand hath found (or found means to reach)
as a nest the strength of the peoples”:
i.e., their riches, gotten by their strength, as in the A.V.

Isa. 10:27 “Because of the oil”:
i.e., the anointing, as in the A.V.
But, from the reference to Gideon’s exploits which we have in verse 26, the sense may be:
“And yoke snapt at sight of oil”:
i.e., as Midian’s yoke was distended till it snapt before the oil (or resin) burning in Gideon’s lamps, so will Asshur’s yoke, again, recoil (יָסוּר verse 26) from thy neck, before the hot “blast” (see 37:7, and compare Psa. 18:15 (16); see, too, 2 Thess. 2:8).

Isa. 30:6 “They will carry their strength (i.e., riches) upon the shoulders of young asses.”

Here “strength” is put for the riches and presents which Israel’s ambassadors were taking down to Egypt, to induce Egypt to help Israel against Assyria. In verses 2 and 3, “strength” is used literally. But in the next verse (7), it is put by Metonymy for “Egypt,” in whose strength they trusted.

. . pg. 591
Isa. 30:7 “Their strength is to sit still.”

These words are usually taken as an exhortation to the Lord’s people to sit still and do nothing. But the fact is just the opposite. They are spoken of Egypt, on whom Israel was relying for help against the Assyrians. See verses 1, 3: “The strength of Pharaoh” was what they trusted in. But Jehovah declared that that would be a vain trust, for…..
. “The Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
Therefore have I cried concerning this,
Their strength is to sit still :”
i.e., Egypt, when Israel’s ambassadors arrived there (verses 4-6),
would sit still, and not help them at all. “Strength” is put by Metonymy for Egypt,
in the strength of which Israel trusted.

Jer. 20:5 “Moreover I will deliver all the strength
(i.e., all the riches which are procured by strength)
of this city . . . into the hand of their enemies.”

i.e., the leper.
See verses 2, 3, and compare Mark 1:42.

i.e., at the fire, as in the A.V.
See John 18:18.

Acts 14:15 “We . . . preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities (i.e., idols) unto the living God.” Note that the term “Living God” is generally used when idols are mentioned or implied in the context (See 1 Thess. 1:9, 10, etc.).

Gal. 3:13 “Being made a curse for us”:
i.e., accursed, one under the curse of the Law.

Eph. 5:8 “For ye were sometimes darkness (i.e., dark and ignorant), but now are ye light
(i.e., enlightened ones) in the Lord.”

ii. The CONTENTS, for that which contains them:
. and what is placed, for the place where it is located.

Gen. 28:22 “And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house”:
i.e., this place, of which the stone formed a part.

. . pg. 592

Josh. 15:19 “Give me also springs of water”:
i.e., land containing them as well as the south land.

1 Chron. 9:24 In four winds were the porters”:
i.e., in the four quarters, as in the A.V. But see Jer. 49:32 below.

i.e., treasuries, as the A.V. here properly renders the figure.

i.e., the country through which the river flows.

i.e., a place for the spreading of nets, as in the A.V.

Hos.9:6 “Thorns shall be in their tabernacles”:
i.e., in the places where their tents were formerly pitched.

Amos 8:5 “Saying. When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath that we may open wheat (i.e., granaries). Not “set forth wheat,” as in the A.V. The translators have stumbled over the verb (see margin) through not seeing the Metonymy of the noun.

Matt. 2:11 “And when they had opened their treasures”:
i.e., their treasuries or caskets containing them; good and precious presents.
So Psa. 135:7; Matt. 12:35, etc.

i.e., treasury.
The words “of the heart” go out of the Text with the Textual Critics and the R.V.

things new and old.”

Here, the A.V. translates the Metonymy “sacrifices,” for which in the Hebrew is put “feasts”; lit., “kill the feasts”: i.e., the sacrifices. In Mal. 2:3, where it is so very clear, the A.V. leaves
the word “feasts” and does not render it, as in Isa. 29:1.

. 1. In NOUNS.

Jer. 28:5, 10 Hananiah is probably called a prophet, because he was reputed to be one. See verse 1.

but were not so.

i.e., those who were considered to be such as by outward privilege and inheritance were so.

Luke 2:48 “Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing”:
i.e., reputed father.
See 3:23, and compare John 6:42.

1 Cor. 1:21 “The foolishness of preaching.”
The preaching of the gospel is not foolishness, but man thinks it is,
and hence it is here so-called.

1 Cor. 1:25 “The foolishness of God”:
i.e., that which man thinks foolishness. Compare verse 18.

2 Cor. 4:4 “The god of this world.”
Not that the Devil is really the God, but that the world takes him for such.

Micah 7:16 “ The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay (their) hand upon (their) mouth, their ears shall be deaf.”

To POUR WATER ON THE HANDS is put for serving.

2 Kings 3:11 “But Jehoshaphat said, (Is there) not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here (is) Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.”

To FILL THE HAND OR HANDS
. is put for consecrating anyone to a sacred office,
. because the person so appointed received the sign
. or symbol of the office in his hands.

Ex. 28:41 “And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate *them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.”
(* see footnote)

Ex.29:9 “And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.”

Ex. 29:33 “And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate (and) to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat (thereof), because they (are) holy.”

Ex. 29:35 “And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all (things) which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.”

Lev. 8:33 “And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (in) seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end:
for seven days shall he consecrate you.”

Lev. 16:32 “And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate
to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement,

Judges 17:12 “And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.” etc.

To COVER THE FEET is put for performing a duty of nature, because when stooping the garments fell over the feet. This is a beautiful example of Euphemy (q.v.).

Judges 13:24 “When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour (were) locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet
in his summer chamber.”

1 Sam. 24:3 “And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where (was) a cave;
and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.”

. EATING AND DRINKING is put for living or being alive.

Ex. 24:11 “And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand:
also they saw God, and did eat and drink.”

Similarly LOOKING is used in Gen. 16:13, because Hagar had seen God and yet lived.
Compare Gen. 32:30 and Judges 13:22.

. is put for liberating from servitude.

Psa. 2:3 “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”

I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.”

Psa. 69:11 (12) “I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.”

Lam. 2:10 “ The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, (and) keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.”

the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.”

Amos 8:10 “And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only (son), and the end thereof as a bitter day.” etc.

MAKING BALD is put for grieving.

Micah 1:16 “Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children;
enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.”

LICKING THE DUST is put for defeat and submission.

Isa. 49:23 “And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with (their) face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I (am) the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.”

Psa. 72:9 “ They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;
and his enemies shall lick the dust.”

SMITING THE THIGH is put for grief.

Jer. 31:19 “Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed,
I smote upon (my) thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.”
So also is Sitting on the ground.

. . pg. 608

NOT DISCERNING THE RIGHT HAND FROM THE LEFT
. is put for extreme youth.

Jonah 4:11 “And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and (also) much cattle?”

(3.a). THE WHOLE UTTERANCE, which may consist of admonition,
. instruction, etc., sometimes consists of sign or symbol,
. and the signs are thus put for the things signified.

“ Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand,

Wailing (shall be) in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways,
Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning,

Matt. 24:20 “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:”
