“Who is like Yahweh?”
A Study of Divine Metaphors in
the Book of Micah
Judge or Shepherd?
Juan Cruz examines two types of metaphors
for Yahweh in the book of Micah, the legal
metaphors and the pastoral metaphors, which
depict contrasting aspects of the same God.
Juan Cruz considers the two groups of divine
metaphors in the book of Micah, namely the
legal metaphors in 1:2–16 and 6:1–16 and the
pastoral metaphors in 2:12–13, 4:6–7, 5:1–4a

and 7:14–20. He aims to contribute to the
literary analysis of these metaphors and so
help to achieve a better understanding of God
as portrayed in the Hebrew Bible and in the
book of Micah in particular.
Using theories that can integrate these
metaphors without denying their
contradictions, Cruz offers an approach that
recognises how the metaphors for God both
complement one another and demonstrate
tension with each other in the context of the
whole book.
Juan Cruz, PhD, is former lecturer of Old Testament and Biblical Hebrew in PTS College
