<p> A figurative mode of discourse, which employs terms literally belonging to one thing, in order to express another. It is strictly a prolonged metaphor. Such are Nathan's address to David, 2 [[Samuel]] 12:1 - 14; [[Psalm]] 80:1-19 , and our Lord's parable of the sower, [[Luke]] 8:5 - 15 . The expression, "which things are an allegory," [[Galatians]] 4:24 , means that the events in the life of [[Isaac]] and Ishmael, mentioned in previous verses, have been allegorically applied. </p> | <p> A figurative mode of discourse, which employs terms literally belonging to one thing, in order to express another.
