And Things Of The Bible -- Allegory
Used only in Gal. 4:24, where the apostle refers to the history of
Isaac the free-born, and Ishmael the slave-born, and makes use of it
allegorically. Every parable is an allegory. Nathan (2 Sam. 12:1-4)
addresses David in an allegorical narrative. In the eightieth Psalm
there is a beautiful allegory: "Thou broughtest a vine out of
Egypt," etc. In Eccl. 12:2-6, there is a striking allegorical
description of old age.
