Pesher Interpretation is a hermeneutical method in biblical scholarship that belongs to the broader category of intertextual reading strategies and is specifically characterized by its assumption of a direct, divinely intended correspondence between scriptural texts and contemporary events, often revealing hidden, prophetic meanings through a literal-historical decoding of earlier biblical passages.
