p. v - Intro to Song of Songs

The virtue of an allegory is that it leads the reader to think for himself, since [it uses] veiled representations. Indeed the Bible as a whole is believed to possess no single definitive meaning [resulting] in its

[A] universal appeal

And

[B] [marking] it a continually relevant book...

Thus in order to span time and space, society and history, Tanach was designed to have no single definitive meaning. IOW it was designed at the outset to NOT be limited nor fossilized nor irrelevant.
