Includes bibliographical references

The authors of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible (OT/HB) interweave the text with references to the natural world, creating cognitive links between nature and the text which aid memorability. Twenty-first century readers, chronologically and often spatially removed from this natural context, risk missing the mnemonic function of these references to nature, and the interpretative insights that may flow from them. To bridge this gap, I develop and implement an approach that I term "mnemonature," which highlights the way that the natural world aids memorability. To test its applicability, this thesis applies mnemonature to references across the various spheres of the natural world: astral (the rainbow and stars as visual memory cues for God's covenants); climatological (drought as an experiential memory cue for covenant faithlessness); meteorological (the khamsin as a memorable metaphor of destruction); geomorphological (Abram's journey appealing to spatiotemporal lived experience); zoological (lions as metaphors for YHWH's power and protection); and botanical (the revitalisation of grass as a metaphor for life). Through each case study, I use mnemonature to explore how the biblical authors use and nuance references to the natural world, the memorable qualities of nature in realia, and the role that references to nature play in aiding the text's memorability.
