Is Acts 9:18 employing the literary technique of hyperbolic speech when reference scales?

In the New Testament we read a weird passage concerning Paul’s eyes.


Acts 9:18
18 And immediately something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

Was that literal? Was that no literal? Is there a way to know?

The answer is yes, we do in fact have a way to know that is just hyperbole. It’s called biblical patterns hyperlinking back to a earlier issue.

He is a clue. You need to do a word study on scales throughout the tanakh.
