چکیده

The method of structural interpretation as a modern interpretation method explores the relationships and concepts among signs in the light of the intention of Surah. Some are dubious about the foundation of this method as they believe that this method shows a cohesive profile of the signs, not being capable of clarifying the meaning of the signs like other methods such as Quran to Quran interpretation, rational or narrative interpretation and so on. This research, emphasizing the structural interpretation method, aims to show the application of the method in understanding the difficult signs of Surah Baqarah. Using such a method shows that by paying attention to the structure as well as register of the signs, one can gain a logical and clear meaning of them. Surah Baqarah aims to show the way Muslims interacted with the Jewish. The Holy Quran introduces itself as the authority of Torah. In order to understand its signs, it is suggested that one pay attention to the Jewish beliefs, because in this surah God Has talked to the Jewish as His direct and indirect addresses many times. Paying attention to the history of some words or concepts in this surah such as “Ra’ena”, “Masajed Allah”, “Yataxabatah” as well as their location in the surah can be effective in understanding these signs and solving interpretive problems.
