Fleshed out the question to try and avoid responses which merely offer traditional approaches to the passage, rather than the addressing the question as given.

However, is there anything in the text to suggest that it should be treated as metaphorical? Seems like we should first approach most texts (other than poetry!) with the assumption that a non-metaphorical usage is in view, before imposing something else.
