Introduction to the Hebrew bible- sessions 22-24
From sessions 22-24 and am very much impressed by the section or chapter on repeated words or literary design.

It is also used in building a rhythm that confuses…

Thank you very much for sharing this. Although I have not gotten there yet, from your post I can now understand the reasons for the repetitions in the Bible.

Your work shows a good understanding of how the structure of the Tanakh differs from the Christian Old Testament. More Grace!

Greetings in Jesus name
I’ve heard of the Torah and Tanakh spoken of as two different books, but your reflection clearly outlines that it is one book – The old testament.
