• Introduction to the Hebrew bible- sessions 13-15

      One outstanding and interseting thing that i have learned in the sessions is that poetry is away of communicationthat introduces or welcomes the reader to partner with the written word so that he can discover its mmeaning.It moves you closer to the written word so that it becomes part of you for a better undestanding.

      Secondly,in poetry there is a repetion of words that makes us understand better the biblical literature. The repetion and the literary design are the most important tool for guiding us in understanding the biblical literature.

      In biblical poetry the repetition with slight variations create a pattern to give us(readers) anticipation and expectations when reading.
