How do you use poetic license in the Bible?

Answer 1

A:Poetic licence is defined as a colloquial term, sometimes euphemism, used to denote the distortion of fact, alteration of the conventions of grammar or language, or rewording of pre-existing text.

The authors of the books in The Bible used poetic licence whenever they created facts that were not really true, or wrote doublets that differed from existing passages. The redactors and editors used poetic licence when they altered the texts in order to update and create the books as we know them today. Later translators used poetic licence whenever they translated in the context of their own times or ignored the conventions of grammar or language either in the original or translated language.

We use poetic licence when we reinterpret passages in the Bible, for example using Old Testament passages to foreshadow the coming of Jesus.
