Best Answer

Chiasmus is a common form of parallelism in Hebrew poetry, where the second line inverts the structure of the first line. This creates a mirrored effect that emphasizes the contrast or comparison between the two lines.

Is Hebrew poetry made from the rhyming of ideas?

Hebrew poetry typically focuses more on patterns of sound, rhythm, and meaning rather than rhyme schemes. It often uses parallelism, repetition, and other structural devices to create its poetic effect.


What is the structural basis of Hebrew poetry?

Hebrew Poetry has been produced for on the order of 3000 years. During that long span, poets have adopted just about every known structural basis for their poetry. Juda Halevy, in his 12th century work, the Kuzari, praised traditional Hebrew poetry for its use of free verse, as opposed to what he saw as the new fad of strictly rhymed metrical poetry. Many of the psalms are structured as alphabetical acrostics, a form that never went completely out of style but was clearly more popular in ancient times. Another common structure is antiphonic verse, where each verse is a couplet where the two halves are parallel and well suited to reading by two readers or by reader and congregation. Some of the psalms make strong use of repetition, for example, beginning runs of consecutive verses with the same phrase while each verse ends quite differently. Even so, it seems extreme to claim that there is one structural basis for all Hebrew poetry or even for all psalms.
