What literary device is used in Hebrew poetry?
A:
Hebrew poetry found in the Bible differs somewhat from modern poetry. It does not make use of rhyme, but it seems to have a definite rhythmic form - although scholars cannot agree on how it works. Lines in Hebrew poetry are composed of two, or sometimes three, short units, which are often broken in two with a pause in the middle. Hebrew poetry usually repeats or balances ideas. With figurative language, the poet makes a statement in the first line and then says it again - another way - in the second line, and perhaps in later lines as well. Bible scholars call this feature 'parallelism'.
Another literary device found in Hebrew poetry is an acrostic. The first verse starts with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the second verse starts with the next letter, and so on - through the 22-letter alphabet. Psalm 25 is an acrostic style plea for help, suggesting the writer knows suffering from A to Z. Many of the Psalms use this acrostic: 25, 37, 110, 111, 119, 145.
Answer:
Rhyming is occasionally used, as is word-play, allusions, alliteration and meter. An important point is that the Hebrew verses contain musical cantillation-notes as part of the text, which are absent in translation. These notes convey a further level of meaning, plus serve as punctuation.

Why is the Israeli shekel strong?
1. Stong israeli export economy
2. Large fields of natural gas were found in Israel and foreign investors increased the flows of funds (in that process they purchase shekels to invest in Israeli oil companies and thus drive the value of shekel up)
3. Bank of Israel tried to intervene and purchase $$ in the market thus trying to boost up the dollar. Without this shekel value would increase even more...
No. Israel is a secular country with a Jewish majority.
What significance did Golda Meir have in the Arab- Israeli conflict?
Golda Meir's primary significance in the Arab-Israeli conflict focuses on two different phases of her life. Prior to ascending to the Israeli Prime Ministry, Golda Meir was very important in galvanizing Western support for Israel, helping the country become independent and attracting immigrants.
When she became a Prime Minister, she was known for being surprised by the Egyptian and Syrian invasions on Yom Kippur of 1973. This was the first time that Israel was surprised by an Arab attack and this led to increased Israeli casualties and difficulties in winning the war. Even though Israel won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 and restored a status quo antebellum, Israelis have faulted Golda Meir for this unpreparedness and the resultant loss in life.
Note: Since there is debate between Westerners and Arabs as to who won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, please see this Related Question which discusses that debate: Which country won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973?
Are there snow plows in Israel?
I would hope so. They get snow in the mountains in the North of Israel. It is common to have snow on Mount Hermon and along the Golan Heights. I have attached a link to an article that shows snow in Israel. It is funny to read that 1.5" of snow caused the schools to close when you live in Michigan where it take 10"+ to get a school cancellation.
It would be my guess that they would use a small ATV or UTV to attach a snow plow to. There are small snow plows that are easy to put on and take off that are make specifically for this type of situation.
What resources does Israel lack?
Any- except brains.

Are Mormons allowed to proselytize in Israel?
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is not allowed to do door-to-door or street proselytizing as it does in most nations. There are no full-time missionaries called to Israel, and Mormons in Israel may not approach others to discuss religious matters (however they may answer questions if they are asked) The Church does have a handful of small congregations in Israel, and has a BYU extention campus in Jerusalem where students can participate in a special Middle-East study program.
Note that this is an approach chosen by the Church of Latter Day Saints and not on account of any Israeli Law or similar legal mechanism.

Islam is a religion of peace.
Extremist Islam is not a religion of peace.
There is a difference between Islam and Extremist Islam.
Extremist Islam are followed by Islamic terrorists.
Those who choose the path of Extremist Islam will claim that they are following true Islam, when in fact they are not.
You should not see a whole religion as terrorists just because a faction of followers choose the path of terrorism.
IRA terrorists are Catholics. But nobody calls the Catholics "terrorists". So what right do we have to call all Muslims "terrorists"? - None.
Is it true or false that Joshua led Israel across the Red Sea and into Canaan as God had commanded?
False. According to the Biblical narrative, Moses led the Israelites across the Sea of Reeds, and Joshua later led them across the Jordan River.
According to archaeologists, there is no evidence to suggest that Joshua lived at all. (Though absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.)
