c) Hebrew poetry brings out the color and vitality of the Hebrew language. The language’s makeup invites this. For example, the most prominent part of speech in Hebrew is the verb, the action word. The language’s grammatical structure is simple and direct. (There is no indirect speech in the Hebrew Old Testament.) Metaphors and antitheses6 appear often in the text, and repetition is a common device. Whatever is written is the experience, thoughts, and emotions of the author. In choosing words to share such a testimony, the Hebrew author avoids abstract philosophical and theological terms, and uses concrete and pictorial ones.
