REPETATIVE PARALLELISM. The number 1 reason why I have always abhorred reading the Bible. Now I can finally give it a name that makes sense! Whenever I pick up the Bible, I find myself complaining outwardly, but most often inwardly, that 'the damn thing just repeats itself, over and over and over'. I have never had patience as far as this is concerned. NEVER. This is a more proper definition:
Repetative Parallelism - Commonly used in Hebrew poetry, a technique in which one term is balanced/repeated by another (typically in the next verse)
I'm glad I can finally put a definition to the idea.
