Almost 75 percent of the Old Testament is made up of poetic passages, yet for many readers (lay Christians, even seminary students and pastors), biblical poetic passages remain the greatest challenge. Being unfamiliar with poetry in general and biblical poetry in particular, their reading and preaching are limited to selected poetic passages. This in turn limits their understanding of God's word. To help readers overcome these problems, the first four chapters of this book aim to get them familiarized with the literary techniques of biblical poets. To demonstrate how the techniques work to bring across the biblical theological message, the last three chapters offer poetic analyses of three passages of different kinds. In the process, we hope to draw attention to the beauty of the Hebrew poetic art and to the creative skill of biblical poets' versification. The ultimate aim, however, is to help readers discover the rich message of the Bible.

Here is a convenient introduction to the unique aspects of interpreting the one-third of the Hebrew Bible that is in poetic form. Numerous are the occasions when a failure to distinguish poetry from prose in the Old Testament has resulted in flawed interpretation. Robert Lowth's Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews (1753, 1787), marked a turning point of major proportions by focusing on the importance of parallelism of lines. But new studies of the past decade now require significant adjustments to Lowth's analyses. Interpreting Hebrew Poetry offers an authoritative introduction to this discussion of parallelism, meter and rhythm, and poetic style. It also provides by way of example a poetic analysis of Deuteronomy 32, Isaiah 5:1-7, and Psalm 1.

In a revision of his 1997 doctoral thesis for the Iliff School of Theology, Vance (biblical languages and literature, Oral Roberts U.) contributes to the long debate about the meter of poetry in the Bible and what if any relationship it has to classical Hebrew poetry as it is found in the Hebrew Bible. He argues that none of the metrical theories proposed has been thoroughly tested against the entire corpus of Hebrew poetic texts, relying instead on sampling and extrapolation. He reviews those theories, beginning with that of Philo of Alexandria, by categories such as quantitative, accentual, and syllabic. Then he analyzes the meter of selected texts, particularly from Lamentations and Psalms. He indexes only ancient and modern authors. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Excerpt from The Book of Psalms, in an English Metrical Version: Founded on the Basis of the Authorized Bible Translation, and Compared With the Original Hebrew; With Notes Critical and Illustrative Highly as the Psalms are generally esteemed in the character of devotional exercises, it may be doubted whether they hold that rank in the character of poetical compositions to which they arc intitled. Yet their excellence in this respect is unquestionable: so that of the Psalms in particular may that be affirmed, which the greatest of our poets hath affirmed generally concerning "those frequent songs throughout the Law and the Prophets," that "not in their divine argument alone, but in the very critical art of composition, they may be easily made appear over all the kinds of lyrick poesy to be incomparable." At the same time I am persuaded, that a due perception and feeling of such excellence is signally conducive to their effect in the higher department of religious and moral improvement, for which after all they were composed, and without which they are no better than "sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." With these impressions I undertook, and with the same impressions continually more and more deeply and firmly fixed, I have prosecuted and completed the following version, which I beg leave to introduce to the reader with a few expository observations.

Throughout the last two centuries, Hebrew metrics was studied by leading linguists and specialists in medieval Hebrew poetry. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the academic discussion such that it is sometimes even difficult to find scansions or the name of the meter in new editions of poems. This book aims to rectify this gap, helping readers to understand the metric structure of this poetry in order to facilitate the work of editing and cataloguing those samples still in manuscript form for future editors. Delgado presents his view of Andalusi Hebrew metrics, as encountered in medieval manuals of Arabic and Hebrew metrics and scattered notes in the works of Andalusi Hebrew philologists. Whilst twentieth-century scholars spoke about the adaptation of Arabic metrics to Hebrew, he instead approaches these compositions by Andalusi Jews (10th-13th c.) as Arabic metrics written in Hebrew, thus emphasising how Hebrew poetry of the Andalusi Jews can help us to understand the general evolution of Arabic strophic poetry, and its experimental evolution, which is quite unlike classical and strophic Arabic poetry. This method respects the Hebrew vowel system, and does not necessitate alteration of word morphology, leaving the guttural letters quiescent (unless required by metrical license); nor does it necessitate guesses about metres that are not in the classical catalogue. Although the author has not found each and every classical metre from Andalusi Hebrew poetry included in this manual, they are all catalogued, either in case someone finds them in future or because they help us to comprehend the metrical structures that are characteristic of strophic poetry. As such, this monograph will be of great interest to scholars of Hebrew metrics.
