* Open

• Grammar:
• Copy this verse: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork."
• Now, is this a simple sentence, a compound sentence, a complex sentence, or a compound-complex sentence?  How do you know?
• Does it display synthetic, synonymous, or antithetical parallelism?

* Notes reviewed

• Tropes (creative meaning)
• Focus on personification
• Schemes (creative structures)
• Focus on parallelism, chiasmus, and anadiplosis.
• In Hebrew poetry, parallelism is commonly synonymous, antithetical, or synthetic.
