Today, we’re going to continue our learning about biblical poetry. Understanding these fundamentals gives us a fresh perspective on familiar passages, revealing layers of meanings previously overlooked, and deepens our relationship with the Scripture and with God himself.

This time we will continue our discussion talking about Synthetic (or Constructive) Parallelism: This is where the second part advances the thought of the first, adding new information, completing a thought, or expanding on the idea presented in the first line.

For instance.
Psalm 19:7: “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.”
Here, the benefits of adhering to God's laws are progressively unveiled, with each line building upon the previous one.

We will press on with the study and show you multiple examples of how you can read the Scripture and notice these forms so that you can get a deeper understanding of what God wants to say to you.
