Poetry in Luqa 7

[Larry Kelsey]

Here's one of akhan Paul's posts from March, 2001.

Shlama All,
In verse 32, Maran Eshoa says:

Zamran Lakhun - "We sang to you"
w'La Raqdithun - "And you did not dance"

w'Alyan Lakhun - "And we have mourned for you"
w'La Bakhithun - "And you did not cry"

This type of poetry, in Semitic studies, is known as Line Parallelism, and is the most common form of poetic structure in all Semitic languages.
