Psalm 28/Notes/Phrasal.v. 1.657319
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
- vv. 1b and 1c both end with the prepositional phrase to me (מִמֶּנִּי). The repeated ending (epiphora) emphasizes the psalmist as the person whom YHWH should hear and answer.[1]
- ↑ "Epiphora, also known as 'epistrophe,' is a stylistic device in which a word or a phrase is repeated at the ends of successive clauses . . . both anaphora and epiphora have the same function of laying emphasis on a particular point" (literarydevices.net).
