After the Hebrew Bible was translated, much of its poetics were unfortunately rendered invisible. Fortunately, analysis of poetic devices can be aided by a Bible study web app.

Without learning Hebrew

  • Poetry is an art and each poem is doing something unique, but programs use logic and rules. Bridging this difference will be a major challenge.

  • Even though Hebrew Poetry accounts for half of the Old Testament, it is not well known in the Christian community. We have much grounds to cover in terms of increasing awareness and inspiring its exploration.

  • Analyzing for poetic devices is not straight forward, and there are substantial differences between Hebrew poetry and English poetry as we know it! One of the big challenges include teaching the world what Bible Poetry is and how to use the app to look for poetic devices.
