The work defines poetry’s emotional and imaginative purpose and explains sacred poetry’s performance with music. It analyzes biblical examples and central literary devices—especially parallelism—through passages from Exodus, Genesis, Proverbs, Isaiah, and the Psalms, detailing the Psalms’ meaning and musical

TALKS ON HEBREW POETRY  \nAncient,Medieval,ModernbyRabbi Ely E.Pilchik  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2018  \nhttps://archive.org/details/threetalksonhebrOOpilc  \n2工.   \n# HEBREW POETRY\n\nI.THE ANCIENT PERIODThe Psalms  \nHebrew is one of the family of Semitic languages.Thisfamily named after Shem,one of the three sons of Noah,emerging about 2500 B.C.E.as the Assyrian -Babylonianor Akadian -we have stone and clay cuneiform writing ex-tant-branching into the northwest Semitic or Aramaic(muchof the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds are in this tongueand indeed some sections of our Hebrew Bible)secondly theMoabitic or Canaanite branch which includes Phoenician,Ugaritic,and Hebrew;thirdly the South Semitic branch con-sisting of Arabic and Ethiopic.  \nThe first we know of Hebrew appears about the year 1300  \nB.C.E.in our Tanach-our Hebrew Scripture.So the Hebrewwe read in our Torah,in our Prophets,in our Psalms goesback some 3,200 years.  \nNow,what is poetry?Poetry is that form of literature whichis most imaginative.Poetry is verse having the purpose ofstirring the emotions and firing the imagination.Poetry iswritten or spoken rhythmical composition arousing pleasureby expressing uplifting thoughts.Good poetry we have learnedfrom one of the greatest poets,John Milton,who,youremember,wrote the classic\"Paradise Lost,\"and the ex-cruciating sonnet“On His Blindness\"—\"Good poetryshould be simple,sensous,and passionate.\"Sacred literaturewas originally poetic.  \nWhen sacred poetry is accompanied by music,as it fre-quently was,we hear the marriage hymn,the hymn to God,  \nthe hymn to war,the hymn celebrating victory,and the funeralhymn,the dirge.  \nThus we read in Exodus XV,20:“And Miriam,the pro-phetess,the sister of Aaron,took a timbrel in her hand,andall the women went out after her with timbrels dancing.AndMiriam sang out:  \n‘I will sing unto the Lord  \nFor He has gloriously triumphed,Horse and rider he flung into the sea  \nThe Lord is my strength and my salvation  \nPharoe's chariots and his forces he cast into the seaHis chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.Thy right hand,O Lord,is glorious in power,Thy right hand dashed the enemy to shreds.\"  \nI am sure you caught in this victory hymn sung upon theexodus from the bondage of Egypt one of the fundamentalcharacteristics of Hebrew poetry -the parallelism.Here wehave synonymous parallelism-one line repeating the thoughtof the previous line.  \nEarly in Genesis (IV,19)we have the first instance of thisparallelism-a descendant of Cain,named Lemach,declaresto his two wives:  \n\"Ada and Zilah hear my voice;  \nYou wives of Lemach listen to my wordsI have slain a man who hurt me,A young man who did me injury.\"  \nHebrew poetry in addition to the synonymous parallelismuses antithetic parallelism-one line with a thought contrasted  \n2  \nto the next line.Thus in the book of Proverbs X,II:  \n‘‘A wise son makes glad a father  \nA foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.'\"  \nAnd in the Prophet Isaiah LIV,7:  \n‘\"For a brief moment I(God)forsook you,But everlastingly will I have compassion on you.\"  \nLet us now turn to our Psalms.Our Scripture has 150Psalms.What is a Psalm?Our dictionary tells us that theEnglish word Psalm is derived from the Latin\"Psalmus,\"which in turn is derived from the Greek‘Psalmos''mean-ing literally\"a twitching of the strings of the harp\"or \"asong sung to the accompaniment of the harp,\"a hymn,\"asacred song sung in religious worship.\"  \nThe Hebrew for Psalms is'“Tehillim'”-that's the pluralfor\"Tehillah\"-meaning\"praise,\"a\"song of praise.\"Theroot of the word takes us to\"Hallel,\"those special readingsin our services for the festivals,theHallelujah Psalms\"from113 through 118.\"Hallelujah\"simply means \"Praise ye theLord.'  \nLet us return to that''twitching of the strings of the harp.\"You remember that the Temple in Jerusalem built by KingSolomon in about the year 1000 B.C.E.,destroyed by theBabylonians in 586B.C.E.,rebuilt with permission of Cyrus,Emperor of Persia in
