What is it about?
The paper discusses basic elements of ancient Hebrew poetry in Estonian, such as cola, bicola and tricola, sub-strophes, strophes (stanzas) and poems. The characteristics of a genuinely parallelistic bicolon are introduced via an aspective way of thinking (cf. Emma Brunner-Traut). Additional elements, such as sound figures or anacrusis, ellipsis, chiasmus, inclusio, etc., assist in the composition of smaller or larger poetical units. As an example text, the poem Isaiah 24:6–13 is analyzed through diachronic poetological lens.

Why is it important?
The introduction represents a specific diachronic look at poetical features in ancient Hebrew literature. Usually, either poetological studies happen to be synchronic, or redaction critical studies do not consider poeolology enough.
