The main idea is found primarily at its pivot, while its elements, normally of an uneven number, are distributed on both sides of the pivot in a mirrored symmetry. Klaus undertakes here to compile a 'grammar' of the pattern, and to characterize, exemplify and differentiate its various forms.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;247.Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism)Electronic books.Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism)222222.06Ḳlaʼus Natan855802MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453718003321Pivot patterns in the Former Prophets1910634UNINA
