Episode 012 - The Bible - The Beginning to the End - The Five Poetical Books

The third section of the Old Testament – after the Pentateuch and
then the historical books are the five poetical books: Job,
Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.


Although we call these books “poetical,” it doesn't mean that
they rhyme. It means they have a structure of repeated ideas.
This is the form of poetry the Hebrews used. These 5 books are
marvelous books of expression.


The poetical books are a demonstration or reflection of the
rejoicing and the protests of man in response to life. These
books show all the feelings of the heart, and the yearnings and
desires of every man and woman.
