| Summary: | Using examples from the prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah) and wisdom books (Proverbs, Job, Psalms, Ben Sira), this article suggests that the phenomenon of rhyme, while by no means ubiquitous, plays more than a marginal role in classical Hebrew poetry. Rhyme often has the structural function of delimiting poetic units, by marking the opening and closing lines. Mit Beispielen von den Propheten (Jesaja, Jeremia) und den Weisheitsbüchern (Proverbien, Hiob, Psalmen, Ben Sira) deutet dieser Artikel an, dass das Phänomen des Reims (obgleich keineswegs überall) mehr als eine Randrolle in der klassischen hebräischen Poesie spielt. Durch die Bezeichnung der Anfangs- und Schlusszeilen hat oft der Reim eine strukturelle Rolle, um poetische Einheiten abzugrenzen. |
