Abstract

 ABSTRACT. Jonah 1,1-16, Rewriting and Structuring the Text According to the Principles of Semitic Biblical Rhetoric. Rhetorical analysis of a text can help to better understand it in its unity. To achieve this, the method of rhetorical analysis consists of rewriting a text in such a way as to highlight the elements that make up its backbone (parallelisms, concentric forms of structuring the text, terms that are repeated and their position within a text, etc.). This article, using the methods of Biblical Rhetorical Analysis, focused on a part of the book of the prophet Jonah (3.1-4.5). For the purpose of the article, the text was translated by the author from the Greek version of the book (LXX). Each verse, or part of a verse, was rewritten, briefly explaining why the proposed rewriting was chosen. Subsequently, each part was rewritten, highlighting the elements that constitute the rhetorical structure. In a subsequent article, the rewriting and interpretation of the entire picture will be carried out.
