Parallelism


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or state of being parallel.
  • (n.) Resemblance; correspondence; similarity.
  • (n.) Similarity of construction or meaning of clauses placed side by side, especially clauses expressing the same sentiment with slight modifications, as is common in Hebrew poetry; e. g.: --//At her feet he bowed, he fell:/Where he bowed, there he fell down dead. Judg. v. 27.
