    The document analyzes differences between the Masoretic Text and Septuagint translation of 1 Samuel 1:5b-6 regarding Hannah's barrenness. It finds that while the opening and closing lines are nearly identical, the central lines of the Septuagint provide more empathetic description of Hannah's emotional state. Specifically, it uses cumulative parallelism to expand on her distress and despondency. This poetic interlude in the Septuagint version relates to what comes next in the text.

    A Poetic Interlude in the LXX?

    MT (1:5b-6) Vorlage Septuagint

    < .

    Opening and closing couplets are almost identical, with minor stylistic variations (in cursives).

    The frame is an objectively phrased theological/scientific account of the causes of Hannahs barrenness, while the central lines
    are an empathetic description of Hannahs resulting emotional state.

    The two clauses form a cumulative parallelism, where the element mentioned in the previous line is repeated and
    amplified in the second.

    How does this relate to what comes next? ()
