| 总结: | This paper examines the compositional style of the Holiness Legislation (HL, Leviticus 17-26), concluding that a significant number of verses are best understood as containing literary, grammatical, lexical, and phonological parallelism. Redefining sentences in HL as parallelistic rather than as linear has significant exegetical ramifications, providing evidence that a verse contains a single law reformulated and heightened in multiple clauses rather than multiple laws. The prolix repetition is often unnecessary to convey the law's kernel, and the nonessential material exposes the author's literary artistry. The parallelism therefore dominates the line by determining its shape and form. Cet article examine le style de composition de la Loi de Sainteté (LS, Lévitique 17-26), en concluant qu'un nombre significatif de versets sont mieux compris comme contenant un parallélisme littéraire, grammatical, lexical et phonologique. Cette redéfinition de certaines phrases de LS, mises en parallèle plutôt que de manière linéaire, a des ramifications exégétiques considérables qui apportent la preuve qu'un verset unique contient une loi unique, reformulée et augmentée par plusieurs clauses, plutôt que plusieurs lois. La répétition prolixe est souvent superflue à la transmission du noyau de la loi, et la matière non-essentielle met en relief le talent littéraire de l'auteur. Le parallélisme domine donc la ligne en déterminant sa forme et son format. |
