- Did you know that a third of the Bible is ancient Israelite poetry? Poetry is a rich and artistic form of human communication, but often the most difficult to read. In this video we’ll explore the unique characteristics of biblical poetry, so you can discover its beauty and power for yourself.

If any of you are English majors at Uni and take a poetry class, read a psalm for the class. We had poetry readings in my class and I got up and read Psalm 22 out loud. I was super nervous and shaking like a leaf but God gave me strength to get through it. Some people said it wasn’t poetry but most of the psalms ARE poetry, and beautifully written poetry at that! Plus most of my classmates are not believers including my professor so I hope it at least convicted some them to be more open towards the Bible and hopefully one day read it for themselves. The Bible is such an awesome book, I praise God and thank Him for allowing me to see the truth and understand scripture.
Jondude20 that was a brave thing to do to honor God! God bless you ☺️🙏🏾
Keep doing that for the Kingdom, be brave in the Lord.
That’s awesome that you did that!
When you say non believers you mean not Christians or just Christians with low faith, if it is the second one I feel sorry indeed cuz I'm a Muslim and I have read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation and its beyond me how someone would skip reading the holy scripture his religion
That is wonderful 😃
The Bible Projest’s art will never stop surprising and amaze me.
Raymond Reviews The sound is beautiful, too.
Fix your Grammar, but I agree.
Raymond Reviews can you pray for me to looes weight
Ironclad 917 can you please pray for me to looes weight

God bless bible project 🙏✝️
ChilloutDeer yes they r so great

As an animator, I really appreciate the Diamond scene with switching angles of the hand and the diamond itself. Very masterful! Bible Project's excellence in honoring God through art is a great example to us artists!
Agreed. This video was particularly striking, within a body of excellent work.
I honestly love that take. Add that they have way with words. Very eloquent. God's given talent. :D
I absolutely love the Bible project. It is so engrossing! I would like to start supporting your efforts monetarily! Plz lmk how I can do that!!!!
Brought me to tears because yes!
I'm not a christian and I write poetry here and now. I read some chapters from Song of Songs and found it one of the simplest and most beautiful poetry ever written. I'm here so that I can better understand it next time I read it. 😁
"For He who began a good work in you will complete it"🙏🏽🤲🏾❤️
Brother Come to christ, Jesus is knocking on your door!!
When I first read the Song of Songs, it was so beautiful to me, too! And it only gets more beautiful as you start to understand it more 💖
I just have to add - while I adore Bible Project's art... this episode is a pure masterpiece.
😮
The best UA-cam channel to me.
Arun Jacob Jac and that’s tea lol
Agreed!
Amen to that!
"Biblical poetry is a bottomless well."
Very well said. Keeps us coming back over and over again when the new wells dry out.
Am I the only one who got surprised when it ended? 😁 I was like it's the end already??? I want more!!!!😂😂😂 Good stuff @TheBibleProject you folks rock!
Right? 5 minutes felt like 2 seconds!
Hi Ben! The next video in this series ties into this one and covers metaphor usage in the Bible.
The Bible Project that's actually a very good one, because the writers use lot's of metaphors that sometimes sound... Uh strange. 😂 Thank God for what y'all doing, we'd keep supporting as we can
@@thakidchurch1393 No pimp. That shit felt like 5 hours...
Personally, I dislike a lot of poetry.
However - there are parts of the Bible that never fail to give me chills. Psalm 104 is one such poem. There are many more but... man. Uberchills!
Then ill be reading that tonight 😛
Bible Illustrated psalm 104. I am blessed.
I love this chapter! And it sure does speak to some other beliefs I have of the world itself
Bless the Lord oh my soul! ❤....
Poetry in general is my biggest weakness - I’m too literal! I’ve been praying for guidance on tackling it since ⅓ if the Bible is poetry I’ve got to understand it! Prayers were answered through TBP videos! Thank you TBP! May YaHWeH continue to Bless you richly! ✞
Kelly Bezz Just try to find reference and metaphor. Find regularities and irregularities, within context. Find anomaly and obvious sign that it is not literal.
One door close another open. You don't take this literal because what "door" is referring to is symbolic (a way or opportunity). Blue is serenity and peace but literally it isn't, it is representative.
Htoo Doh thank you. It is a work in progress. I’m a scientist (physician) by training and it’s a process to change my thinking and approach to words and sentences. Thank you for the suggestions! God Bless you.
I hear you Kelly. I also have a tough time with most of the poetry in the bible. And even when they say in TBP that "the repetitive nature forces you to slow down and linger over the feeling of it all" I have a hard time relating to that because when I see something repeat too many times, my mind tends to glaze over the subject or just lose focus altogether. It's frustrating, but at the same time, I can't force myself to understand. I can only ask and in God's perfect timing, he will show me the meaning.
Do Bo well said! We just have to realize we have difficulties with it and admit that to our Creator and ask for His Wisdom! May YaHWeH help us both understand His Word! God Bless you.
Kelly Bezz
Lots of Christians take poetry in the bible literally,
I use too, but now I know that most of the bible is
History and poetry.
As a creative writer who wants to publish Christian Poet in the future, this video made me so happy. It was beautiful to watch, and very vivid itself. Thanks for sharing!
I like to write poetry. There are certain things that are hard to explain that poetry makes a bit easier. This video not only inspired me but also gave me a greater appreciation for poetry in the Bible!
Alicia Segura yeah i agree
This is honestly one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Really love everything you guys do. I’m a philosophy undergraduate in the UK, and your videos and podcasts (esp. the ones on wisdom literature) really show a love of wisdom so absent from most of my lecturers and colleagues (it’s a little ironic ‘philosophy’ is supposed to be ‘the love of wisdom’)
I love poetry I write poems myself praise the Lord for biblical poetry love the bible project
God's works is unpredictable. I'm currently reading Bible from Genesis to Revelation and yesterday I started reading Psalm and ta-daaa this video came. Such a perfect timing.
Felicia - doing the same and I'm also on Psalms currently.
My eyes viewed the beauty,
my spirit breathed it in.
(how did I do? 😊) Amazing work, BP. 🌸📖
Angel Sanchez excellent 👍
Going though the poetic books right now. Spot on timing!
I keep telling people God has art classes in heaven. Proof? Bible Project! May God keep blessing this ministry
This one is right in my wheelhouse, you guys. Thank you for this. I believe this video will not only deepen my understanding of scripture, but make me a better poet as well! Keep up the great work!
JonJorgenson Good luck with the channel Jon. I always try to ask you in your live streams what you think of "the communion of saints" and if you think saints hear and bring our prayers to God/pray to God for us.
What surprise me is not only the animation (that helps me to understand everything), but that way that Tim explain the Bible in such simple way. Thank you so much for sharing with us all your knowledge. God bless you.
Seriously, these are the only videos I don't scroll down to see the comments. This whole line of How to Read the Bible has captured me. I can't stress enough at how blessed and what a talent God has given those who are involved. The animation is superb and the words are chosen just as wisely as the Gospels in a day and age like ours today. God bless all those involved in this entire project.
The Bible Project has given me a new understanding of the power of God's Word, and God has ignited a hunger for it in me. God bless you!
Bible project really helped my Christian growth❤️thanks.
Bro this channel is a bigger blessing weeks after weeks ! :o :D thank you Lord !
I'm just like 😯. Thank you!
Theee best thing that has ever happened to me is coming across 'The Bible Project' content. Thank you for allow God to use you in this way. 📍South Africa
This is MY favorite day. There IS something about poetry that causes me to down and deeply observe what's going on.
🎶Peace like a river floods my soul.🎶 It is so sweet. I wholeheartedly agree there is a certain order to biblical poetry that is masterfully written.
Glory to God. I needed to know more about poetry. Can’t wait for more😍🙏🏻 thank you
So awesome!!! A good example of a “Refrain” would be Psalm 136, right? “His love endures forever” repeated after every line. 😍
And for inclusio, psalm 117
Like the dream-like watercolor effect
These animations are something else! :D
Bible Project videos made it easier for me to understand the real story of the Bible. It's artistically designed for visualization which allowed me to grasp the simple truths that the authors of each book intend to show. Praise God for stumbling on this very rich and informative videos.
May God bless you more 🙏
i am so loving your outstanding creativety😚😚😊
May God bless you always for sharing God's words
What more can an art and literature student ask for?!! Seriously in depth and fantastic, really unpacks literary devices!
I cannot thank you guys enough, thank you for doing the will of God, you’re helping people like me in India and so many other places where we do not have a physical human teacher present to teach us . All glory to God
I love the Bible Project's videos, but this one really stands out. This video really captures your imagination, and translates dialogue into presentation in a stunning fashion. These videos aren't just informative, they're formal artistic expressions, molding a thought into a visual representation of that idea. I sincerely applaud the Bible Project for their outstanding content!
I watch this every night love it keep up the good work
God Bless Bible Project 🙏🏼🙌❤
I have learned Soooo Much ...Praise God 🙌🙌
Thank you Lord for the “prayers” that are recorded in your word! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The Bible Project defines the beauty of the bible! What beauty that have defined!
I just won't stop praising GOD for giving us you guys!!!!!!!
thank you bible project. I am sharing this with my girlfriend who is starting out in understanding the Bible. I pray that she will one day accept Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. :)
The graphic artists have really upped their game! I'm thoroughly enjoying the new effects. Particularly the 3-dimensional perspective.
Thank you for increasing literacy in this arena in such an accessible way.
Love your videos !! Great learning tool for my family , helps my son understand so much better
Thank y’all for helping me learn the Bible you are great teachers.
PRAISE God for this Endeavor ,God bless Bible Project!🙏
Biblical poetry is beautiful as it speaks to the heart about God's truth. I love reading Psalms in particular.
+The Bible Project On the next video, you guys should have Tim be the confused one who asks question and have John provide the answers, just to trip us up.
Wow, exciting message and beautiful illustrations. The Bible Project is my favorite UA-cam channel!
To know yourself write a poem; laying open your soul begins with the pen. That is why David and Solomon are my favorite biblical poets. I see myself in their words.
Thank you so much for covering this!!!
GOD graciously leading our
heart .. leading our mind ..
leading our soul to HIS deep truth
..leading us back to HIM ..
to HIS Love which is beyond all
understanding
Thank you, TBP! Y'all's vids are the best!
*Loving these videos too much*
I have a doctorate in education and have been watching your videos. They are excellent! You guys are wonderful teachers. God bless you. Praying for you guys and your ministry.
its beautiful indeed. Thank you for taking explaining the importance of Poetry in the Bible my all time favorite and timeless
Psalm 23 describing how a good shepherd God he is.. he will take us to green pastures, stream water, his rode and staff (both protect and guide,comfort us for the safety or when we are astray, and that even if we walk through the valley of death we will have no fear. And that, goodness and love SURELY will follow me all the days of my life. Very fitting for this Covid19 . :)
Thank you guys so much for these video God bless you guys and your families Amen
I'm a visual learner - this was so good for me. I studied the Bible when in college but that was, er - a long time ago. Great video!!!.
Praise the lord 🙌, God bless you guys.
I have been feeling a lack of passion recently, but I watched this whole series up to here and now I'm jacked! Thanks so much! God is really using you guys
For awhile now, I’ve been listening to your videos as I fall asleep at night. Thank you so much for filling my evenings with God’s word and teaching. It’s brought me so much comfort and peace. Keep doing what you’re doing and may The Lord bless you in all you do. :)
You guys just make the Word of God more interesting by each videos xD👌
I'm really encourage to read the bible after watching your videos 😊✌️🤓
Please do a part two to this including parallelism, alliteration, assonance, and sharpening perspective/focus. All essential to Biblical poetry, like how the repetition of words in Proverbs weave a web of connecting words that makes one feel like they are walking on a twisting and swirling path, while the poet himself talks about choosing the right "path". Amazing stuff!
Yes I always thought this about the Bible, it’s pure poetry and I always found that so so beautiful. Thanks for this video 💕
Lovely diamond analogy :)) On a more personal note, I would subconsciously check-out or not fully grasp whenever I’d see verses in poetry form. This video allowed me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art. thank you!
This was excellent! I'm a literature minor and have ALWAYS LOVED literature, all sorts of literature, but I've always struggled with the Scriptures. Can't memorize it for the life of me, and while re-reading certain passages and books helps me to understand them, I apparently never had the tools to PROPERLY analyze what I was reading, especially poetry. This video is INVALUABLE to me! Thank you so much!!!
Man this is so key to understanding why you're reading what you're reading. Very interesting!
3:35 this video has got to be one of the most beautiful videos I've seen from TBP. I absolutely love it, especially the art. Kudos to everyone behind the animation. 💖
Such creativity brings me look at at God's word differently and get a deeper understanding of God's character. It's simply amazing. May God bless and provide for you to make more videos to strengthen the body of Christ.
Can't wait for the podcasts about this topic! Could you give some literature for us to learn to read biblical poetry, especially the prophets?
It's already on podcast my friend.
This podcast is coming out next week! :)
They beautifully and clearly unfolded the explanation on biblical poems! The art in this video is so intentional, clarifying the points shared in such a smooth and rich manner ✨
God bless you all and your whole family! You all are so amazing and strong! Thank you so much for this video BibleProject team! ❤️ Does anyone want me to pray for them or their family? I would love to do that!😊❤️
Love this! It was much needed in my personal study. I love the way Tim reads the poetry on his podcast teachings, he brings them to life. Thank you for all the work you do in bringing The Bible alive.
Psalms 6 got me through my depression and helped me turn to God. It's so simple and powerful!
Beautiful, thank you! ❤️
God bless you guys
The fact that you used poetry to illustrate on poetry both verbally & imagery is masterful & divinely excellent. God bless you all. I would fund a project to create a detailed series of the entire bible by you guys. Cartoons & animation nowadays are so corrupted & evil you can't honestly let you kids watch anything without you being present
I can't wait to watch and hear more from the Project. Each new video and teaching has blown my mind and really helped me internalize the deep truth and complexity of scripture. Thanks and much love!
The OG 1 Climax of artistry poetic surplus of the Word. 7 keys in piano sheet music and notes
God truly is our Eloquent author of artful words
Praise you Lord for these :) May the Lord bless this platform more and more! Greetings from the Philippines! This videos are a productive way to do during this lockdown :)
These videos are what I needed....in this day its so easy to just read the bible and put it down.,,,, understanding how it works cuts through bullshit leaving me wanting more.....THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
You are blessed with creativity, enjoying theses snapshots of the Bible.
The visual of the diamond is going to stick in my heart from now on. What a way to portray the multifaceted aspects of God's word!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Tim & John for giving me an appreciation of biblical poetry that I never had before!!!😊💓😃😄
Thank you, I'm a little slower to learn on my own, you guys help me understand. You help make the Bible a beautiful gift to me.
Oh this particular video is one of my absolute favourites! Thank you. The artistry is phenomenal! Hallelujah!
Probably one of your most aesthetically pleasing videos for some of the most aesthetically pleasing literature in all the world. Thanks guys!
Wow. This really made me feel the awe of the words in the bible. Poetry within itself is simply amazing, but to take it to an even deeper, yet higher, understanding is simply sublime. And you guys and your artistry; how wonderful. I understood the words by the art. Holy inspiration!
Oh my! Just as the steadfast Love of our God is new every morning, so is His wisdom given you guys to come up with these amazing narratives! May the whole crew remain blessed always in Jesus name. I look forward to meeting you guys!
I Love what you do. God is so gracious for giving to all Bible Project's team such a wonderful gift and for us the opportunity of watching it. This were the most beautiful video I ever had watched on UA-cam
I love poetry and I love biblical poetry.
i've never thought of bible verses as poetry and i think that it is awesome what they are doing!!
Awesome and excited☺
So Moses was the 1st Dr. Dre in a way. lol ☺️ This video was amazing y'all. This phenomenally helped me understand R.A.P (Rhythm And Poetry) even more as I endeavor in my Holy Hip Hop journey and upgrade my lyrics through folk like the Bible Project who are being guided by the Ruach Kodesh 💯% F A C T S Amen in y'all. Keep grind'n cr8'n content Thank you. Bless up love ya' in The Christ Jesus name Amen 🙏🏻 🕊
I needed this today. Im a inspiring writer whos had been having a serious case of writers block. But this realky helped me get back to the right frame of mind. Two birds one stone, I learned something biblical, and poetic all at once. Thanks. May the good lord keep blessing you all.
Yassssssss! This is what I need right now.
