This paper follows the development of concatenation from its early use in Ancient Near Eastern literature through its use in the Hebrew Bible, in Hebrew Ben-Sira, and ultimately in Rabbinic literature. We demonstrate that the Rabbis adopted this rhetorical pattern for stylistic purposes and also used it as an editing device. The latter use of the rhetorical device in question is only rarely attested in the Hebrew Bible.

古代近东文学，希伯来经文和犹太教文学的串联

本文关注串联的发展，从早期在近东古代文学中使用串联，到在希伯来圣经，希伯来本西拉以及最终在犹太教徒文学中使用串联。我们证明了Rabbis为风格目的采用了这种修辞模式，并将其用作编辑工具。在希伯来语圣经中很少证明后者使用了这种修辞手法。
