Quotations quotation Like other ancient writings, the Bible is full of quotations and allusions . Even though the Old Testament itself is almost the only writing we have in Classical Hebrew there are numerous quotations within it. Another kind of quotation is very common in the Bible.
Biblical stories are full of direct speech where the character is quoted.
This makes these stories vivid and fast moving. The prophets frequently also quote what others, usually their opponents are saying. However often the prophet quotes without explicitly telling the reader that they are doing so. All rights reserved.
