Do not fill this in! ====Poetic books==== {{See|Sifrei Emet}} In Masoretic manuscripts (and some printed editions), Psalms, Proverbs and Job are presented in a special two-column form emphasizing the parallel [[wikt:stich#English|stichs]] in the verses, which are a function of their [[Biblical poetry|poetry]]. Collectively, these three books are known as {{lang|he-Latn|Sifrei Emet}} (an acronym of the titles in Hebrew, {{lang|he|rtl=yes|איוב, משלי, תהלים}} yields {{lang|he-Latn|Emet}} {{lang|he|rtl=yes|אמ"ת}}, which is also the Hebrew for "[[truth]]"). These three books are also the only ones in Tanakh with a special system of [[Hebrew cantillation|cantillation]] notes that are designed to emphasize parallel stichs within verses. However, the beginning and end of the book of Job are in the normal prose system. * {{lang|he-Latn|Təhīllīm}} ({{lang|he|rtl=yes|תְהִלִּים}}) – [[Psalms]] * {{lang|he-Latn|Mīšlē}} ({{lang|he|rtl=yes|מִשְׁלֵי}}) – [[Book of Proverbs|Proverbs]] * {{lang|he-Latn|’Īyyōḇ}} ({{lang|he|rtl=yes|אִיּוֹב}}) – [[Book of Job|Job]] Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
