These exercises are based on R. Meynet’s Treatise on Biblical Rhetoric. The Treatise is a kind of grammar, and everyone knows that you cannot learn a language by reading or even memorising its rules of grammar: one must learn by practising them patiently, and this requires much exercise. Many people are interested in biblical rhetorical analysis for its results in better understanding biblical texts; however, some are not content with that and would like to use the methodology themselves.
Like any profession, a serious apprenticeship is necessary. The ideal would be to train under the guidance of a competent master who can follow the students’ work, advise them and correct them when necessary. This book is intended as a guide, like a master.
They begin with a series of exercises, organised on two levels: that of the passage (or ‘pericope’), then that of the ‘sequence’ or structured group of passages. The text to be analysed is given in the original language alongside a very literal translation; some advice follows, especially to read and study a given part of the Treatise which will be essential for the exercise in question; finally, a whole series of questions is provided to enable the learners, if they so wish, to find out for themselves how the text is composed.
The second part contains the “answer” to the exercises. The path suggested by the questions in the exercises is followed step by step. These answers enable learners to check their own work.
This book of Exercises is not a book to be read, but a book to be written. To be satisfied―as one might be tempted to do―with reading the answer, before having done the exercise, would serve little purpose for those who do not wish to simply accumulate knowledge, but to learn how to work which is not―at all―the same thing.
This second edition has not only corrected the errors, but also replaced some of the exercises with new ones that are more appropriate. In addition, the colours should help to enhance learning.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ISD LLC, Bristol, Connecticut, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
