“Both in poetry and prose, repetition is the hallmark of the Hebraic style. It is such a dominant element in Hebraic writing that it can even be seen in the grammar of the language … the way Hebrew supplies the force of a superlative by repetition, as in Exodus 30:10, which literally reads, ‘It is a holiness of holinesses unto the Lord’ (translated in English as ‘It is most holy unto the Lord’), and as in the threefold repetition of Isaiah 6:3: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts’ [2 Ne. 16:3]” (Barney, “Understanding Old Testament Poetry,” 51).
