In a synthetic relationship, one idea leads to another or is derived from the prior. It can be cause and effect, an explanation, or a condition followed by a consequence.<\/p>\n
Psalms 23:1<\/p>\n
The LORD is my shepherd; \u2192 I shall not want.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The fact that the Lord God is watching over me like a shepherd leads to the realization that my needs will be taken care of.<\/p>\n
Psalms 99:3<\/p>\n
Let them praise Your great and awesome name \u2192 — He is holy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The last phrase explains why people should praise God’s name.<\/p>\n
Job 9:3<\/p>\n
If one wished to contend with Him, \u2192 He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The reason men cannot argue with God is that we cannot answer His points.<\/p>\n
Psalms 24:9<\/p>\nLift up\u00a0your heads, O\u00a0you gates!
\nLift up,\u00a0you everlasting doors!
\n\u2192 And the King of glory shall come in.<\/blockquote>\nStyles can be combined. Here two synonymous phrases command an opening to be made and the last phrase explains why it is necessary.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrior Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHebrew Poetry\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
