Isaiah 1:2-20 Scansions with Prosodic Notations

Stichographic arrangements of ancient Hebrew poetry that have come down to us in manuscript tend to dichotomize lines, regardless of whether they consist of two or three versets. This has the advantage of maintaining a consistent arrangement. It has the further effect of emphasizing the major and deemphasizing the minor caesura of a 1:(1:1) or (1:1):1 structure. In the scansions that follow, the traditional emphasis on the major caesura is maintained, but the minor caesura is also indicated.
