Genesis 7: The Breath of Life Vs. The Flood

I am not well versed with sacred verse. So it was difficult for me to think of a passage of scripture whose structure surpassed others in quality. I thought of stories that might be mighty in description. It turns out I was right in my own right to do so. #Antanaclasis

In Genesis chapter 7, the Lord commands Noah to build an ark and to gather his family and two of every animal to survive the flood that was about to happen. This section of scripture contains various repetitions in the form of anaphora and epistrophe  and several uses of climax.
