HYPERBATION
HYPERBATION
HYPERBATION is the figure of speech used, when words are transposed contrary to their wonted or most natural order of construction: e.g.-Mar 9:20, (the boy) (Jesus) (the boy) (Jesus) (the boy) (the boy) . The language is so framed, that EITHER we must put for [thus it might be referred to ], OR we must suppose a Transposition of the several members, which was the opinion of Bengel in the Gnom. See also Mar 16:1; 1Jn 2:24; 1Jn 2:27.-Rev 13:3; Rev 13:8, and the Gnom. on the passages quoted. Comp. the Title HYPALLAGE.
