The Tenach is the Old Testament.   
All of Psalms and Proverbs are Hebrew poetry.   
The Book of Genesis is full of poetry.   
Much of the Torah was sung.

Parallelism   
Parallelism is most commonly found in the Book of Psalms and the Book of Proverbs.   
Parallelism is the expression of one idea in two or more different ways.

[CyrilSebastian]

Psalm 119 Verse 105 is a simple parallel.   
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. 
The above example can be written as:   
Your word is:     
1 a lamp to my feet   
2 a light for my path

[CyrilSebastian]

Lamp and light are paralleled.   
My feet and my path are paralleled.

Several examples of the Block logic style of writing can be found in the creation story.
