what are the different literary styles employed in the bible?

I don’t think writing styles had been developed yet back when the scriptures were first written. 😛

There are four literary styles employed in the Bible according to the website www.rpeurifoy.com/christn/theolog/litstyot.htm: historical reporting, allegory, personification, and symbolism or imagery. The website gives detailed examples of each and quotes from the Old Testament. Each of the literary styles applies to the New Testament as well.

Narrative, poetry, proverbs, parables, lists.
