Matthew 15:26

When the Daily Dose of Greek went over Matthew 15:26, I noticed the verbs λαβεῖν (to take) and βαλεῖν (to throw).

Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις.

And he answered, "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." [ESV]

That the stems of these two verbs are inversions of each other (λαβ- and βαλ-) highlights their opposite meanings to a degree.

Psalm 67:4

In my German translation of Psalm 67, I noticed the phrase "recht richtest" in verse 5:

Die Völker freuen sich und jauchzen, daß du die Menschen recht richtest und regierst die Völker auf Erden.  Sela.

In the ESV, this is verse 4:

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth.  Selah

As I've noted before with similar phrases, the repetition involved in the consonance of "recht richtest" (rendered as "judge... with equity" in the ESV) provides a sense of orderliness.

Genesis 1:28

When the Daily Dose of Septuagint went over (the first half of) Genesis 1:28, I noticed in particular what's rendered as "Be fruitful and multiply" in the ESV.

And God blessed them.  And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it..."

The meanings of "be fruitful" and "multiply" overlap, so this expression is a bit redundant, yet this redundancy matches the meaning.

Psalm 59:10, 12

In the German translation of Psalm 59, I found two instances of significant assonance.

First, verse 11:

Gott erzeigt mir reichlich seine Güte, Gott läßt mich auf meine Feinde herabsehen.

In the ESV, this is verse 10:

My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

Although a translation of the German is something more like:

God richly shows me His goodness; God lets me look down on my enemies.

The repetition involved in the assonance in the first half of the verse ("Gott erzeigt mir reichlich seine Güte" "God richly shows me His goodness") provides a sense of this abundance (for "reichlich" "richly").

Second, verse 13:

Das Wort ihrer Lippen ist nichts als Sünde; darum sollen sie sich fangen in ihrer Hoffart mit all ihren Flüchen und Lügen.

In the ESV, this is verse 12, with the division between sentences coming earlier and the second sentence extending into the next verse:

For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride.  For the cursing and lies that they utter,

Again, a translation of the German is a bit different:

The word of their lips is nothing but sin; therefore, they should be caught in their pride with all their cursing and lying.

It's a smaller instance, but like the above, the repetition involved in the assonance in "Flüchen und Lügen" ("cursing and lies") gives a slight sense of the large amount ("all").
