Summary/Abstract: The article uses the method of Semitic biblical rhetoric. A bottom-up analysis was carried out in two stages: the division into smaller literary units and the discovery of structures included in the text. A top-down analysis wasalso performed. It was possible to discover the structure of the entire studied text with the scheme A, B, C, C’, B’, A’. It is a parallel structure with a mirror composition. On the basisof these discoveries, an interpretation of the analyzed text was made. The most important conclusion drawn from the study is the indication for modern Christians to witness God as the Giver of life with their presence in the world.
