Green argues that the Beatitudes in Matthew's version are a
carefully constructed poem, exhibiting a number of the
characteristics of Hebrew poetry as we know it from the Old
Testament; but as certain of these, such as rhyme and alliteration,
cannot survive translation, what we have here is an original
composition in Greek. This is shown to be no isolated phenomenon in
the gospel; a series of texts found at specially significant points
in it disclose similar characteristics. The findings cut across
conventional source attributions and reveal the creative hand of
the evangelist. By studying the individual beatitudes in their
relation to each other as revealed by the formal structure, fresh
light is thrown upon their meaning and their background in the
scriptures of the Old Testament.>
