# General Information:

The writer uses merisms to describe various aspects of life from one extreme to the other. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-merism]])

# For everything there is an appointed time, and a season for every purpose

These two phrases mean basically the same thing and are combined for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# under heaven

This refers to things that are done on earth. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: "on the earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
