I have finished a book entitled The Semitic Secret—How Biblical Authors Organized Their Books To Include Both Dictionary/Commentary and a Method to Disclose Scribal Errors. I am seeking feedback.
Bart contends that we cannot determine what has been deleted or added to the Bible. I have discovered that the Semitic authors were following a disciplined set of rules when composing their works. These principles enable us to know what has been added, roughly what has been deleted. In other words, we largely can reconstruct the original texts.
I am including here a link to the main part of the book that lays out the rules and principles used by the Semitic authors. I demonstrate them with the Gospel of Mark and with a section from the Garden of Eden Allegory in Genesis.

I intend to revise the book before showing it to Bart or to others. I would appreciate any feedback. You also may write to me at ** you do not have permission to see this link **
Thank you,
Robert

Yesterday, the link to The Semitic Secret required authorization.
You demonstrate with the Gospel of Mark, but Mark probably is not a Semitic author.
The Gospel of Mark (Wikipedia) is anonymous.[10] Most scholars date it to just after 70 CE, when Titus (a Roman general and subsequently emperor) destroyed the temple;[6] it was written in Greek, for a gentile audience, and probably in Rome, although Galilee, Antioch (third-largest city in the Roman Empire, located in northern Syria), and southern Syria have also been suggested.
The Gospel of Mark follows the Semitic rules I found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Here is another link: Hopefully GDrive does not force authorization. It is only the first 63 pages of the book:

If you have further problems, please write to me ** you do not have permission to see this link **. Thank you.
The new link works.
The good thing about your book is that it describes a method for reciting and remembering a work.
Personally, I think the examples you show should be put forward chronologically. First show Semitic Parallelism in Genesis, Exodus, 1 Kings, Isaiah, Daniel, and Zechariah, then move to a selection from the Dead Sea Scrolls, then move into Mark, Matthew, Luke, Acts, then the gospel of Thomas.

I have heard of pedimental composition in the Torah.
In the Book of Leviticus, the reader is faced by a trilogy of chapters, 18 and 20 repeating each other, and between them is chapter 19 which must be considered to be of central importance, if only because of the way it is framed by the other two. … In the Leviticus version of the Laws (as opposed to the Deuteronomy version of the Laws), the laws in the two framing chapters (18 and 20) focus on idolatry and sexual offenses. The first thing that the Leviticus writer has done is to rearrange the series of prohibitions, putting all the sexual offenses into the outer chapters, the framing sections, and keeping all chapter 19’s laws about righteous dealings in the middle, conspicuously in the place of honor.

It has been informative to spend some time with your work.
