Paraleipsis; or, a Passing by
Addition (brief) of that which is professedly ignored
Par-a-leips-is, , a passing over, omitting, from (para), beside, and (leip), to leave behind. Sometimes spelt PARALEPSIS.
Called also PARASIOPESIS, , a passing over in silence, from (para), beside, and (sipeesis), a being silent, from (sipa), to be silent.
The Latins called it PRAETERMISSIO, a leaving aside, prtermission, a passing over, and PRAETERITIO, a going past, passing by.
This figure is used when the speaker professes a wish to pass something by in silence, which he nevertheless adds by a brief allusion to it.
Heb 11:32.-And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon and of Barak, etc., and then proceeds to allude briefly to them all in verses 33-38.
