  1. In rhetoric, repetition or resumption; especially, a figure by which the same word or phrase is repeated after one or more intervening words, or on returning to the same subject after a digression. An example of epanalepsis is found in 1 Cor. xi.: “(v. 18) When ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you. … (v. 20) When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.”
