Paraphrase

a free translation or rendering of a passage; a restatement of a passage, sentence, or work, in which the sense of the original is retained, but expressed in other words, and generally more fully, for the purpose of clearer and fuller explanation; a setting forth in ampler and clearer terms of the signification of a text, passage, or word. In Scotland it is applied specially to 67 versifications of Scripture passages used with psalms and hymns in divine worship.
