Anan Bed David, would go line by line of the Hebrew Bible.
Sa’adia Goan would go behind him and say, it’s not that simple this is what it means.
Sa’adia Goan wrote in commentaries.
Anan Ben David wrote his arguments in poems.
No line by line commentaries in the Midrash. This procedure is much more systematic.
