Epistrophe

The epiphora, also Epipher (from Greek ἐπιφορά ( epiphora ), " adding, adding," ), referred to as rhetorical (word ) figure, the single or multiple repetition of a word or group of words at the end of successive sentences or verses.

The epiphora is one of the simplest, oldest and most common rhetorical and poetic style means they most frequently encountered in religious language, such as in the Bible. Today, the term is also used generalized in linguistics.

Figurative mirror counterpart of epiphora is the anaphora; closely related to both are Anadiplosis and Kyklos.
