Leviticus 3

Anyone who says the Bible is easy to read has not read Leviticus or struggled with the sacrificial system. If anything is foreign to us, it is this. And though we too enjoy burning the fat in the fire, we in this country don't butcher our own animals. The blood, and fat, and innards and skin are largely unknown to us, except that we see some fat as desirable.

My glossary was somehow led astray several months ago. But it is not surprising I suppose that fat is ambiguous. So fatness is desirable, some is lusted after (1 Samuel 2) and some is to be burned and not eaten if one is strict about these things. So חלב is a word that has several glosses and I had some of them confused in several earlier chapters (now um, er,  'corrected'). The gross fat of חלב overlaps with the fat of דשׁן. Fat and fatness from דשׁן will have to be seen as the desirable kind, not the kind that we like to make smoke of or flare in a fire.

חלב cheeses(1), choicest(5), galbanum(1), gross fat(25), grossly(1), grossness(1), milk(35), untranslated(1)
דשׁן fat(5), fatness(6), fatten(2), fattened(2), fattens(1), sleek(1)

O my primitive soul.

How much can you stuff into a word root? נתן again shows almost its unlimited connotations. I have steadfastly refused to use put as one of its glosses to avoid another set of thoroughly overlapping glosses and stems such as I have with words for human movement. But I did use put forth a few times, and now I have added daub, an action with blood. The pieces get tighter as more of them are fit in place. It is worth noting that many of the connotations or uses of this Hebrew root go beyond what we would say in English. But I don't feel that I should compromise totally as I have with the go/come/walk/bring group. Incidentally while I was doing this chapter, I made changes to 22 other books, sometimes multiple chapters. I refined my concordance tests and revealed a number of minor inconsistencies. Probably not to the change of meaning, but certainly to change of nuance or tone. In every case the puzzle piece fits better with the change.

נתן assign(23), assigned(22), chanted(2), connect(1), connected(1), consign(15), consigned(16), daubed(3), demonstrate(2), demonstrated(1), demonstrating(1), gave permission(1), gave(231), give here(1), give(314), given(145), gives(73), giving(46), grant(4), granted(1), letting(1), made(11), make responsible(1), make(7), Nathan(17), netted(1), permit(27), permits(1), permitted(3), play(1), position(10), positioned(9), prevent(3), put forth(4), refrain giving(1), show gift(1), take(2), tighten(1), tightened(1), untranslated(2), yield(26), yielded(4), yielding(2)

There are a number of questions outstanding in every chapter - they remain until the emerge again and I review with a different viewpoint. In this, still pending in my mind is the offering by fire, and the fulfillment offering. Maybe these are additional types of offering.

Proverbs 16

The poetry of Proverbs is not in normal sentence structures. Slowly consider the alternative readings as you read. We have just noted the body of Yahweh implied in Exodus 30. Note throughout Proverbs how many body parts are mentioned. These books reflect an awareness of flesh and blood. They are material story, not a set of disembodied generalities.

I laughed at some of these and read a few of them over the phone to one of my sons. Enjoy them if you can.

Exodus 30

Note the two perfumes - one masculine, one feminine - lost in the English it. The first compound, the holy oil is for anointing Yahweh himself. To anoint the components of the tabernacle is to anoint the body of Yahweh (verse 31). The second incense compound represents the people  (verse 37). Mine and yours, as in the Song.

Ezra 1

The first 2 verses of Ezra reflect the last two verses of Chronicles. The raising of the proclamation is very subdued in the music. The recitation is on the lowest recitation note though the hope is very elevated (line 3 below).

The second to last verse of Chronicles and the first verse of Ezra have identical music:

2 Chr 36:22 = Ezra 1:1

The last verse of Chronicles squeezes another thought into it and so delays the rest point to בִּֽיהוּדָֽה. The shape of verse 2 in Ezra is different with a movement of notes I have not seen before, quietly painting on high reciting notes the decree of Cyrus. Music is difficult to describe in words. If we really want to get to know these Scriptures, we must hear them sung. There is subtlety in the phrasing and character portrayal in the sound. Could we tell the difference in speaker from one musical phrase to another...?

Ezra 1:2

[Update: this is the only verse with this pattern in the first phrase of the music: B revia ,C B zaqen-qatan,C B zaqen-qatan. The next closest is Jeremiah 21:12 which begins: B rev,C B z-q,C. For phrase beginnings, the next closest is Qohelet 3:21. These three are the only ones to begin B rev,C B. There are 30 verses that begin B rev C but they are significantly distinguished afterwards.

כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֗ר כֹּ֚רֶשׁ מֶ֣לֶךְ פָּרַ֔ס כֹּ֚ל מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ נָ֣תַן לִ֔י יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְהֽוּא פָקַ֤ד עָלַי֙ לִבְנֽוֹת ל֣וֹ בַ֔יִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּֽיהוּדָֽה	2	B	Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth Yahweh the God of the heavens has given me, and he has entrusted me to build for him a house in Jerusalem that is in Judah.	3e	4C	28 20
מִֽי־בָכֶ֣ם מִכָּל־עַמּ֗וֹ יְהִ֤י אֱלֹהָיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וְיַ֕עַל לִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּיהוּדָ֑ה וְיִ֗בֶן אֶת־בֵּ֤ית יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל ה֥וּא הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם	3		Who is among you from all his people? His God will be with him, so let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh the God of Israel. He is the God that is in Jerusalem.	3e	4C	25 24
וְכָל הַנִּשְׁאָ֗ר מִֽכָּל הַמְּקֹמוֹת֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר ה֣וּא גָֽר שָׁם֒ יְנַשְּׂא֙וּהוּ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י מְקֹמ֔וֹ בְּכֶ֥סֶף וּבְזָהָ֖ב וּבִרְכ֣וּשׁ וּבִבְהֵמָ֑ה עִם הַ֨נְּדָבָ֔ה לְבֵ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם	4		And all who are still here from all the places where they reside, let those of his place lift him up with silver and with gold and with property and with cattle, with a freewill offering to the house of this God that is in Jerusalem.	3e	4B	37 16

All these Sheshbazzar brought up with the exiled, who were brought up from Babel to Jerusalem.	3e	4C	21 22
