Tim Bulkeley has posted a thorough carnival even with footnotes to slow us down.
I have noted particularly and added to my reader the Sri Lankan blog of Vinoth Ramachandra. He is noting the past though not clearly enough the future implications of the world's being ruled by 62 men. Here is an irony worth reading on Sanders visiting Liberty University: I can only hope that a Jew like Bernie Sanders will help these Christians go back and read the Hebrew Bible.
This will take time to work through...
Consistent with this comment though is another quote from Travis McMaken also linked in the carnival: “Christianity” in North America—i.e., those who claim to worship this same God, Yahweh, as vectored by way of Jesus Christ—serves as just this sort of justification for those who have wealth, isolating them from God’s demand for solidarity with the poor. Solidarity, not charity.

Work is cut out for me
This morning I did a spontaneous presentation (very little from me) based on a little of the last chapter in a book by Francis Landy (The Beauty and the Enigma 2001 - p 399, chapter 13 Ghostwriting). I had coffee with Francis a few days ago. He wasn't at our conversation today, but the beauty of his writing stands alone in this chapter. It is fiction in the voice of the young Isaiah:
How will I write what must be one of thousands of possible explorations of this music - with beauty, and the light of Yah (אוּרִיּהוּ) as Francis has named the young Isaiah's teacher above.
To be understood, I must have a singable book but not a music book. I must have an accurate book, but not a scholarly book. I must have a gentle book, but focused. I use easily the language of music, tonic, dominant, supertonic, mode. But even this editor does not know the words! I would not use the language of diacritics, te'amim, atnah, munah, etc because it will be unreadable. I must have a book in English that can be read in English by a non-musician and yet I must have the Hebrew and its transcription or there will be nothing there. I am working on it. Here - could you / would you read this?
Last week I explained between boards to a fellow bridge-player what I was doing. When he hear about the hand-signals in the Hebrew Bible, he was amazed and said "Who knew!"
A few weeks ago I sang a little to my 2 year old grandson, (a musician already). He heard and took note. His whole body understood without words both Hebrew and music. He just knew. And I knew he knew. There was no paradigm shift required for him with his already deep knowledge of Prokofiev and the rhythm of real music. But there is for the rest of us. If we will learn to hear, we must shift our fondly held positions.
The young Isaiah can teach us the reality of the word. Thank-you Francis Landy for this marvellous jumping off point.
Uriahu taught me to read. To read for the most hidden implications, for the music of the letters, for the spirit of the one, the one who wrote. To watch the letters disappear invisible into the depths from which they came. Letters are pathways for the one who knows. We could count them, transpose them, perceive their secret symmetries. We could read black for white, space for silence, the gaps between the letters. Uriahu taught me to concentrate on one text, a few lines, for many months. It became living matter, shape, sound. And was divested of those properties, until it was pure letter, the slightest movement and trace of breath.I read it twice, the second time putting just a little of the before and after into the reading. Why? someone asked, and I said, because he mentions the music of the letters. From there I went on to show a little of the music that I see in the text and which I an learning to hear. And I learned that the response to such a claim will be multiply complex depending on what the background of the hearers is. Whether one has a Judaic background as some might, or Islamic, and whether it is from this continent or that, and whether one is Christian, and whether we have historical information or not, and whether the music is sealed, or not. So many online have said to me that I am wrong or Haïk-Vantoura is wrong, but no one said that today. Yet I could hear the wheels turning and the gears clinking into place - whether of the multiple traditions of cantillation or of the Muslim call to prayer, or music from Christian tradition, gears turning from round the world.
How will I write what must be one of thousands of possible explorations of this music - with beauty, and the light of Yah (אוּרִיּהוּ) as Francis has named the young Isaiah's teacher above.

Where does God occur, and how
OK that's a silly question - but here's what I mean:
The Hebrew for God / gods אלוהם occurs in various forms, construct, with pronouns etc, and alone. When it is alone, it sometimes has the definite article. Most translations ignore the definite article. They gloss it as God rather than the gods. Why?
The distribution is this:
In Torah, with the article 59, without 736
In the former prophets 123 and 386
In the latter prophets 10 and 373 (Jonah gets 5 of the 10)
In the three books of truth, 6 and 437 (3 each for Psalms and Job)
In the five scrolls 31 - all in Qohelet and 13, 0,0 for Lamentations, Song and Esther
In the remaining 141 with and 357 without the article.
In case you were wondering האלוהם never takes construct or pronoun suffixes.
These totals are probably quite close to the right totals, but I have not checked my entire database for errors yet.
Has anyone written about this question?
Update: here's an example from Exodus 3: And Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, a priest of Midian,
and he drove his flocks behind the wilderness and came to the hill of the gods toward Horeb.

Preparation
This is an incomplete post but I want to use the incomplete information to consider a study done in Iceland on belief in the creation of heaven and earth among the Icelanders. Apparently no Icelander under the age of 25 considers that God made the heavens and the earth.
Here's my list of places in the HB (Helpful Bear) that reference שׁמימ, ארצ, and either עשה or ברא. (It may not be complete but it's probably not too far off.)
How does today's belief or lack of it relate to the ancient belief? Are those ancient words at all present today with any credibility? What about the immanent presence creating today? Immanence rather than distance. Where does responsibility lie for the earth and the heavens? And space junk and evil and destruction?
To summarize: heaven earth, doing/making/creating occur 4 times in Genesis. They are a frame for creation and a center (verse 26). Three times in Exodus - 2 in the Decalogue. Once in the instruction on the Sabbath. 3 instances in Deuteronomy - sermon, Decalogue, and the covenant chapter. Twice in Kings, 10 times in Isaiah, 6 in Jeremiah, 7 in the Psalms, and three more - Nehemiah and Chronicles, in the context of the temple. Where I have not translated below, you can hover over the link to see the English.

1 Kings 15
More palace intrigue. The music is not without interest. Some of the ornaments seem to indicate astonishment at some of these actions, like the generosity of Yahweh contrasted with the bribery of Asa. Interesting also that the 'and there was war' verses are varied. But I am not pursuing this with too great alacrity.
| 1 Kings 15 | Fn | Min | Max | Syll | ||
| וּבִשְׁנַת֙ שְׁמֹנֶ֣ה עֶשְׂרֵ֔ה לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ יָרָבְעָ֣ם בֶּן־נְבָ֑ט מָלַ֥ךְ אֲבִיָּ֖ם עַל־יְהוּדָֽה | 1 | And in year eighteen of king Jeroboam child of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah. | 3e | 4B | 17 9 | |
| שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ מַעֲכָ֖ה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם | 2 | Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Makah, the daughter of Abishalom. | 3e | 4B | 10 12 | |
| וַיֵּ֕לֶךְ בְּכָל־חַטֹּ֥אות אָבִ֖יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֣ה לְפָנָ֑יו וְלֹא־הָיָ֨ה לְבָב֤וֹ שָׁלֵם֙ עִם־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔יו כִּלְבַ֖ב דָּוִ֥ד אָבִֽיו | 3 | And he walked in all the sins of his father that he did in his presence. And his heart was not at peace with Yahweh his God as was the heart of David his father. | 3e | 4C | 17 20 | |
| כִּ֚י לְמַ֣עַן דָּוִ֔ד נָתַן֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהָ֥יו ל֛וֹ נִ֖יר בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְהָקִ֤ים אֶת־בְּנוֹ֙ אַחֲרָ֔יו וּֽלְהַעֲמִ֖יד אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם | 4 | C | But for the sake of David, Yahweh his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to give standing to Jerusalem. | 3d | 4C | 19 18 |
| אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֥ה דָוִ֛ד אֶת־הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־סָ֞ר מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֗הוּ כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו רַ֕ק בִּדְבַ֖ר אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי | 5 | For David did what is upright in the eyes of Yahweh, and was not stubborn about all that he commanded him all the days of his life, certainly in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. | 3d | 4C | 15 24 | |
| וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֧ה בֵין־רְחַבְעָ֛ם וּבֵ֥ין יָרָבְעָ֖ם כָּל־יְמֵ֥י חַיָּֽיו | 6 | And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. | 3c | 3g | 20 | |

And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. | 3d | 4C | 34 15 | |
| וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב אֲבִיָּם֙ עִם־אֲבֹתָ֔יו וַיִּקְבְּר֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ אָסָ֥א בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו | 8 | And Abijam was laid out with his ancestors and they entombed him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead. | 3d | 4C | 20 9 | |
| וּבִשְׁנַ֣ת עֶשְׂרִ֔ים לְיָרָבְעָ֖ם מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מָלַ֥ךְ אָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה | 9 | And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa reigned, king of Judah. | 3e | 4B | 14 9 | |
| וְאַרְבָּעִ֤ים וְאַחַת֙ שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ מַעֲכָ֖ה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם | 10 | And forty one years he reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Makah, the daughter of Abishalom. | 3e | 4C | 15 12 | |
| וַיַּ֧עַשׂ אָסָ֛א הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כְּדָוִ֖ד אָבִֽיו | 11 | And Asa did what is upright in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his father. | 3c | 4B | 13 5 | |
| וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר הַקְּדֵשִׁ֖ים מִן־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיָּ֙סַר֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַגִּלֻּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשׂ֖וּ אֲבֹתָֽיו | 12 | And he passed through the sanctuaries in the land, and he put aside all the figurines that his ancestors had made. | 3e | 4A | 11 16 | |
| וְגַ֣ם ׀ אֶת־מַעֲכָ֣ה אִמּ֗וֹ וַיְסִרֶ֙הָ֙ מִגְּבִירָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָ֥ה מִפְלֶ֖צֶת לָאֲשֵׁרָ֑ה וַיִּכְרֹ֤ת אָסָא֙ אֶת־מִפְלַצְתָּ֔הּ וַיִּשְׂרֹ֖ף בְּנַ֥חַל קִדְרֽוֹן | 13 | And moreover Makah his mother, he chastened her as queen-mother that she made a totem for her happiness. And Asa cut off her totem and incinerated in the wadi Kidron. | 3e | 4C | 26 17 | |
| וְהַבָּמ֖וֹת לֹא־סָ֑רוּ רַ֣ק לְבַב־אָסָ֗א הָיָ֥ה שָׁלֵ֛ם עִם־יְהוָ֖ה כָּל־יָמָֽיו | 14 | But the high places they did not put aside. But the heart of Asa was at peace with Yahweh all his days. | 3d | 4B | 6 15 | |
| וַיָּבֵא֙ אֶת־קָדְשֵׁ֣י אָבִ֔יו וְקָדְשֵׁ֖י בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה כֶּ֥סֶף וְזָהָ֖ב וְכֵלִֽים | 15 | And he introduced the holy things of his father and the holy things of the house of Yahweh, silver and gold and vessels. | 3e | 4B | 14 8 | |
| וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֜ה בֵּ֣ין אָסָ֗א וּבֵ֛ין בַּעְשָׁ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כָּל־יְמֵיהֶֽם | 16 | And there war was between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. | 3d | 4B | 22 | |
| וַיַּ֨עַל בַּעְשָׁ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַל־יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּ֖בֶן אֶת־הָרָמָ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת יֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה | 17 | And Baasha king of Israel went up to Judah and built Ramah, so as to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah. | 3e | 4C | 21 16 | |
| וַיִּקַּ֣ח אָ֠סָא אֶת־כָּל־הַכֶּ֨סֶף וְהַזָּהָ֜ב הַֽנּוֹתָרִ֣ים ׀ בְּאוֹצְר֣וֹת בֵּית־יְהוָ֗ה וְאֶת־אֽוֹצְרוֹת֙ בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֖ם בְּיַד־עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיִּשְׁלָחֵ֞ם הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֗א אֶל־בֶּן־הֲ֠דַד בֶּן־טַבְרִמֹּ֤ן בֶּן־חֶזְיוֹן֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם הַיֹּשֵׁ֥ב בְּדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק לֵאמֹֽר | 18 | And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was remaining in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the treasuries of the house of the king and he gave them into the hand of his servants. Then the king Asa sent them away to Benhadad child of Tabrimmon child of Hezion king of Aram who sat in Damascus, saying, | 3e | 4C | 40 33 | |
| בְּרִית֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ בֵּ֥ין אָבִ֖י וּבֵ֣ין אָבִ֑יךָ הִנֵּה֩ שָׁלַ֨חְתִּֽי לְךָ֥ שֹׁ֙חַד֙ כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֔ב לֵ֣ךְ הָפֵ֗רָה אֶת־בְּרִֽיתְךָ֙ אֶת־בַּעְשָׁ֣א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְיַעֲלֶ֖ה מֵעָלָֽי | 19 | A covenant between me and you, between my father and your father: behold I send to you bribes of silver and gold. Go annul your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he will go up away from me. | 3e | 4B | 16 37 | |
| וַיִּשְׁמַ֨ע בֶּן־הֲדַ֜ד אֶל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֗א וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח אֶת־שָׂרֵ֨י הַחֲיָלִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ֙ עַל־עָרֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּךְ֙ אֶת־עִיּ֣וֹן וְאֶת־דָּ֔ן וְאֵ֖ת אָבֵ֣ל בֵּֽית־מַעֲכָ֑ה וְאֵת֙ כָּל־כִּנְר֔וֹת עַ֖ל כָּל־אֶ֥רֶץ נַפְתָּלִֽי | 20 | And Benhadad heeded king Asa and he sent the chiefs of the forces that were his to the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon and Dan and Lament of the house of Makah, and all Kinneroth over all the land of Naphtali. | 3e | 4C | 47 12 | |
| וַֽיְהִי֙ כִּשְׁמֹ֣עַ בַּעְשָׁ֔א וַיֶּחְדַּ֕ל מִבְּנ֖וֹת אֶת־הָֽרָמָ֑ה וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב בְּתִרְצָֽה | 21 | And it happened as Baasha heard so he set aside the building of Ramah, and settled in Tirzah. | 3e | 4B | 16 6 | |
| וְהַמֶּ֨לֶךְ אָסָ֜א הִשְׁמִ֤יעַ אֶת־כָּל־יְהוּדָה֙ אֵ֣ין נָקִ֔י וַיִּשְׂא֞וּ אֶת־אַבְנֵ֤י הָֽרָמָה֙ וְאֶת־עֵצֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּעְשָׁ֑א וַיִּ֤בֶן בָּם֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֔א אֶת־גֶּ֥בַע בִּנְיָמִ֖ן וְאֶת־הַמִּצְפָּֽה | 22 | Then the king Asa had broadcast through all Judah (none was exempted) and they lifted up the stones of Ramah and its timber that Baasha had built with, and king Asa built with them the hillock of Benjamin and Mizpah. | 3e | 4C | 37 20 | |
| וְיֶ֣תֶר כָּל־דִּבְרֵֽי־אָ֠סָא וְכָל־גְּב֨וּרָת֜וֹ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֗ה וְהֶֽעָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּנָ֔ה הֲלֹֽא־הֵ֣מָּה כְתוּבִ֗ים עַל־סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה רַ֚ק לְעֵ֣ת זִקְנָת֔וֹ חָלָ֖ה אֶת־רַגְלָֽיו | 23 | And all the remaining words of Asa and all his valour and all that he undertook, the cities that he built, are they not written in the record of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age, he was twisted in his feet. | 3d | 4C | 47 11 | |
| וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב אָסָא֙ עִם־אֲבֹתָ֔יו וַיִּקָּבֵר֙ עִם־אֲבֹתָ֔יו בְּעִ֖יר דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑יו וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֥ט בְּנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו | 24 | And Asa was laid out with his ancestors and was entombed with his ancestors in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. | 3d | 4C | 23 11 | |
| וְנָדָ֣ב בֶּן־יָרָבְעָ֗ם מָלַךְ֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בִּשְׁנַ֣ת שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיִּמְלֹ֥ךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שְׁנָתָֽיִם | 25 | And Nadab child of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. | 3e | 4B | 25 11 | |
| וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֙לֶךְ֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אָבִ֔יו וּ֨בְחַטָּאת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | 26 | And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. And he walked in the way of his father and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin. | 3e | 4B | 10 21 | |
| וַיִּקְשֹׁ֨ר עָלָ֜יו בַּעְשָׁ֤א בֶן־אֲחִיָּה֙ לְבֵ֣ית יִשָּׂשכָ֔ר וַיַּכֵּ֣הוּ בַעְשָׁ֔א בְּגִבְּת֖וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וְנָדָב֙ וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל צָרִ֖ים עַֽל־גִּבְּתֽוֹן | 27 | And Baasha child of Achiyah of the house of Issachar colluded against him and Baasha struck Gibbethon (that was Philistine), while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. | 3e | 4C | 30 13 | |
| וַיְמִתֵ֣הוּ בַעְשָׁ֔א בִּשְׁנַ֣ת שָׁלֹ֔שׁ לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיִּמְלֹ֖ךְ תַּחְתָּֽיו | 28 | And Baasha had him die in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned in his stead. | 3e | 4B | 18 5 | |
| וַיְהִ֣י כְמָלְכ֗וֹ הִכָּה֙ אֶת־כָּל־בֵּ֣ית יָרָבְעָ֔ם לֹֽא־הִשְׁאִ֧יר כָּל־נְשָׁמָ֛ה לְיָרָבְעָ֖ם עַד־הִשְׁמִד֑וֹ כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֔ר בְּיַד־עַבְדּ֖וֹ אֲחִיָּ֥ה הַשִּׁילֹנִֽי | 29 | And it happened as he reigned, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave a residue of any breath-bearing to Jeroboam till he exterminated him, according to the word of Yahweh, who spoke by the hand of his servant Achiyah, the Shilonite, | 3c | 4B | 28 19 | |
| עַל־חַטֹּ֤אות יָרָבְעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָטָ֔א וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּכַעְס֕וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִכְעִ֔יס אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | 30 | over the sins of Jeroboam who did sin and who made Israel to sin, in his grievous behaviour with which he grieved Yahweh the God of Israel. | 3e | 4C | 21 16 | |

| וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֜ה בֵּ֣ין אָסָ֗א וּבֵ֛ין בַּעְשָׁ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כָּל־יְמֵיהֶֽם | 32 | And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days. | 3d | 4B | 22 | |

| וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֙לֶךְ֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָרָבְעָ֔ם וּ֨בְחַטָּאת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | 34 | And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin. | 3e | 4B | 10 22 |
Sanctus, Isaiah 6:3
What do these verses have in common?
Genesis 37:28, Genesis 38:21, Exodus 12:46, Exodus 13:19, Exodus 15:19, Exodus 17:7, Exodus 27:11, Exodus 33:19, Exodus 34:31, Leviticus 7:29, Leviticus 23:34, Leviticus 25:33, Numbers 11:29, Numbers 26:1, Deuteronomy 11:13, Deuteronomy 26:7, Deuteronomy 28:11, Deuteronomy 28:48, Joshua 19:29, Judges 8:27, Judges 9:18, Judges 16:28, 1 Samuel 3:11, 1 Samuel 6:6, 1 Samuel 6:7, 1 Samuel 7:9, 1 Samuel 12:18, 1 Samuel 23:26, 1 Samuel 24:10, 1 Samuel 26:10, 2 Samuel 14:4, 2 Samuel 19:8, 2 Samuel 23:10, 1 Kings 9:21, 2 Kings 7:17, Isaiah 6:3, Isaiah 56:3, Jeremiah 23:7, Jeremiah 25:15, Jeremiah 40:4, Jeremiah 42:4, Jeremiah 49:29, Jeremiah 50:4, Ezekiel 10:19, Ezekiel 41:16, Haggai 2:20, Ruth 1:8, Lamentations 1:17, Esther 2:14, Daniel 1:8, Daniel 2:23, Ezra 7:28, 2 Chronicles 9:2, 2 Chronicles 12:7, 2 Chronicles 17:5, 2 Chronicles 29:31
They share this musical pattern: high C with ornaments qadma, zaqen qatan, followed by an octave leap down to low c, like the octave leap down in the bass part in the Sanctus by Bach in his B minor mass.
Notice Isaiah 6:3, the origin of the Sanctus, among these. (For new readers, the fourth column is a syllable count for the Hebrew, before and after the atnach.)
I suppose it wouldn't surprise you that I am running too fast. My software is finding questions in my readings and I must answer them. The domain analysis is very trying at times. It governs my control of concordance and distinction of some homonyms. While the known unknowns are reducing, the unknown unknowns are increasing, and creeping up behind me. So occasionally I must retreat and pay attention to my rearguard algorithms.
This chapter is so familiar - yet also so strange. The imagery of kindling is obscured by the traditional translation. Have you used that tree for kindling. It is a natural fire-starter. A tessellation is like a piece of the pavement. Live coal is possible but strikes me as complete guesswork that is now taken as accurate. That's what happens in translation.

| שְׂרָפִ֨ים עֹמְדִ֤ים ׀ מִמַּ֙עַל֙ ל֔וֹ שֵׁ֧שׁ כְּנָפַ֛יִם שֵׁ֥שׁ כְּנָפַ֖יִם לְאֶחָ֑ד בִּשְׁתַּ֣יִם ׀ יְכַסֶּ֣ה פָנָ֗יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֛יִם יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָ֖יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֥יִם יְעוֹפֵֽף | 2 | Seraphim were standing above it. Six wings, six wings for each one. With two he covers his face and with two he covers his feet and with two he flies. | 3c | 4C | 20 21 | |
| וְקָרָ֨א זֶ֤ה אֶל־זֶה֙ וְאָמַ֔ר קָד֧וֹשׁ ׀ קָד֛וֹשׁ קָד֖וֹשׁ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מְלֹ֥א כָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ כְּבוֹדֽוֹ | 3 | And this one called to this one and said, Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts. Full is all the earth of his glory. | 3c | 4C | 20 9 | |
| וַיָּנֻ֙עוּ֙ אַמּ֣וֹת הַסִּפִּ֔ים מִקּ֖וֹל הַקּוֹרֵ֑א וְהַבַּ֖יִת יִמָּלֵ֥א עָשָֽׁן | 4 | And the cubits of the threshold tottered from the voice of the one calling, and the house was filled with smoke. | 3e | 4B | 14 9 | |
| וָאֹמַ֞ר אֽוֹי־לִ֣י כִֽי־נִדְמֵ֗יתִי כִּ֣י אִ֤ישׁ טְמֵֽא־שְׂפָתַ֙יִם֙ אָנֹ֔כִי וּבְתוֹךְ֙ עַם־טְמֵ֣א שְׂפָתַ֔יִם אָנֹכִ֖י יוֹשֵׁ֑ב כִּ֗י אֶת־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת רָא֥וּ עֵינָֽי | 5 | And I said, Woe is mine, for I am undone, for a person of unclean lips I am, and among a people of unclean lips I myself sit, for the king, Yahweh of hosts, my eyes have seen. | 3d | 4C | 33 14 | |
| וַיָּ֣עָף אֵלַ֗י אֶחָד֙ מִן־הַשְּׂרָפִ֔ים וּבְיָד֖וֹ רִצְפָּ֑ה בְּמֶ֨לְקַחַ֔יִם לָקַ֖ח מֵעַ֥ל הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ | 6 | And one from the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand a tessellation, in the tongs, he took from the altar. | 3e | 4B | 16 12 | |
| וַיַּגַּ֣ע עַל־פִּ֔י וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּ֛ה נָגַ֥ע זֶ֖ה עַל־שְׂפָתֶ֑יךָ וְסָ֣ר עֲוֺנֶ֔ךָ וְחַטָּאתְךָ֖ תְּכֻפָּֽר | 7 | And he touched on my mouth and he said, Behold this has touched on your lips, and your iniquity is put aside and your sin is covered over. | 3d | 4B | 18 13 | |
| וָאֶשְׁמַ֞ע אֶת־ק֤וֹל אֲדֹנָי֙ אֹמֵ֔ר אֶת־מִ֥י אֶשְׁלַ֖ח וּמִ֣י יֵֽלֶךְ־לָ֑נוּ וָאֹמַ֖ר הִנְנִ֥י שְׁלָחֵֽנִי | 8 | And I heard the voice of my Lord, saying, Whom will I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I. Send me. | 3e | 4C | 20 9 | |
| וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לֵ֥ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֙וֹעַ֙ וְאַל־תָּבִ֔ינוּ וּרְא֥וּ רָא֖וֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָֽעוּ | 9 | And he said. Go, and you will say to this people, You hear, to hear, and you have no discernment. And you see, to see, and you have no knowledge. | 3e | 4C | 12 19 | |
| הַשְׁמֵן֙ לֵב־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה וְאָזְנָ֥יו הַכְבֵּ֖ד וְעֵינָ֣יו הָשַׁ֑ע פֶּן־יִרְאֶ֨ה בְעֵינָ֜יו וּבְאָזְנָ֣יו יִשְׁמָ֗ע וּלְבָב֥וֹ יָבִ֛ין וָשָׁ֖ב וְרָ֥פָא לֽוֹ | 10 | Make dense the heart of this people and make its ear heavy and its eyes muddy, lest it see with its eyes and with its ears hear and its heart discern and turn and it be healed. | 3d | 4B | 17 22 | |
| וָאֹמַ֕ר עַד־מָתַ֖י אֲדֹנָ֑י וַיֹּ֡אמֶר עַ֣ד אֲשֶׁר֩ אִם־שָׁא֨וּ עָרִ֜ים מֵאֵ֣ין יוֹשֵׁ֗ב וּבָתִּים֙ מֵאֵ֣ין אָדָ֔ם וְהָאֲדָמָ֖ה תִּשָּׁאֶ֥ה שְׁמָמָֽה | 11 | And I said, How long, my Lord? And he said, Until that the noisy cities are without inhabitant, and houses without humanity, and the humus is noised as desolate, | 3e | 4B | 9 33 | |
| וְרִחַ֥ק יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־הָאָדָ֑ם וְרַבָּ֥ה הָעֲזוּבָ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ | 12 | and Yahweh has put far the human, and the frequent disavowal within the land. | 3e | 4A | 9 13 | |
| וְע֥וֹד בָּהּ֙ עֲשִׂ֣רִיָּ֔ה וְשָׁ֖בָה וְהָיְתָ֣ה לְבָעֵ֑ר כָּאֵלָ֣ה וְכָאַלּ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׁלֶּ֙כֶת֙ מַצֶּ֣בֶת בָּ֔ם זֶ֥רַע קֹ֖דֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּֽהּ | 13 | f | But yet in her is a tenth, and it will return, and she will be for kindling, as a turpentine tree and as an oak that in being cast down have a monument in them. The seed of the holy is from her monument. | 3e | 4C | 16 24 |

Isaiah 20
Another short chapter, but with an interesting last verse where I hope the music clarifies what the text seems to be saying. What do you think?
And here's my reading of Isaiah's sign - hope for his sake that he did this sign for short periods of time in the summer, and not for three years in one stretch.
... another day, another chapter
.
... another day, another chapter

| Isaiah 20 | Fn | Min | Max | Syll | ||
| בִּשְׁנַ֨ת בֹּ֤א תַרְתָּן֙ אַשְׁדּ֔וֹדָה בִּשְׁלֹ֣ח אֹת֔וֹ סַֽרְג֖וֹן מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּלָּ֥חֶם בְּאַשְׁדּ֖וֹד וַֽיִּלְכְּדָֽהּ | 1 | In the year the field marshall came to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Ashur sent him, and fought against Ashdod and conquered it, | 3e | 4C | 18 11 | |
| בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֗יא דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהוָה֮ בְּיַ֣ד יְשַׁעְיָ֣הוּ בֶן־אָמוֹץ֮ לֵאמֹר֒ לֵ֗ךְ וּפִתַּחְתָּ֤ הַשַּׂק֙ מֵעַ֣ל מָתְנֶ֔יךָ וְנַעַלְךָ֥ תַחֲלֹ֖ץ מֵעַ֣ל רַגְלֶ֑יךָ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ כֵּ֔ן הָלֹ֖ךְ עָר֥וֹם וְיָחֵֽף | 2 | At that time Yahweh spoke by the hand of Isaiah, child of Amoz, saying, Go and open the sackcloth from your waist, and rescue your shoe from your feet. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. | 3e | 4C | 43 11 | |
| וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלַ֛ךְ עַבְדִּ֥י יְשַׁעְיָ֖הוּ עָר֣וֹם וְיָחֵ֑ף שָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ א֣וֹת וּמוֹפֵ֔ת עַל־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְעַל־כּֽוּשׁ | 3 | And Yahweh said, As my servant Isaiah walks naked and barefoot, three years a sign and portent over Egypt and over Cush, | 3d | 4C | 21 14 | |
| כֵּ֣ן יִנְהַ֣ג מֶֽלֶךְ־אַ֠שּׁוּר אֶת־שְׁבִ֨י מִצְרַ֜יִם וְאֶת־גָּל֥וּת כּ֛וּשׁ נְעָרִ֥ים וּזְקֵנִ֖ים עָר֣וֹם וְיָחֵ֑ף וַחֲשׂוּפַ֥י שֵׁ֖ת עֶרְוַ֥ת מִצְרָֽיִם | 4 | B | So will the king of Ashur lead away captives of Egypt and exiles of Cush, youngsters and the aged, naked and barefoot, and fundamentals stripped, Egypt exposed. | 3d | 4B | 28 10 |
| וְחַתּ֖וּ וָבֹ֑שׁוּ מִכּוּשׁ֙ מַבָּטָ֔ם וּמִן־מִצְרַ֖יִם תִּפְאַרְתָּֽם | 5 | And they will be dismayed and ashamed, from Cush taking note of them and from their Egyptian adornment. | 3e | 4A | 6 12 | |
| וְ֠אָמַר יֹשֵׁ֨ב הָאִ֣י הַזֶּה֮ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַהוּא֒ הִנֵּה־כֹ֣ה מַבָּטֵ֗נוּ אֲשֶׁר־נַ֤סְנוּ שָׁם֙ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה לְהִ֨נָּצֵ֔ל מִפְּנֵ֖י מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֑וּר וְאֵ֖יךְ נִמָּלֵ֥ט אֲנָֽחְנוּ | 6 | ~ | And the inhabitant of this coast in that day will say, Behold, thus our notice that we make a haven there for help to be delivered from the presence of the king of Ashur? So how will we escape ourselves? | 3e | 4C | 38 8 |

Refugee Movie Night at Sir James Douglas School
Isaiah 4 - refuge - compared with Psalm 2
What constitutes a chapter? That's a question. We know what a verse is because of the music. It's not one or two or three sentences, it is a presence made one by a musical phrase. It may be a fragment of a sentence or it may be several. Poetry verses are shorter, but prose ones are typically longer. Both have pulse.
Let the spirit of kindling remind you of Psalm 2. It is only a hint of anger.
Where is your / our refuge?
| Isaiah 4 | Fn | Min | Max | ||
| וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ֩ שֶׁ֨בַע נָשִׁ֜ים בְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֗ד בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לַחְמֵ֣נוּ נֹאכֵ֔ל וְשִׂמְלָתֵ֖נוּ נִלְבָּ֑שׁ רַ֗ק יִקָּרֵ֤א שִׁמְךָ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ אֱסֹ֖ף חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ | 1 | And seven women will be resolved on one man in that day, saying, Our bread we will eat and with our shawl we will be clothed, but let your name be called over us to gather our reproach. | 3e | 4C | |
| בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִֽהְיֶה֙ צֶ֣מַח יְהוָ֔ה לִצְבִ֖י וּלְכָב֑וֹד וּפְרִ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְגָא֣וֹן וּלְתִפְאֶ֔רֶת לִפְלֵיטַ֖ת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | 2 | B | In that day the sprout of Yahweh will be for status and for glory, and the fruit of the earth for pride and for adornment for those who are secure of Israel. | 3e | 4C |
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ הַנִּשְׁאָ֣ר בְּצִיּ֗וֹן וְהַנּוֹתָר֙ בִּיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם קָד֖וֹשׁ יֵאָ֣מֶר ל֑וֹ כָּל־הַכָּת֥וּב לַחַיִּ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם | 3 | And it will be that the residue in Zion and the remaining in Jerusalem will be pronounced holy to him, all those written of the living in Jerusalem. | 3e | 4B | |
| אִ֣ם ׀ רָחַ֣ץ אֲדֹנָ֗י אֵ֚ת צֹאַ֣ת בְּנוֹת־צִיּ֔וֹן וְאֶת־דְּמֵ֥י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יָדִ֣יחַ מִקִּרְבָּ֑הּ בְּר֥וּחַ מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וּבְר֥וּחַ בָּעֵֽר | 4 | B | When my Lord washes the filth of the daughters of Zion and rinses the blood of Jerusalem from within her, by the spirit of judgment and in the spirit of kindling. | 3e | 4C |
| וּבָרָ֣א יְהוָ֡ה עַל֩ כָּל־מְכ֨וֹן הַר־צִיּ֜וֹן וְעַל־מִקְרָאֶ֗הָ עָנָ֤ן ׀ יוֹמָם֙ וְעָשָׁ֔ן וְנֹ֛גַהּ אֵ֥שׁ לֶהָבָ֖ה לָ֑יְלָה כִּ֥י עַל־כָּל־כָּב֖וֹד חֻפָּֽה | 5 | And Yahweh will create over every establishment of the hill of Zion and over her convocations a cloud by day and smoke and illumination of a flaming fire by night, for over all glory is a canopy. | 3d | 4C | |
| וְסֻכָּ֛ה תִּהְיֶ֥ה לְצֵל־יוֹמָ֖ם מֵחֹ֑רֶב וּלְמַחְסֶה֙ וּלְמִסְתּ֔וֹר מִזֶּ֖רֶם וּמִמָּטָֽר | 6 | And a booth will be for a shadow by day from the desert, and for a refuge and a hiding place from inundation and rain. | 3d | 4A |
Let the spirit of kindling remind you of Psalm 2. It is only a hint of anger.
