It seems that there are a few people on board who like to do exegesis for fun.

Let’s play.

This thread is dedicated to random exegetical insights, intuitions, hypotheses, favorites, or whatever. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar to post. You just have to be captivated and inspired by something biblical.

I’ll kick it off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isa. 55:10–11 is a familiar passage:

For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth…so shall my word be…etc.

The whole first line is full of the Hebrew letter shin:

For as (asher) the rain (geshem) and snow (sheleg) come down from heaven (shamaim), and do not return (shoov) there (shamah)…

and when you read it out loud, it sounds like a rain shower…

shhh…shhh…shhh…shhh…shhh…shhh…

Soakin’ it up,
Electra
