Bible Question: I know that these verses are very obscure, but does anyone know of any parallel passages either in the Bible or (horror of horrors) in ancient myth or tradition (obviously near the same place and time period as Solomon) which might give light on their meaning? And is there any other scripture which backs up the AMP's interpretation of these objects? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Ecclesiastes 12:1-7............... This whole section is poetry ... in verse 6 ... the silver cord may be the spinal cord or marrow the golden bowl may be the bowl that holds the brain the pitcher may be the lungs the wheel may be the the heart or whole circulatory system ... it is all about life and we need to remember our Creator, before we die Searcher |
