Bible Note: Dear ebrain: Thanks for responding. Indeed there is sagacity in Psalm 118:8 regardless of the method one uses to arrive at it! ..... You may be acquainted with the numerological tale of Shakespeare and Psalm 46. The Authorized Version was printed the same year that William Shakespeare turned 46. If one counts down from the beginning of Psalm 46, the 46th word is "shake." If he counts up from the end of the Psalm, the 46th word is "spear." Is the connection with the Bard merely coincidental or did the translators, or even the Bard himself, have a hand in it? ..... I've followed your posts with interest and take this opportunity to bid you a belated welcome to this Forum. I note that hail from the UK. So did my great-grandfather who came to America from Birmingham, England and settled in Birmingham, Alabama. --Hank |
