“That’s what I’ve been saying for years!”
Damn! You beat me to it. I was going to post something like “it never made any sense to me either”.

Well, I admit it had me buffaloed................
I admit I was being a bit cheeky but I should have fleshed it out.
The tip-off was in some of those bum titles.
Inspired, I got to working on a further post. I’ll finish it eventually.
This warrants further investigation.
On The Origins of Language --
two children raised among goats, a goatherd, and an Egyptian king inquiring after the origin of mankind walk into a bar. The bartender Psammetichus asks...
Then it turns out it's no joke! All of that scholarship, yet the erudite Set hasn't learned to live a little. It's as if they are whistling past the graveyard.
It's like I've been saying -- Punish is the Holy Tongue; it's full of holes! There's even a verse for that:
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain (Rev 16:10)
Vile!
It gets much worse, because have you ever seen what hail can do to a garden? One year, the beautiful, lush leaves in my pumpkin patch were shot full of holes and left in shreds.
Well down in verse 21:
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
This is EZ to explain:
Psammetichus asks the goatherd to report the first word that the children utter, and when it turns out that this word is bekos, a Phrygian for โbreadโ...
... it means it's well past time to talk Hebrew transliteration, because over there, "bread" is written as
ืืจื
(Anyone can run that word in a search along with "bread" and find that "ืืจื" is used that way, such as in... bakery signage.)
Yet "ืืจื" is the word for hail. The good news for those who take the Good News Challenge is that it's also refreshing shaved ice -- aka a Snowcone outside the isles, being the original name for the command module Columbia. It was very good news upon her splashdown out there, in the body of water named for peace. (Hail Columbia!)

"Audaces Fortuna Juvat", so back to the plotline in the King's English, regarding the raining down of bread from heaven so to speak (it never ends!)...
Now the Egyptians, before the time when Psammetichos 1 became king over them...
...the very first appearance of hail in the OLD Testament was the 7th plague (brutal!):
Exodus 9:18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail [ืืจื], such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
And the very first appearance of hail in the NEW Testament is:
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. (Mat 26:48-49)
First a grievous hail-hail, then another first of grievous hail, the hail of betrayal. Yet what was that hail, but a simple kindly -- albeit disingenuous -- happy greeting:
"ฮงฮฑแฟฯฮต แฟฅฮฑฮฒฮฒแฝท!"
Google Translate converts that to Hebrew as "!ืฉืืื ืื, ืจืื", "Shalom to you, Rabbi!"
And over at the "Sar Shalom" NT translation, the hail is also shalom, which is to say, peace:
ืึผืึดืึผึธื ื ึดืึผึทืฉื ืึถืึพืึตืฉืืึผืขึท ืึทืึผืืืึถืจ *ืฉืึธืืึนื* ืึฐืึธ ืจึทืึผึดื ืึทืึฐื ึทืฉืึถืงึพืืึนื
And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. (Mat 26:49)
To focus in on that part:
And he said, "Shalom to you, Rabbi!":
ืืืืืจ ืฉืืื ืื ืจืื, which adds up to 895.
It's definitely worth commenting on that sum because it really jumped out. 895 is the most repeated verse total in all the Torah/Tanakh.
70x in the Torah as:
ืืืืืจ ืืืื ืื ืืฉื ืืืืจ
("And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying", which is actually in the English 72x)
895 is a verse sum 1x with the subject swap (Num 27:15):
"And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,"
Yeah but whoever even reads that far? Yet it goes on and on, just on the sum of "Shalom to you, Rabbi!" alone.
On The Origins of Language --
The lower worlds (the Dark Side) can't even muster a genuine, honest-to-goodness "Hi", much less a song to sing:
"Well Hello there.."

He described them as effeminate, and as eating in private but defecating in public.
So not a lot different than now...old habits die hard...

[I’ve never been but the videos I’ve seen describe a dirty chaotic and dangerous place...Not sure I need that, tbh]
