Oh man, I was sure the answer was Read it in Hebrew, like G-d spoke it.
I love how modern Hebrew effortlessly keeps up.
For example, so many English words become Hebrew by way of transliteration. And then sure enough, secrets of the ages are solved just like that.
Like the mystery surrounding the prophet Habakkuk - the meaning of his name, and the tradition of his being the boy whom Elisha brought back to life because of this part of 2 Kings 4:16:
And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace [chobeket] a son...
Elisha told her that at the time of life [כעת חיה], she'd had her very own son to hug. And see, here's a HUG just for U:
חיבוק
It's a "chai" book.
Makes simple sense. A hug is what one person gives to another for comfort and love. By its very definition a hug involves two or more who are next to (neighbor) each other. Open arms reach around and enclose someone else ("U" -- יו --, the special holy name that was never meant to be just a number), like the covers of a book on each side of its spine. The same concept follows with angels' and birds' wings.
And there U have it:
Habakkuk and a smile.
Koach [*כוח] adds life.
*kaf and chet, see "at the time of life". It's literal.
The Book of Life: Read it in Hebrew, like G-d spoke it.
You ever heard the song by The Searchers, Love Potion No. 9? Same location as this hug. It's spelled out right in the words. All very plain and simple with its map intel, but who's really listening?
Gen 49
1.And Jacob called to his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days
2. Gather yourselves together, and hear, you sons of Jacob; and listen to Israel your father:

Remember Madame "Rue". She was the gypsy with the gold-capped (crowned) TWO, because it is important to rhyme:
👑
ב
(On 34th and Vine.)
Good thing Madame "Rue" is French!
APATHY + the missing letter W* = PATHWAY
* See keyboard: W in English is the apostrophe in Hebrew, used also for a geresh. Either way, it's used to represent a missing letter, contractions, acronyms..
And בוק is a "cue".
Gotta hand it to Englisha the Prophet. He knew all the hidden angles. ;)
I gotta run. Gotta hug some chickens...
To continue on in the Book of Life, "How to Literally Read Scripture Literally",
if anybody needed help to turn from his self-serving ways, it was that odious Dathan character. Not exactly a ladies' man, so instead of learning how to hug and love and be a trustworthy person filled with integrity, he resorted to slimy, dispicable tactics in order to "win" a beautiful woman of valor. Fake.
You remember Dathan... in The Ten Commandment's movie (1956), he was The Searcher tasked with identifying the Deliverer. And when he found out who it was, Dathan wanted his palms greased.
It's just what the Searcher said to the gypsy:
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic $ign
She said, "What you need is Love Potion No. 9"
It smelled like turpentine, so it functioned as a powerful degreaser cleaner as well.

Joseph was hated for his dreams. A long while back I discovered from an Ulpan site that to say "Dream On" (seriously, get real) in Hebrew is literally you're "living in a movie."
There's always a song. Literally. Buck Owens' signature song:
Act Naturally:
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm a-gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can't never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well...

In case anyone wonders why when God made Abram an offer to go "unto a land that I will show you",
Abram flew right out the door to see all the stars. The place deceptively called "UR" was a black hole of darkness.. Everyone was pinned down by business as usual, who could ever escape?

With a turn of my bit carousel, I’ve cleared the two pebbles that likely blocked me from processing my latest sample tube. Two smaller ones remain lower down, but may not be an issue (and might fall out just by driving). Onward!
