We finally finished Lamentations Chapter 2 today

We finished Lamentations Chapter 1 today!

Wow, it’s been a minute! Today we started Lamentations and read through Chapter 1 verse 19. We also decided that next we will read Jonah when finished with Lamentations.

We read Psalm 19 today.

We read Psalm 15 today.

We sprinted through 2 Psalms today, 13 and 14.

We finished Psalm 12 today.

We finished Psalm 11.

We read Psalm 7. What an interesting journey today. First the word shiggaion. Commentators aren’t sure. The conclusion is that at least it should be read with strong emotion.

Secondly that Benjaminite Cush. Apparently no record of this guy. Perhaps the sage who put this in the hymnal knew something lost to history?

Thirdly we found our editions in disagreement about who “he” is. Particularly around verses 11-14ish some substitutes God for he, some capitalized “He” to indicate God. It is clear that the Hebrew is “he” and there are no capitals in Hebrew so the editors were clearly making their best, although different, judgements.

All in all an interesting romp this week.

Psalm 6 today.
