dreamer_easyWhat with all the work and doctors I haven't had a chance to get back to the action-packed tale of Genesis, starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom and a cast of thousands, and Jerry Mathers as the serpent*. But anyway, let's get back to Genesis 16. (btw, if you want the main page of the ETC's Bibles, go here. The link to "Table of Contents" just brings you back here.)
As always, here are my scribbled notes to myself. The more I read, the more I realise the plummeting depths of my ignorance, the more fascinated I become.
- Oh look, the handmaid's tale. (Given the stuff I was talking about earlier, Hagar's is probably not an isolated example.) It's a ripping story, though, a bit Dick Whittington.
- A baby names page translates Ishmael as "God that hears". (I think "El" is more accurately translated as "Lord", though.)
More in the next exciting episode!
* Rupert Booth as the serpent. "Well, hellooooo."
