Bledsoe, Heinlein, Hebrew

Rich has mentioned that going to synagogue can raise your IQ.

I thought of that when I remembered that I could learn Arabic from a woman co-worker, because In Heinlein's 'Gulf' short story (1940s--he had barcodes!) he mentions that every language has 500 basic words. The super-genius organization attached a phoneme to each of these 500, and   spoke it with tones and pitch, etc. (Additional specialized words are needed for specialized fields.)

So we have Rich and synagogue, and Word-phoneme language.

Oddly Hebrew has words that match phonemes.

The first word of the Bible is B-R-SH-T, translated 'In the beginning". In word phonemes it's B (house) R (head) SH (fang, eat--JBJ) and T (cross).

This is a mini-liturgy, filled out be the rest of the Bible.  It's imperative, I claim. 

Be,Enter the (house), (bow your) head (in confession, and listen with your (head) to the readings and sermon, eat (body and blood, bread and wine) (and go out bearing your cross

I end with a command, and that I'll put this in Week One, about language.

Somebody, some one of you smart guys, students of the Word, expounders, commanders study this, improve our language so we can tell the appropriate parties, at the right time, and in the right way WHAT TO DO!

Love in King Jesus,

Commander Chuck 'somebody's gotta do it' Hartman
