This is an ‘amen’. It takes the essence and applies it.
Be sober-minded. Also, be sober-minded to ‘wild ones’. An
example is the Presidential candidate from Pella. He was also Chairman of the
Philosophy Department at USC. In his autobiography, he states that he couldn’t
get his questions answered when growing up.
Let’s sober-mindedly use the wild idea of singing Proverbs
31 (wife) Biblically.
1—In Hebrew, it’s an abecedary. Each verse starts with a word that starts
with a Hebrew letter, alphabetically. See Psalm 25 in New Jerusalem Bible for
an example. Write an abecedary for Proberbs 31.
2—Use Hebrew Cadence. Pioneered by Casuto for (spelling) the
Vatican. He was a Jew, expert in ancient documents for them. Hebrew Cadence counts
the number of times a word/concept is used in a passage. Jordan and Cascione
use this wisely. Emhasize these by instruments (cymbals as Ps. 150?) or voices.
3—Bullinger (Companion Bible) surely has some chiasms (abcba…)
that can be used as guides for notes. Write tunes that use these notes.
THUS, we use Biblical forms to glorify the speech by
singing. I, CHH, maintain that ascension/descending of notes is used at the end
of Psalm chants to glorify. It’s possible that the theodicy of The Twelve
(minor prophets) is also shown by a 4-note beginning, non-chronological, and by
the last 8 being in chronological order.
BUT, I rely on the more sober-minded to use the above for glorification and
building (edification). BUT I’ve maintained that the imperativities (my brother
Greg’s book ‘New Testament Imperativity’) in the ‘New Testament’ are building
instructions for us, as a tabernacle of people, o Aholiabs and Bezeleels!
