Amen to sermon Proverbs 31

  

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!
