Numbers
10.1 The Silver Trumpets
10.11 The Israelites Leave Sinai
Psalms
Psalm 46
46.1 “Alamoth”? Is that the Hebrew for “Dam Busters March”?
46.2 This is an extreme image of the collapse of Creation. See Matthew 24, Revelation 6.12-17 etc.
Psalm 47
47.1 Is “a psalm” different from “a song” (Psalm 46.1)?
Song of Songs
8.1 Presumably they despise her for showing public affection?
8.3 They liked this position! See 2.6 and comment.
8.6 This popular wedding reading can be interpreted sensually, or more formally as describing the power of love, or more spiritually of the Lord, as in the song “My first love,” SoF 930.
Hebrews
8.1 The High Priest of a New Covenant
8.1 Do I ever stray from the point by an interesting digression, and need to remind myself to get back to it? Nice one!
8.7 For me, this is the biggest argument of all for why the Law does not suffice: why would the Father allow the Son to suffer so, if there had been no need? Also, the quote from Jeremiah 31.31-34 is clear as a bell and spot on the point!
8.13 “Soon” here is in the sense of “Jesus will come again soon.”
