my apologies


not enough coffee yet.


the many different authors, and compiled works from different times, makes the original legend almost impossible to interpret without beng specific about a certain time periods and the belief of Israelites changed between compilations of this Sumerian legend

At the very least, this is a serious blow to the theory of an omniscient god. I'll re-use that quote.
(I mean, what kind of omniscient entity needs to experiment to get its facts straight?)

Sheshbazzar

Ah. the Ark again.
It is a imaginary imaged container. A plan, a pattern, a description of an unseen and non-existent mathematical/geometrical construct set into cyphers for the exercising of individual intellect and associative abilities.

Who here will declare the length, the breadth, and the height of the Ark, by length of the kenah - the 'measuring reed'?
Who will declare the measures of the Ark in the sub-units of the 'cubit', that is according to the number of yad - 'hand-breadth's'? or of the zereth -'spans', or according to the atzebaoth, -the 'finger-breadths'?
Who among you will declare the number of atzebaoth -'finger breadths' in a the ammah -'the cubit', according to the common cubit? and the cubit of The Sanctuary?
How many 'finger-breadhts' are in your measuring reed(s)? And WHY this number if you might venture to number a number, and not another?

The plummet and the measuring line are for the revealing of the upright, and of such as is straight, and built perfectly foursquare to endure into eternity.
The Bible employs a lot of figurative and symbolic imagery.
Shallow men will only think their shallow thoughts, and never plumb the depths, discern the length, nor fathom these mysteries although they be hidden in plain sight.
There exists a different set of paradigms, which have been from the beginning, and will be in place, immovable and inviolable, into the everlasting.
They that know these things, and build upon and with them will never fear, nor be moved.
