Psalms and Wisdom

I failed to keep up with a journal because last week I again became a student and still had to keep up with the rest of my life.

The subject....Psalms and Wisdom. The class opened up so many new ideas about the purpose behind these beautiful writings in the Bible. After having studied Hebrew last semester, the depth of meaning took on a whole new dimension.

For example, in Hebrew there is no separation between the being and the soul of that being. This division of body and soul came from the Greeks. So when the Psalmist says soul, he means the whole being and the bit we call soul.

Interesting, huh. Will pass on more tidbits as I process all that I have learned.
