Sunday Scrabble
Mom and I were playing Scrabble this afternoon, and Dad walked into the room. He, somewhat jokingly, inquired if it was a Bible game. I assured him that it was, and then Mom and I went on to prove that every word we'd used had some obscure Biblical referent. Here are a few of the words:
Strained--Relations were strained between Moses and Pharaoh. (BTW, this was my word, and notice that it's an eight letter word. I managed to place all seven of my letters around an "i," thereby scoring a BINGO!)
Flutes--According to Psalm 150, David was a major fan of flutes, along with other instruments.
Coo--Baby Moses cooed a bit too loudly, so his Mom dumped him on the river in a basket.
Sold--Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt
Raw--The Israelites weren't allowed to eat raw meat.
Tap--Uzzah died because he tapped the ark.
Yet--The Already and the Not Yet. (OK, so that's more of a general theological referent, but still.)
Tails--It's safe to assume that all of Jacob's speckled sheep must've had tails.
Gape--David gaped at Bathsheeba (Sadly, I can't take credit for this one--Mom thought of it first.)
Well, we haven't finished the Scrabble game yet, so I can't announce a winner (although, I'm currently winning). Anyway, Bible Scrabble is fun! Y'all should try it sometime. :) |
