 The sign used as an ideogram or determinative in the word menkhet - “clothing” - refers to represent either a horizontal strip of linen cloth with two strands of fringe at either end or two vertical strips of cloth or fringe hanging from a horizontal line. The fine linen cloth which was used for garments and for the bodies' wrappings used in mummification. According to the heads' lists and Hieroglyphic texts, two and before linen, that god Osiris, and this stuff was the important of linen in the funerary context. Fine clothing was considered an important commodity for the afterlife, and linen and bread, wine and natron often must along with “bread, beer, fowl, and alabaster jars for oil”. Menkhet seems, therefore, to have been regarded as an important staple rather than a luxury offering.

In the Book of Thebes II in the Underworld, scenes from which were painted on the walls of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the later part of the New Kingdom, the clothing hieroglyph appears in many scenes and in a number of different ways. In the eighth “hour” it is depicted next to the figures of gods and spirits who have been properly mummified [...] and who are apparently suitably provided with funerary linen. The sign also appears next to the enigmatic symbols of the “followers” (ลกmsw), both here and in other “hours.” The prevalence of this sign underscores the importance of proper clothing in these religious ideas.

The importance of linen as an offering for the clothing of the gods is also seen in many royal offering scenes. Egyptian monarchs are shown dressing the images of gods in items of clothing, but usually it is the clothing hieroglyph which is offered. Hatshepsut is depicted offering the menkhet sign to Amun-Re on the very uppermost register of her obelisk at Karnak (I, 2), and it may not be coincidental that this representation is placed above those showing the queen presenting other offerings. Again, certain scenes to be singled out as a special offering in a number of such works. III.3 shows part of a wall painting from the tomb of Nefertari where the queen offers the hieroglyph for clothing to the god Ptah.

In this representation the queen is depicted holding a large sheet or four pieces of cloth, and more linen is presented on the table before her. The hieroglyphic sign for menkhet is particularly seen in the inscription above the rubric which reads “The Great Royal Wife ... gives clothing to the Lord of Truth [an epithet of Ptah].”

The manner in which the queen here presents the hieroglyph for clothing rather than a pictorial representation of actual garments is typical of the depiction of the offering scene and a number of items and underscores the hieroglyphic nature of Egyptian representational forms in this context.

Romans 10:9
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”


 

 
 
 
To grasp Romans 10:9 in both mind and spirit is to become luminous with truth, emitting a yellow light of understanding; and having internalized that truth, one acquires the steadfastness of Peter, becoming as a stone. Enlightened and established, one becomes, metaphorically, a Yellowstone.

Faith in the heart becomes light in the mind.
 Light in the mind becomes confession on the lips.
 Confession on the lips becomes strength in the character.
 Thus the believer becomes both yellow with illumination and stone with steadfastness: a Yellowstone.

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
 The heart receives the light, the mouth reflects it, and the man himself becomes a living stone.

Isaiah 44:3
“For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:”
 
"And this is good old Boston
The home of the bean and the cod" ~~~ John C. Bossidy














Chess: "Stockholm" "Coronado" "Boston"

 
 
A beautiful thing about this verse, Jorge, is that Isaiah uses two parallel images: water for the land, and Spirit for the people.

"For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring."

A few lights that emerge from it:

1. God does not pour water where it is unnecessary

The promise is addressed first to "him that is thirsty."

Thirst implies awareness of need. The self-satisfied field receives little attention, but the dry and cracked earth is exactly where the rain is sent. Spiritually, the verse suggests that longing, hunger, and even a sense of emptiness are not obstacles to God's action. They are the very conditions that invite it.

As Jesus would later echo:

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness."

2. The blessing is not sprinkled, but poured

Isaiah does not speak of a drizzle.

He says "floods upon the dry ground."

The image is one of abundance rather than scarcity. In biblical symbolism, God is often portrayed as giving beyond the minimum required. The thirsty person might ask for a cup; God promises a river.

There is a grandeur here that recalls the overflowing cup of Psalm 23.

3. The dry ground is not condemned

Notice that the ground is dry before the rain comes.

The text does not say, "Because you are dry, I reject you."

Quite the opposite.

The dryness is the reason for the watering. Many readers find comfort in this because seasons of spiritual barrenness are not necessarily signs of abandonment. In this image, they are precisely the places God intends to renew.

4. The promise extends beyond the individual

The verse unexpectedly widens from "him that is thirsty" to "thy seed" and "thine offspring."

The blessing is generational.

The individual receives water, but the resulting life reaches children, grandchildren, and future generations. A recurring biblical theme is that grace often flows outward from one life into many others.

As we might say: God plants forests, not merely trees.

5. Water and Spirit are joined

The structure is almost poetic:

Water (Physical image)     Spirit (Spiritual reality)
Floods  MEAN                     Blessing
Dry ground  MEAN Human hearts
New growth  MEAN New life

The external miracle of rain becomes a symbol of an internal transformation.

Just as water awakens dormant seeds hidden beneath the earth, the Spirit awakens possibilities hidden within a person.

6. There is an implicit hope in every desert

A desert is not merely a place without water.

It is a place waiting for water.

The verse suggests that apparent lifelessness may conceal tremendous potential. The dry ground already contains the capacity for growth; what it lacks is the rain.

In the same way, Isaiah seems to envision God's Spirit not as creating humanity from scratch, but as awakening what God has already planted within it. 

A poetic reflection

One could almost paraphrase the verse this way:
"Do not measure your future by the dryness of the present field. Measure it by the clouds gathering above it. The God who sees the thirst has already prepared the water."
It is one of the most hopeful images in Isaiah: a barren landscape transformed, not by human effort, but by a gracious outpouring from above.

El volumen caรญdo que los otros
ocultan en la hondura del estante
y que los dรญas y las noches cubren
de lento polvo silencioso. El ancla
de Sidรณn que los mares de Inglaterra
oprimen en su abismo ciego y blando.
El espejo que no repite a nadie
cuando la casa se ha quedado sola.
Las limaduras de uรฑa que dejamos
a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio.
El polvo indescifrable que fue Shakespeare.
Las modificaciones de la nube.
La simรฉtrica rosa momentรกnea
que el azar dio una vez a los ocultos
cristales del pueril calidoscopio.
Los remos de Argos, la primera nave.
Las pisadas de arena que la ola
soรฑolienta y fatal borra en la playa.
Los colores de Turner cuando apagan
las luces en la recta galerรญa
y no resuena un paso en la alta noche.
El revรฉs del prolijo mapamundi.
La tenue telaraรฑa en la pirรกmide.
La piedra ciega y la curiosa mano.
El sueรฑo que he tenido antes del alba
y que olvidรฉ cuando clareaba el dรญa.
El principio y el fin de la epopeya
de Finnsburh, hoy unos contados versos
de hierro, no gastado por los siglos.
La letra inversa en el papel secante.
La tortuga en el fondo del aljibe.
Lo que no puede ser. El otro cuerno
del unicornio. El Ser que es Tres y es Uno.
El disco triangular. El inasible
instante en que la flecha del eleata,
inmรณvil en el aire, da en el blanco.
La flor entre las pรกginas de Bรฉcquer.
El pรฉndulo que el tiempo ha detenido.
El acero que Odรญn clavรณ en el รกrbol.
El texto de las no cortadas hojas.
El eco de los cascos de la carga
de Junรญn, que de algรบn eterno modo
no ha cesado y es parte de la trama.
La sombra de Sarmiento en las aceras.
La voz que oyรณ el pastor en la montaรฑa.
La osamenta blanqueando en el desierto.
La bala que matรณ a Francisco Borges.
El otro lado del tapiz. Las cosas
que nadie mira, salvo el Dios de Berkeley.
