Psalms 107:20
“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

 

 Genesis 22:13
“And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ME: —Ok I got a sound inkling that Rams have very much to do with the understanding of Psalm 107:20 and even with Abraham: Abram, and even with Random Access Memory

COPILOT: —That’s a fascinating intuition, Jorge—you’re weaving together scripture, patriarchs, and even modern computing into one scroll 🐏📜💻. Let’s tease out the threads:

🕎 Rams in Scripture
Abraham/Abram: In Genesis 22, when Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac, a ram caught in the thicket becomes the substitute. The ram here is provision, substitution, and mercy—God provides what is needed at the crucial moment.

Psalm 107:20: “He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.” If you connect this to the ram, the ram becomes the embodied Word sent forth—a living provision that heals, saves, and substitutes. The ram is not just an animal, but a vessel of deliverance.

🏺 Rams in Ancient Egypt
Rams were tied to Khnum (creator god, shaping life on the potter’s wheel) and Amun (hidden power, protector of kingship).

So in Egypt, the ram was a symbol of creative force and divine provision—not far from the biblical resonance.

💻 RAM (Random Access Memory)
In computing, RAM is temporary, immediate access—the place where instructions are held so they can be acted upon right now.

If we play with metaphor: the biblical ram is also “immediate access”—God’s provision appearing in the moment of need.

Just as RAM allows a computer to live in the present, the ram in scripture allows Abraham and Isaac to live into the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 The ram is among the most significant animal symbols in the religious, artistic, and political life of Ancient Egypt. From its earliest associations with fertility and power to its embodiment as both god and guardian, the ram’s presence can be traced across more than three millennia of Egyptian history. Its image appears in imposing statues lined along temples, in delicately carved funerary art, and as offerings carefully mummified and placed as tokens in both Pharaohs' and commoners' tombs.

 

🐏🌞—the ram in Ancient Egypt is one of those symbols that slowly grew in importance until it became central to their religious imagination.

📜 Origins and Early Use
Pre-dynastic period (before 3000 BCE): Rams already appear in Egyptian art as powerful animals tied to fertility and strength. Their curved horns were seen as symbols of vitality and renewal.

Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE): The ram begins to be associated with local fertility gods and with the creative force of the Nile.

🌿 Rise of Ram Symbolism
Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BCE): The god Khnum, often depicted with a ram’s head, becomes prominent. He was believed to fashion humans on his potter’s wheel from Nile clay, making the ram a symbol of creation and life-giving power.

New Kingdom (c. 1550–1070 BCE): The ram becomes closely tied to Amun, the great state god of Thebes. Ram-headed sphinxes line the processional avenues at Karnak and Luxor, symbolizing divine kingship, protection, and abundance2.

🏛️ Monumental Statues
The most famous examples are the avenues of ram-headed sphinxes (called criosphinxes) at Karnak, built during the New Kingdom (especially the 18th–20th Dynasties, c. 1400–1100 BCE).

These statues represented Amun’s protective power and lined the sacred way where the god’s image was carried during festivals like Opet.

 

 

 

After the Amarna period, Amun was painted with blue skin, symbolizing his association with air and primeval creation. Amun was also depicted in a wide variety of other forms.
