[QUOTE]Originally posted by Afronut Slayer: [QB] They say "Ignorance is bliss," but I believe that does not hold true all the time. If I say, [b]"Her lips are like red apples"[/b] what is being compared? Is her lips described as being made of apples or are they described by the color of red apples? Do you see the logic in writing? It is this writing technique that is used by ancient hebrew writers. There is actual precedence in hebraec scripture that illustrates this writing technique. Here is Daniel's acct. of the ancient of days: Dan 7:9 ¶ I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire. Now only the ignorant would say hair is being described as the texture of wool, because the ignorant IGNORES the structure of the entire passage. Prior to describing the hair of the ancient of days, his garment is described. Take a look: [...][b] whose garment was white as snow[/b]... Of course the ignorant does not realize the same rule he applies to interpreting the description of the hair, has to be applied to the description of the garment. Why? to retain consistency in verse syntax. The ignorant's rule would render the passage as saying that the ancient of days' garment is made of the substance of snow. Do you see how ignorant the ignorant sounds in his exegesis? Obviously the writer is not saying the garment is made of snow. The writer is comparing the color of the garment to that of snow (white). It is this rule or syntax that must be applied THROUGHOUT the passage to maintain a consistent logic in the entire passage. The writer uses a technique of describing color by making a comparison between the object of description and an object known for a perculiar trait. Thusly, we have the substance snow that is known for its whiteness, which is used to describe the whiteness of the garment. In addition, we have the substance wool that is also known for its whiteness (purity), which is used to describe the purity or whiteness of the hair. [/QB][/QUOTE]
