Qumran Caves versus the Academy,
Character by Character
“Greek scribes could be inaccurate, unlike the meticulous transcribers of Hebrew scripture whose work was judged, character by character, by God himself.”
~ Michael Schmidt, The First Poets
The character of Greek and Hebrew ways
Has always been the same. The Hebrews love
Their God and Scriptures most of all. The stays
Of Greek perspectives are free minds above
……….
All else, which means the love of men. If God
Is given dominance, wan freedom thrives.
In such a cosmos, liberty is odd
Because the universe exists like hives
That know no God except control,
That know the rigid rules alone. In Greek
Imaginations we are like a scroll
That we can write and make each book unique.
..Philosophers who love to disagree
….Are livelier than laws by salt’s Dead Sea.
