“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses, and he said, Here I am.”
—The Bible, Exodus 3: 2-3; quoted by Thorkild Jacobsen in The Treasures of Darkness: A History of Mesopotamian Religion, 1976.
Now where was it (?) that I was reading
that in Mesopotamia or is it (merely) Islam , they
say NOT “in the beginning was the Word” as in Judaic writing, but RATHER “in the beginning was the pen .. the reed penpoint.” the character maker. the type creator. (?)
In the beginning there was a cave wall.
The bible said it, I believe it, and that settles it.
