- Once again, from Parsons' Quick Verse:
-
- Gen 49:10 . shebet . . cuwr . yehuwdah . . chaqaq . beyn . regel
- 'ad kiy shiyloh bow' . . . . . yiqqahah . . 'am .

- Contrary to my previous post, the dots represent "extra" English
- words in the King James Version. The above should be the full text.
-
- Putting the first letters together (as best I can with zero knowledge
- of Hebrew), I get:
-
- sh-c-y-ch-b-r-'a-k-sh-b-y-'a
-
- At least one Hebrew term for "shepherd" is "ra'ah tso'n" (tend-flock).
-
- Perhaps there is some highly creative way of adding and subtracting
- vowels to produce the "hidden message." If so, your next mission is to
- find the passage from "The Book of Armaments" describing the
- "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" embedded in Deuteronomy. Should
- you fail, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions...

- The Book of Armaments Chapter One, verses nine through twenty-seven:
-
- And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high
- saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it
- smash our enemies to tiny bits."
- And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the
- lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and
- lima bean-
-
- [Skip a bit, brother.]
-
- And then the Lord spake, saying:
- "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin.
- Then shalt thou count to three.
- No more, no less.
- *Three* shall be the number of the counting, and the number
- of the counting shall be three.
- *Four* shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two,
- excepting that thou then goest on to three.
- Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third
- number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
- to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff
- it.
-
- Amen.
