Ezechiel

In the NYT article I sent you, there is the following
passage:

"It's true that the story of Sodom is treated by both modern
scholars and by ancient Ezekiel as about hospitality,
rather than homosexuality. In Sodom, Lot puts up two male
strangers for the night. When a lustful mob demands they be
handed over, Lot offers his two virgin daughters instead.
After some further unpleasantness, God destroys Sodom."

I got curious about Ezechiel; in chapter 16 of Ezechiel,
Ezechiel is accusing his fellow Jews of having fallen away,
and of playing a harlot with nearby countries and religions
(at this time, they are weak, and are basically paying
tribute to Egypt, Babylonia and/or Assyria in order to avoid
being taken over).

With Jerusalem as a harlot, there is a discussion of Sodom
as her "sister" city:

16:49 " 'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and
her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they
did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and
did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with
them as you have seen.

Mike: We've all been there, done that. But, are you aware that you can
cancel a usenet posting? It won't stop it from getting all over the place in
the short time it's out there, but does keep it from continuing to download
(once it's no longer cached all over the place).

Ezechiel Frames : it's a Latin company, apparently, that, I believe
specializes in Frames for the Prologue (TT): (and I quote

"Incipit prologus in ezechiel prophetae, Ezechiel propheta cum ... some
gold, orange and green, and enclosed...narrow gold frame...carbonatum..."

Things about Ezekiel

I wonder how many people pronounce it rather as Es-ee-key-al

and how many rather like Es-ek-aye-al

Yes that's what my dealer chanted when he sold it to me. The stole looked
rather weird with the shop apron.
