Wordle for the Song of the Sea
Here is this week's Wordle, this one for the famous Song of the Sea found in Exodus 15. Click on it to enlarge. Note that God's name appears largest, because, in this song, the real drama of the Exodus is that of the battle between supernatural powers, between God (= Order) and the forces of Chaos as symbolized by the Sea (Yamm). Pharaoh and Moses play bit parts in this celestial battle. To read more about Wordles, see http://www.wordle.net/ - and make one of your own! (send me what you've got, English or Hebrew, and I'll post it)
