A Reader's Take on Psalm 58:4

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, Psalm 58:4


Kevin Sheridan who is starting a Bi-lingual Spanish/English Independant Baptist Church in Oklahoma sent me a gem. One of the great proofs that the King James Bible is the word of God is its scientific accuracy.


From Kevin:


Interesting proof of the precise nature of the King James Bible


Psalms 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear


Scientists to this day will tell you they don’t know much about the hearing capabilities of snakes.


However, Psalms 58:4 has said now for 3,500 years that the adder is deaf but has an ear.


Why is it deaf and still has an ear? For three millennial this may have been a confusing verse to many


Here is a recent study from the Washington Post that explains it:


Snakes have fully formed inner ear structures but no eardrum. Instead, their inner ear is connected directly to their jawbone, which rests on the ground as they slither. Previous studies have shown that vibrations traveling through the ground—such as the footsteps of predators or prey—cause vibrations in a snake’s jawbone, relaying a signal to the brain via that inner ear.


This was too complicated for NIV translators so they took out the word “deaf.”


NIV: Their venom is like the venom of a snake,

like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears


But the snake is essentially deaf.


The ole 1611 got it right!

He adds:


Oh wait! I have a theory that furthers this discussion


Maybe the way that God fulfilled the curse below upon the serpent is by taking away his ability to hear and making him only hear when his jaw drags the ground.


Genesis 3:14; And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.


Thank you Kevin!

Finally, link covering that movement we find the Trekker 39's blue dial. And while the anti-reflective coating can make it hard to determine, the dial is a deep blue with a somewhat glossy finish that appears a dark navy blue in most light. Packing plenty of lume, not too much text, and a bright yellow seconds hand, the link Trekker 39's dial is certainly generic in terms of the base design, but the color and execution link still manage to shine.

Finally, link in a glorious nod to Chanel's haute-couture essence, the Mademoiselle Privé Bouton Décor Camélia secret watch alludes to a fancy button with its yellow gold centerpiece, adorned with the house's signature link camellia motif in sculpted mother-of-pearl, with diamonds front and center. The precious button, which opens to reveal a watch dial glittering with diamonds, is mounted on a quilted link mordoré leather cuff trimmed in golden calfskin for a soft touch.

Right now, Cools says that the link most difficult link part of being a watchmaker is that he has to concentrate not only on his work at the bench, but also on the commercial, marketing, and administrative aspects of his young business. Today, Cools handles everything – from answering the emails of a pesky HODINKEE editor to anglage and link polishing.
