columns . This is the invariable practice of ancient
manuscripts . A common size of column would hold
about one third of a page of Souter's print .
The edge of this sheet was attached to a wooden dowel
and the sheet wound round this central pin . The roll made
a simple and serviceable book . It was robust - the number
which have survived the centuries is ample evidence of
this - and it was easily stored . It had two disadvantages . It
was generally a single-sided form of book , and it was not
an easy form of book in which to find a
reference .
This last objection might have had some weight in
ecclesiastical circles . In his Natural History , 13 . 11-12 ,
the elder Pliny tells of the use of papyrus in roll-making .
As Pliny was killed in the eruption of Vesuvius which
overwhelmed Herculaneum and Pompeii in A.D. 79 , his
information is contemporaneous with the New Testament .
The other form of book was the codex . In this the
sheets were bound together down one edge much as
they are in modern books .
Against these advantages the codex was fragile and
might be bulky . It is sometimes possible to tell
whether or not a particular text was written on
a roll or a codex . Rolls were prepared for
writing , but any papyrus left unused at the
end could be cut off . If the text was longer than
the roll , a sheet could easily be glued on .
The verso of the roll was blank , and one
cannot think of an author , Mark for example ,
sending out his Gospel lacking the ending ,
while one whole side of his roll was unused .
The codex form was not so accommodating . Even
in the case of the single-sheet quire , an extra
sheet glued on might have to be gummed on
over the binding , or the whole codex rebound .
A natural transition from gardens and
orchards to the vital question of water
supply . The pools are probably natural springs
enlarged to become reservoirs or cisterns in
the rock . King Mesha of Moab boasts of their
construction in lines 9 , 23-25 of the Moabite Stone ,
which read : And I built Baal-meon and made
in it the reservoir ... and I made both the
reservoirs for water inside the town .
The word Shamir was used as a
personal name ( Git. 68a ) . The Hebrew
word " SHAMIR " means guarded or preser-
ved . Therefore , the real man , who
regards himself as insignificant , as the
prayer says : " What am I ? A worm " , he
is the Shamir and such a man fulfils
the Shmah , loves the Lord God with
all his heart , and with all his soul and
with all his might and studies the
word of God .
This man is the worm , the creature that
cuts and polishes Altar-Stones . Such
a man is the Shamir that guards him-
self against all the irrelevant pleasures .
Such a Shamir possesses the real acid
to mould our character , to melt our
heart of stone . This Shamir helps
us earthly creatures to build an Altar
for God to come nearer to God .
The action of the Shamir writes books and their
books are readable . This Shamir is indeed a rare
diamond that incises the hardest rock , the hardest
facts . And these creatures existed from the
beginning . It is " the stone , which the builders
refused , but it is to become the head-stone
of the corner " . ( Ps. 118 , 22 . ) And the stone shall
tell !
" For the stone shall cry out of the wall " , like
Baalam's ass , " and the purlin of timber shall
creak in answer " " if the roof of our security is
crushing our soul " ( see Hab. 2 , 10-11 ) . And it is
through the Shamir : " That the earth shall be
filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the
Lord , as the waters cover the sea . " ( Hab. 2 , 14 . )
The Shamir's daily life writes the Decalogue ,
which is written on two plates , the hard facts
of life , and all facts are " one " . We have all
come across human Shamirs and they leave
a deep impression on our feelings and senses .
They make us the Altar for God to emit
the Light which can be read in every
language . The Shamir is the " seventh " and
most important creature , that was created on
the eve of the Sabbath , to bring the
Sabbath , real peace to the whole world .
Then the whole earth will be His Altar . " And it
shall come to pass , if 1ye shall 1hearken
diligently unto my commandments , which I command
you this day , to love the Lord your God , and to
serve Him with all your heart and with all
your soul . " This may seem very good , but there
is something deficient .
Under such conditions without putting your
mind together we cannot solve the further
summons of destiny , to solve the economic
