A drawing of Ezekiel's Visionary Temple from the Book of Ezekiel 40-47

"If I forget thee, O' Yerushalayim..."

Psalms 137:1-6

(1) By the rivers of Babel, there we sat down and we wept as we remembered Tsiyon.

(2) We hung our lyres upon the willows in the midst of it.

(3) For there our captors asked us for the words of a song, and our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”

(4) How could we sing the song of יהוה‎ on foreign soil?

(5) If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget.

(6) Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Yerushalayim above my chief joy.

[edit] About self

I'm a graduate of Auburn University's MIS program and currently working in the IT industry. I enjoy working with computers and people, but I'd much rather be working with dead people (i.e. working with "History", which is probably the career path I should have taken).

"No regrets. Read a book."

Scythian warriors, drawn after figures on an electrum cup from the Kul'Oba kurgan burial near Kerch. The warrior on the right strings his bow, bracing it behind his knee; note the typical pointed hood, long jacket with fur or fleece trimming at the edges, decorated trousers, and short boots tied at the ankle. Scythss apparently normally wore their hair long and loose, and all adult men apparently wore beards. The gorytos appears clearly on the left hip of the bare-headed spearman; his companion has an interesting shield, perhaps representing a plain leather covering over a wooden or wicker base.
