WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on November 7, 1965.]

Formed man of the dust of the Ground (Gen. 2:7) The Semitic word aphar refers to the material out of which the Lord God formed man. It appears frequently in the Old Testament with the meaning "dust" and a number of other times with related meanings. In II Samuel 16:13, dust is spoken of as cast in contempt at David by his enemy. In the Septuagint Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the word corresponding to aphar is chaos, the word for dirt heaped or tossed upon the ground.

At even (Mark 1:32)

Substantial work, such as carrying invalids on litters, was forbidden on the Sabbath. Therefore the people waited until after sunset, when the Sabbath was over.
