Bible Notes: Mind

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

Hebrew: Amos 4:13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadethupon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

The Old Testament is like a library that evolved over centuries, with its earliest traditions rooted in storytelling. Within this expansive collection, traditions like the Israelite creation story could appear in many different genres, or types, of literature. The creation account that opens the Old Testament is highly stylized, very much like a song with stanzas and predictable refrains, telling an orderly story as a ballad does. It has many features that make it easy to listen to, understand, and learn by ear.
