My Redeemer Lives





My Redeemer Lives
      19     iAll my close friends abhor me,
And those whom I love have turned against me.
      20     jMy bone clings to my skin and to my flesh,
And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
      21     “Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends,
For the hand of God has struck me!
      22     Why do you kpersecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
      23     “Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
      24     That they were engraved on a rock
With an iron pen and lead, forever!
      25     For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth; (Job 19:19-25)[1]

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
