Nimrud
- a project to produce a virtual reality experience of the Assyrian
capital.
Under development by LearningSites. Discussion 1 - Read all of Genesis and be
able to talk about the structure of the book. Bring
questions. Be cranky.
Discussion 2: Reread just Genesis 1 - 3 and be ready to talk about the creation story.
Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we
remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors
demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill .
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
7 Remember, O Lord , what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
"Tear it down," they cried,
"tear it down to its foundations!"
8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
