RE: Re-evaluating the Star of Bethlehem: Part 5: The mark of divine approval: "the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee" (featuring @vuyusile as author)

Here's something you couldn't get from Is 60:1-3 without the Hebrew. I used to be able to read it, but have lost most of my ability. But I can still work with it decently.
The cadence is hard to get here, but you can see a chiasm in the sounds too. The letters in parentheses are the beginning sounds of the words in Hebrew. They're not exact, but with the cadence would have a similar sound. These numbers are in exact order they appear in the passage. And you can see that they mirror each other somewhat. (ch) is a gutteral "h", so almost a soft "k" sound. The italics letters are prefixes, having different meaning depending on construct and context. The most common is the waw (vav). Caveat - I'm out of practice and did this quickly, so it's prone to error. Anyway, just having some fun. :)

1 a - arise (q)
1b - shine (o)
1c - your light has come (b, o)
1d - glory of (u-k)
1e - YHWH (y)
1f - risen upon you (z)
2g - darkness cover earth (h-ch, y-k, e)
2g - thick darkness cover peoples (w-a, l)
2f - arise (y-z)
2e - YWHW upon you (y)
2d - glory will be seen (w-k, y-r)
3c - nations shall come to your light (h, g, l-o)
3b - kings to the brightness (w-m, l-n)
3a - of your rising (z)

Now you are blowing me away ! thanks for this enrichment!

lol, well, it took me way longer than it should have. But it was fun. :)
Your work with the stars is so far beyond my understanding that I can't even pretend to grasp it all. It's incredibly fascinating.
