6 months ago I said I would go through the different genres of the 3:16′s found throughout the Bible. What’s the point? It’s just for fun.
Joshua 3:16- “the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.”
Judges 3:16- “Now Ehud had made a double-edged sword about a cubit long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing.”
Ruth 3:16- “When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “How did it go, my daughter?” Then she told her everything Boaz had done for her”
1 Samuel 3:16- “but Eli called him and said, ‘Samuel, my son.’ Samuel answered, “Here I am’”.
2 Samuel 3:16- “Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back.”
1 Kings 3:16- “Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.”
2 Kings 3:16- “and he said, “This is what the LORD says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.”
1 Chronicles 3:16- “The successors of Jehoiakim: Jehoiachin his son, and Zedekiah.”
2 Chronicles 3:16- “He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains.”
Ezra 3:16- Does not exist.
Nehemiah 3:16- Beyond him, Nehemiah son of Azbuk, ruler of a half-district of Beth Zur, made repairs up to a point opposite the tombs of David, as far as the artificial pool and the House of the Heroes.
Esther 3:16- Does not exist.
Let me know what you favorite 3:16 of Israel’s History is.
