The concluding words, in which the Assyrian boasts of having Jehovah on his side, affect the messengers of Hezekiah in the keenest manner, especially because of the people present.
Speak in Aramaic
They spoke Yehuudiith, i.e., the colloquial language of the kingdom of Judah.
The kingdom of Israel was no longer in existence, and the language of the Israelitish nation, as a whole, might therefore already be called Judaean (Jewish), as in Nehemiah 13:24, more especially as there may have been a far greater dialectical difference between the popular speech of the northern and southern kingdoms, than we can gather from the biblical books that were written in the one or the other.
|Nehemiah 13:24
And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the language of Judah, but spoke according to the language of one or the other people. (NKJV)
Aramaean ('arâmiith), however, appears to have been even then, as it was at a later period (Ezra 4:7 "...the letter was written in Aramaic script, and translated into the Aramaic language."), the language of communication between the empire of Eastern Asia and the people to the west of the Tigris (compare Alex. Polyhistor in Euseb. chron. arm. i. 43, where Sennacherib is said to have erected a monument with a Chaldean inscription); and consequently educated Judaeans not only understood it, but were able to speak it, more especially those who were in the service of the state.
Assyrian, on the other hand, was unintelligible to Judaeans, although this applied comparatively less to the true Assyrian dialect, which was Semitic, and can be interpreted for the most part from the Hebrew (see Oppert's "Outlines of an Assyrian Grammar" in the Journal Asiatique, 1859), than to the motley language of the Assyrian army, which was a compound of Arian and Turanian elements.
The name Sennacherib (Sancheeriibh = cin-'achiy-yeerib,
LXX Sennacheereim, i.e.,
"Sin, the moon-god, had multiplied the brethren") is Semitic; on the other hand, the name Tartan, which cannot be interpreted either from the Semitic or the
Arian, is an example of the element referred to, which was so utterly strange to
a Judaean ear.

|(11) Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to him, "Please speak with your servants in Aramaic since we understand it. But do not speak this message so that the men sitting on (to us in Judean so that the people on MT) the wall can hear."
See Note in lesson 15 on the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
The harsh reply is given - namely, because their rulers were exposing them to a siege which would involve the most dreadful state of famine.
The meaning of this is, that the inhabitants of the city,
if they do not surrender, will be subjected to the severest evils of
If they did not surrender, it was the purpose of the Assyrian to lay siege to the city, and to reduce it. But it was often the work of years to reduce and take a city.

From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(12) But the Rabshakeh said "was it to you and against your lord that my lord sent me to speak this message? Was it not rather against the men sitting on the wall, who will have to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?"
After Rabshakeh had refused the request of Hezekiah's representatives in this contemptuous manner, he turned in defiance of them to the people themselves.
The Cities
|North of Damascus (Amos 6:14)
|Tell Erfad
|13 miles north of Aleppo
|On the Euphrates, above Babylon (2 Kings 17:31)
The southernmost city of Mesopotamia, on the left bank of the Euphrates.
"Who were they among all the gods of these lands, who delivered their
land out of my hand?"
"How much less will Jehovah deliver Jerusalem out of my hand!?"
The chronicler also has this continuation of Rabshakeh's address in part (2 Chron 32:13-15).
The encouragement of the people, by referring to the help of Jehovah (2 Chron 32:6-8), is placed by him before this first account is given by Isaiah, and forms a conclusion to the preparations for the contest with Asshur as there described. Rabshakeh now draws nearer to the wall, and harangues the people.
A present (vs 16)
To make a berâkhâh with a person was equivalent to entering into a relation of blessing, i.e., into a state of mind in which each wished all prosperity to the other. This was probably a common phrase, though we only meet with it here.
Yaatsaa' (OT:3318) (and come out), when applied to the besieged, is equivalent to surrendering.
If they did that, they should remain in quiet possession and enjoyment, until the Assyrian fetched them away (after the Egyptian campaign was over), and transported them to a land, which he describes to them in the most enticing terms, in order to soften down the inevitable transportation.
Rabshakeh's words in verses 18-20 are the same as those in
Isa 10:8-11. The manner
in which he defies the gods of the heathen, of Samaria, and last of all of Jerusalem, corresponds to the prophecy there.
It is the prophet himself who acts as historian here, and describes the fulfillment of the prophecy, though without therefore doing violence to his character as a prophet.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(13) Then the. Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice
in Judean. He said, "Listen to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
(14) Thus says the king of Assyria, 'Do not let
Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you. (15) Do not let
Hezekiah compel you to trust in the Lord, thinking, The Lord will surely deliver
us, and this city will not be given into the power of the
king of Assyria.' (16) Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of
Assyria: 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; then everyone will eat
from his vine and everyone from his fig tree, and everyone will drink from the
water of his own cistern (17) until I come and take you to a land like your own
land, to a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and
(18) Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations saved you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations saved his land from the power of the king of Assyria? (19) Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharyaim? Have they saved Samaria from my power? (20) Which among all the gods of those countries has delivered their country from my power, so that the Lord might deliver Jerusalem from my power?'"
Here we see the effect of Rabshakeh's words.
wayachariyshuw (OT: 2790) (But they held their peace) [to be silent]
As the Assyrians wished to speak to the king himself (2 Kings 18:18), who sent the three to them as his representatives, the command to hear, and to make no reply, can only have applied to them (and they had already made the matter worse by the one remark which they had made concerning the language).
The three were silent, because the king had imposed the duty of silence upon
them; and regarding themselves as dismissed, inasmuch as Rabshakeh had turned
away from them to the people, they hastened to the king, rending their clothes,
in despair and grief and the disgrace they had experienced.
(From Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament: New Updated Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1996 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.)
Hezekiah had commanded them not to answer.
They were simply to hear what Rabshakeh had to propose, and to report to him, that he might decide on what course to pursue. It was a case also in which it was every way proper that they should be silent. There was so much insolence, self-confidence, blasphemy, the proposals were so degrading, and the claims were so arrogant, that it was not proper that they should enter into conference, or listen a moment to the terms proposed.
|There are circumstances when it is proper to maintain a profound silence in the presence of revilers and blasphemers, and when we should withdraw from them, and go and spread the case before the LORD.
With their clothes torn - This was a common mark of grief.
The godly do not escape their share of the trials which abound in this life of probation. Even good King Hezekiah, of whom it is testified that "he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done," was threatened with destruction by the overwhelming hosts of Sennacherib.
|Trust in Egypt was the great weakness of which the Jewish nation was guilty at that time.
|But there was also a godly party, of whom the king was the leader, and who trusted in Yahweh.
|Rabshakeh well said of the former trust, that Egypt was but a broken reed to lean on.
|But of trust in Yahweh he tried to rob the godly, through misrepresentation of the pious act of their king.
|That act was removing the unlawful high places and altars to God, and in insisting on a return to the law, which commanded that all should worship before the altar at Jerusalem.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(21) But they did not speak or answer at all, for the king's command was: "Do not respond to him." (22) Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and reported the words of the Rabshakeh to him.
See the account from Isaiah 37:1-39:8 along with 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.
Went into the house of Yahweh
Went up to the temple to spread out the case before Yahweh.
This was in accordance with the usual habit of Hezekiah; and it teaches us that when we are environed with difficulties or danger and when the name of our God is blasphemed, we should go and spread out our feelings before God, and seek His aid.
Then he sent...to Isaiah the prophet
It was customary on occasions of danger to consult prophets, as those who had direct communication with God, and seek counsel from them.
|sent messengers to Balaam to consult him in a
time of perplexity
(Numbers 22:5 ff)
|and the king of Israel consulted Micaiah in
time of danger from Syria
(1 Kings 22:1-13)
|when sick, sent to consult Elijah
(2 Kings 1:1-9)
|sent an embassage to Huldah the prophetess to
inquire in regard to the book which was found in the temple of the Lord
(2 Kings 22:14)
The children have come
Figure of speech - proverbial expression for, We are in the most extreme danger, and have no power to avert it.
There was the highest danger, and need of aid. It was as in childbirth in which the pains had been protracted, the strength exhausted, and where there was most imminent danger in regard to the mother and the child.
So Hezekiah said there was the most imminent danger in the city of Jerusalem. They had made all possible preparations for defense . And now, in the most critical time, they felt their energies exhausted, their strength insufficient for their defense, and they needed the interposition of God.
The living God
The phrase 'the living God' is often applied to Yahweh in contradistinction from idols, which were mere blocks of wood or stone.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(1) When Hezekiah the king heard this, he rent his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. (2) He sent Eliakim who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz. (3) They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah: this day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of disgrace; for children are at the point of birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. (4) Perhaps the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to scorn the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard: therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left in this city.
The external occasion which determined the return of Sennacherib, as described in Isa 37:36-37, was the fearful mortality that had taken place in his army. The shemuu'âh (rumor, hearsay), however, was not the tidings of this catastrophe, but, as the continuation of the account in vv. 8, 9, clearly shows, the report of the advance of Tirhakah, which compelled Sennacherib to leave Palestine in consequence of this catastrophe.
The faith of the king, and of the inquirers generally, still needed to be tested and exercised.
The time had not yet come for him to be rewarded by a clearer and fuller announcement of the judgment.
Matthew Henry observes:
|The best way to baffle the malicious designs
of our enemies against us is to be driven by them to God.
|It well becomes great men to desire the
prayers of good men and good ministers.
|When we are most trouble, we should be
most earnest in prayer.
|When there is a remnant left, and but a
remnant, it concerns us to lift up a prayer for that remnant.
|Those that have made God their enemy we have
no reason to be afraid of, for they are marked for ruin.
|The enemy's fears are but prefaces to their
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|.(5) So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. (6) And Isaiah said to them, "Thus you will say to your master, 'Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, those with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. (7) Behold, I will put a spirit in him, (in him a spirit MT & LXX) and he will hear a rumor, and he will return to his own land; I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.'"
Isaiah 37:8-38
Second Attempt of the Assyrians to Force the Surrender of Jerusalem
Its Miraculous Deliverance
Rabshakeh, who is mentioned alone in both texts as the leading person engaged, returns to Sennacherib, who is induced to make a second attempt to obtain possession of Jerusalem, as a position of great strength and decisive importance.
Libnah was a city in the south of Judah (Joshua 15:42), given to the priests,
and declared a city of refuge (1 Chronicles 6:54,57).
Eusebius and Jerome say it was in the district of Eleutheropolis (Calmet). It was about ten miles to the northwest of Lachish. This city was taken by Joshua, and all its inhabitants put to the sword. After taking this Joshua next assaulted and took Lachish (Joshua 10:29-32).
He had departed from Lachish
Why the king of Assyria had done this is unknown.
|It is possible that he had taken it, though this is not recorded anywhere in history.
|Or it is possible that he had found it impracticable to subdue it as speedily as he had desired; and had withdrawn from it for the purpose of subduing other places that would offer a more feeble resistance.
Tirhakah (Heb: Tirhâqâh)
This king, who, by Eusebius and by most ancient writers, is called Tarakos.
|He was a celebrated conqueror, and had subdued Egypt to himself.
|He reigned over Egypt eighteen years.
|When Sennacherib marched into Egypt, Sevechus or Sethon was on the throne.
|Sennacherib having laid siege to Pelusium, Tirhakah came to the aid of the city, and, in consequence of his aid, Sennacherib was compelled to raise the siege and returned to Palestine, and laid siege to Lachish.
|Tirhakah succeeded Sevechus in Egypt, and was the third and last of the Ethiopian kings that reigned over that country.
|He probably took advantage of the distracted state that succeeded the death of Sevechus, and secured the crown for himself. This was, however, after the death of Sennacherib.
|The capital
which he occupied was Thebes
(see Prideaux's "Connection," vol. i. pp. 141, 145, 149. Ed. 1815).
He sent messengers to Hezekiah
With letters or dispatches (Isaiah 37:14).
Hezekiah was probably ignorant of the approach of Tirhakah, or at all events Sennacherib would suppose that he was ignorant of it; and as Sennacherib knew that there would be no hope that Hezekiah would yield if he knew that Tirhakah was approaching to make war on him, he seems to have resolved to anticipate the intelligence, and to see if it were possible to induce him to surrender. He, therefore, sent substantially the same message as before, and summoned Hezekiah to capitulate.

From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(8) So the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting Libnah; for he had heard that he had left Lachish. (9) He heard a report about Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "He is coming out to fight you." When he heard this, he returned and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
There is historical importance in the fact, that here Sennacherib attributes to his fathers (Sargon and the previous kings of the Derketade dynasty which he had overthrown) what Rabshakeh on the occasion of the first mission had imputed to Sennacherib himself.
Do not let your God...deceive you
This is a known tactic of the enemy of our souls - to plant doubt of the existence, motives, and the intent of our Creator and Savior. Satan tried it successfully with Eve in Genesis 3:1 - "Has God indeed said...?"
The first message which had been sent by Rabshakeh (Isaiah 36:14-15) had been sent to the people
|to induce them not to put confidence in Hezekiah, as if he would deceive them by leading them to rely on the aid of Yahweh.
|designed to alienate his mind from God, and assuring him that resistance would be vain.
Gozan - in Mesopotamia, on the Chabour (2 Kings 17:6; 18:11). Gozan is the name of the district, Chabour of the river.
Haran - more to the west. Abraham removed to it from Ur (Genesis 11:31). His father died here; and from this place he was called to go into the land of promise. It is also the Carroe of the Romans.
Rezeph - further west, in Syria. It was situated about a day's journey west of the Euphrates, and is mentioned by Ptolemy by the name of Reesafa.
Eden - there is an ancient village, Adna, north of Bagdad.
Eden was evidently a country well known in the time of Isaiah, and was, doubtless, the tract within which man was placed when he was created. The garden or Paradise was in Eden, and was not properly itself called Eden (Genesis 2:8). It is probable that Eden was a region or tract of country of considerable extent. It is evident from the passage before us that it was either in Mesopotamia, or in the neighborhood of that country, since it is mentioned in connection with cities and towns of that region. It is mentioned by Amos (787 BC), as a country then well known, and as a part of Syria, not far from Damascus.
(from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft)
Telassar - According to Layard, Tel-afer, west of Mosul.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(10) "Say this to Hezekiah king of Judah, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, Jerusalem will not be delivered into the power of the king of Assyria. (11) Indeed, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, absolutely annihilating them. Will you be rescued? (12) Have the gods of the nations rescued them, those nations, which my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? (13) Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of Lair and of Sepharyaim and of Na, Ivvah, and Samaria?."
This intimidating message, which declared the God of Israel to be utterly powerless, was conveyed by the messengers of Sennacherib in the form of a letter.
The Assyrians have certainly destroyed nations and their gods, because these gods were nothing but the works of men.
Hezekiah's Sevenfold Prayer
|verse 16
|He addressed the Lord of Hosts (Yahweh tsŞbaa'owt 'Eloheey), the God of Israel.
|verse 16
|He recognized that God still dwelled between
the cherubim.
This was according to the covenant with Moses and all Israel about 940 years before this (Exodus 25:22).
|verse 16
|He recognized that Jehovah was the only God on earth.
|verse 16
|He acknowledged Him as creator of heaven and earth.
|verse 17
|He asked God to hear and see what was written in the letter which was spread out before Him, that it reproached the living God.
|verse 18-19
|He acknowledged that many nations and their lands had been laid waste by the king of Assyria who had also destroyed the gods of these nations; now he was threatening Judah.
|verse 20
|He concluded his prayer by appealing to God to save Judah from the hand of this mighty king so that all the nations of earth might know that He was the only true and living God.
Notice how Hezekiah's prayer follows the pattern of the Lord's prayer:
|The Pattern
The Lord's Prayer
Matt 6:9-13
Hezekiah's Prayer
Isaiah 37:16-20
|Praise and Worship
|Our Father which art in heaven , Hallowed be thy name
|O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God,
|Recognition and acceptance of His Kingdom
|Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
|You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
|The petition
|Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
|Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God...
|Request for deliverance
|And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
|Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand,
|Praise and Worship
|For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
|that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the LORD, You alone.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(14) Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers and read them. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord.
(15) Hezekiah prayed to the Lord,
saying, (16) "Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you
alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you made heaven and earth.
Incline your ear, Lord, and listen. Open your eyes, Lord, and see. Listen to
every word of Sennacherib, which he sent to mock the living God.
(18) Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria and devastated all the lands, (19) and they have cast their gods into the fire – for they were not gods but the works (work MT) of human hands, wood and stone; thus they have destroyed them. (20) Now, Lord our God, I will save us from his power, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, Lord, are God." (alone are Lord MT)
The prophecy of Isaiah that follows here is in all respects one of
the most magnificent that we meet with.
The question in verse 23 reaches as far as "and you turn your eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel" (Hitzig, Ewald, Drechsler, and Keil).
The question is put for the purpose of saying to Asshur, that He at whom they scoff is the God of Israel, whose pure holiness breaks out into a consuming fire against all by whom it is dishonored.
(From Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament: New Updated Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1996 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.)
Because you have prayed
"Because you have come to Me instead of relying on your own resources and strength."
"Because you have come to Me instead of relying on anther sinful nation to save you."
In 2 Kings 19:20, it is, 'Because you have prayed to Me ... I have heard.'
Despised you
That is, it is secure from thy contemplated attack.
The idea is, that Jerusalem would exult over the ineffectual attempts of Sennacherib to take it, and over his complete overthrow.
Laughed you to scorn
Sennacherib and his army would become an object of derision.
Against whom have you raised your voice?
He had evinced arrogance in his manner.
He was yet to learn that it was against the living and true God.
Not, as he supposed, against a helpless people.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(21) Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel to whom you prayed (because you prayed to me MT) about Sennacherib king of Assyria; (22) this is the word which the Lord spoke concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and mocked you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you. (23) Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and arrogantly lifted up your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel.
Here Yahweh begins to quote the boast of Sennacherib.
Height of the mountains, to the limits of Lebanon
Imagery from the Assyrian felling of trees in Lebanon (Isaiah 14:8; 33:9); figurative for , 'I have carried my victorious army through the regions most difficult of access, to the most remote lands.'
The extreme retreats;
the furthest part of Lebanon. Perhaps referring to the fact that on
the ascent to the top of the mountain there was a place for the repose of
travelers; a species of inn or caravansera which bounded the usual
attempts of persons to ascend the mountain. Such a lodging-place on
the sides or tops of mountains which are frequently ascended, was
not uncommon.
The Vulgate has: 'the height of his summit.'
Tall cedars
The word here denotes the cypress, a tree resembling the white cedar.
It grew on Lebanon, and, together with the cedar, constituted its glory.
Its wood, like that of the cedar, was employed for
|The floors and ceilings of the temple
|(1 Kings 6:15)
|The decks and sheathing of ships
|(Ezekiel 27:5)
|Musical instruments
|(2 Samuel 6:5)
Stanley says that pine foliage and cedars are still found on the northwest side of Lebanon.
The Chaldaic paraphrases, 'I will ascend to the stronghold of their cities, and moreover I will take the house of their sanctuary ("Lebanon"), and I will kill the fairest among their brave men' (answering to the tall cedars).
The boast of Sennacherib was that he would strip it of its beauty and ornament; that is, that he would lay the land waste.
Its fruitful forest
The Chaldaic paraphrases, 'the multitude of their army.'
It is known that Lebanon was covered on the top, and far down the sides, with perpetual snow.
But there was a region lying on its sides, between the snow and the base of the mountain, that was distinguished for fertility, and that was highly cultivated. This region produced grapes in abundance; and this cultivated part of the mountain, thick set with vines and trees, might be called a beautiful grove.
At a distance, this tract on the sides of Lebanon appeared doubtless as a thicket of shrubs and trees. The phrase 'garden-forest,' will probably express the sense of the passage.
Hogg says:
"After leaving Baalbec, and approaching Lebanon, towering walnut trees, either singly or in groups, and a rich carpet of verdure, the offspring of numerous streams, give to this charming district the air of an English park, majestically bordered with snow-tipped mountains. At Deir-el-Akmaar, the ascent begins winding among dwarf oaks, hawthorns, and a great variety of shrubs and flowers. A deep bed of snow had now to be crossed, and the horses sunk or slipped at every moment. To ride was impracticable, and to walk dangerous, for the melting snow penetrated our boots, and our feet were nearly frozen. An hour and a half brought us to the cedars."
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(24) By your servants you have reviled my Lord and said, 'With my many chariots I myself have climbed the highest mountains, to the farthest parts of Lebanon where I cut it down, its tallest cedars and its choicest cypresses. I entered its highest point, its most fertile forest.
Yahweh continues with His quote of Sennacherib's boast.
I have dug
In 2 Kings 19:24, it is "strange waters."
He was saying: "I have marched into foreign lands, where I had to dig wells for the supply of my armies; even the natural destitution of water there did not impede my march."
With the soles of my feet
Sennacherib thus alludes to his recent expedition against Egypt. But he suppresses his forced retreat from Pelusium.
"With the sole of my foot" expresses that as soon as his vast armies marched into a region, the streams were drunk up by them; or rather, that the rivers proved no obstruction to the onward march of his armies.
(from Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft)
Isaiah 37:25
The brooks of defense
"All the canals of fenced places." The principal cities of Egypt, the scene of his late exploits, were chiefly defended by deep moats, canals, or large lakes, made by labor and art, with which they were surrounded.
The boast of drying up streams with the sole of the foot, is
intended to convey the idea that he had not only supplied water for his own
empire by digging wells, but that he had cut off the supplies of
water from the others against whom he had made war.
The idea perhaps is, that if such an army as his was, should pass through the streams of a country that they should invade, and should only take away the water that would adhere to the sole or the hollow of the foot on their march, it would still dry up all the streams. It is strong hyperbolical language, and is designed to indicate the number of the forces which were under his command.
The whole language of the verse therefore, is that of a
proud and haughty prince, desirous of proclaiming his conquests,
and forgetting his mortifying defeats.
(from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft)
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(25) I myself cried out and drank foreign waters, and with the sole of my foot I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.'
Now Yahweh ceases his quote of Sennacherib's boasts, and continues with His message to Sennacherib.
The historical reality, in this instance the Assyrian judgment upon the nations, had had from all eternity an ideal reality in God (see at Isa 22:11).
It is designed to state to Sennacherib that he was under Yahweh's control; that this was the reason why the inhabitants of the nations had been unable to resist him; that he was entirely in Yahweh's hands.
God said to him - You boast that it is all by your counsel and might, but
|It is I who, long ago, have ordered it so
|You are but the instrument in My hands
|This was the reason why 'the inhabitants were of small power before you'
|Namely, that I ordered it so; yet you are in my hands, and I know your ways (Isaiah 37:28), and I will check you (Isaiah 37:29).
God pointed out that in reality, Sennacherib's conquests were no conquests at all:
|Not because you have so great power;
but because I have rendered them incapable of resisting you.
|They had little power
|They were feeble, unable to resist you.
|They were dismayed
|Their spirits sank; they were ashamed of their feeble powers of resistance; and they submitted to the ignominy of a surrender.
|They were as grass of the field
|The idea here is, as the grass of the field offers no resistance to the march of an army.
|They were as grass on the roof
|His enemies were not simply like the grass in the field, but they were like the thin, slender, and delicate blade that sprung up in the little earth on the roof of a house, where there was no room for the roots to strike down, and where it soon withered beneath the burning sun.
|They were as grain blighted
|Before it acquires any strength.
They were incapable of offering even the feeblest resistance.
Thus Yahweh shows Sennacherib that it is not by his cunning or military might that he had been successful in the past, but because he attacked the weak and helpless, and because Yahweh allowed him to achieve victory.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(26) Did you not hear how in the distant past I decided to do it, in ancient times planned it? Now I have made it happen that fortified cities should become devastated, besieged heaps. (you should make fortified cities crash into ruined heaps MT) (27) Their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and ashamed. They were wild plants, grassy sprouts, grass on the roofs, scorched by the east wind. (and a field before the standing grain MT)
Your going out, and your coming in
The expressions here describe a person's whole course of life.
Sitting down and rising up (Ps 139:2), going out and coming in (Ps 121:8), denote every kind of human activity. All the thoughts and actions, the purposes and undertakings of Sennacherib, more especially with regard to the people of Jehovah. Like a wild beast that had been subdued by force, the Assyrian would have to return home, without having achieved his purpose with Judah (or with Egypt).
Asshur is Jehovah's chosen instrument while thus casting down the nations, which are "short-handed against him," i.e., incapable of resisting him. But Jehovah afterwards places this lion under firm restraint; and before it has reached the goal set before it, He leads it back into its own land, as if with a ring through its nostril.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(28) But I know your rising up and sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against me. (29) I have heard of your arrogance, (Because I have heard of your raging against me and your arrogance MT) so I will put my hook in your nose and my bit on your lips, and I will turn you back on the way on which is destruction on which you came.
The prophet now turns to Hezekiah.
According to Thenius,
|(this year)
|The first year after Sennacherib's invasions, in which the people had been hindered from cultivating their fields by the Assyrian who was then in the land
|hasshânâh hassheeniith
|(the 2nd year)
|The current year in which the words were uttered by Hezekiah
|hasshânâh hassheliishiith
|(the 3rd year)
|The year that was coming in which the land would be cleared of the enemy and they could resume agricultural operations
It was autumn at the time when Isaiah gave this sign, and the current civil year was reckoned from one autumnal equinox to the other, as, for example, in Exodus 23:16, where the feast of tabernacles or harvest festival is said to fall at the close of the year; so that if the fourteenth year of Hezekiah was the year 714, the current year would extend from Tishri 714 to Tishri 713
But in the third year, that is to say the year 712-11, freedom and peace would
prevail again, and there would be nothing more to hinder the cultivation of the
fields or vineyards. If this should be the course of events during the three
years, it would be a sign to king Hezekiah that the fate of the Assyrian would
be no other than that predicated. The year 712-11 would be the peremptory limit
appointed him, and the year of deliverance.
(From Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament: New Updated Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1996 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.)
Psalm 126:5-6
(5) They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.
(6) He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 128:2
For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(30) "This will be the sign for you: Eat this year what grows of itself and in the second year what springs from that. In the third year sow seed, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
The agricultural prospect of the third year shapes itself there into a figurative representation of the fate of Judah. Isaiah's watchword, "a remnant shall return," is now fulfilled; Jerusalem has been spared, and becomes the source of national rejuvenation.
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(31) The escapees of the house of Judah will gather (be increased MT) and those who are found (the remainder MT) will take root below ground and bear fruit above. (32) For a remnant will go forth out of Zion and escapees from Jerusalem. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The prophecy concerning the protection of Jerusalem becomes more definite than it ever has been before.
To us, however, the words "Thus says Jehovah" are something more than a flower of speech; and we hear the language of a man exalted above the standard of the natural man, and one how has been taken, as Amos says (Amos 3:7), by God, the molder of history into "His secret."
|Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (NKJV)
Here also we see the prophecy at its
height, towards which it has been ascending,
through the midst of obstacles accumulated by the moral condition of the nation,
but with the same goal invariably in view.
The Assyrian will not storm Jerusalem; there will not even be preparations for a siege.
For I will defend this city
Notwithstanding all that Hezekiah had done to put it in a posture of defense, still it was Yahweh alone who could preserve it.
For my own sake
God had been reproached and blasphemed by Sennacherib. As his name and power had been thus blasphemed, he says that he would vindicate himself, and for the honor of his own insulted majesty would save the city.
And for my servant David's sake
On account of the promise which he had made to him that there should not fail a man to sit on his throne, and that the city and nation should not be destroyed until the Messiah should appear (see Psalms 132:11-12).
|Psalms 132:11-12
The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it:
"I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. If your sons will keep My covenant and My testimony which I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore." (NKJV)
From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(33) "Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He will not enter this city, nor build up a siege mound against it, nor shoot an arrow there, nor oppose it with a shield. (nor shoot an arrow there, nor oppose it with a shield, nor build up a siege mound against it MT) (34) By the way he came, he will return. He will not enter this city, says the Lord. (35) I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for my servant David's sake."
To this culminating prophecy there is now appended an account of the
catastrophe itself.
The first pair of histories closes here with a short account of the result of the Assyrian drama, in which Isaiah's prophecies were most gloriously fulfilled: not only the prophecies immediately preceding, but all the prophecies of the Assyrian era since the time of Ahaz, which pointed to
|The destruction of the Assyrian forces
|(Isa 10:33-34)
|The flight and death of the king of Assyrian
|(Isa 31:8-9)
According to Josephus (Ant. x. 1, 5), when Sennacherib returned from his unsuccessful Egyptian expedition, he found the detachment of his army, which he had left behind in Palestine, in front of Jerusalem, where a pestilential disease sent by God was making great havoc among the soldiers, and that on the very first night of the siege.
One angel - 185,000 men dead
When Peter cut off the soldier's ear, Jesus said to him: "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?" (Matthew 26:52-54)
Nisroch his god
Gesenius supposes that the word 'Nisroch' denotes an eagle, or a great eagle.
The eagle was regarded as a sacred bird in the Persian religion, and was the symbol of Ormuzd.
This god or idol had been probably introduced into Nineveh from Persia.
Josephus calls the idol Araskes.
The author of the book of Tobit calls it Dagon.
Vitringa supposes that it was the Assyrian Bel, and was worshipped under the figure of Mars, the god of war.

From The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
|(36) Then the angel of the Lord went out, and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. When morning came, there they were, all of them dead bodies. (37) So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp, left, and returned, and remained at Nineveh. (38) As he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
Isaiah 36:11 - 37:38 - from the Amplified Version
36:11 THEN ELIAKIM and Shebna and Joah
said to the Rabshakeh, We pray you, speak to your servants in the Aramaic or
Syrian language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the language of
the Jews in the hearing of the people on the wall.
(12) But the Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to speak these words only to your master and to you? Has he not sent me to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?
(13) Then the Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the language of the Jews: Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
(14) Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
(15) Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in and rely on the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us; this city will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
(16) Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree and drink every one the water of his own cistern,
(17) Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
(18) Beware lest Hezekiah persuade and mislead you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. Has any one of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
(19) Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad [in Syria]? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim [a place from which the Assyrians brought colonists to inhabit evacuated Samaria]? And have [the gods] delivered Samaria [capital of the ten northern tribes of Israel] out of my hand?
(20) Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land out of my hand, that [you should think that] the Lord can deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
(21) But they kept still and answered him not a word, for the king's [Hezekiah's] command was, Do not answer him.
(22) Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the recording historian came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of the Rabshakeh [the Assyrian military official].
37:1 AND WHEN King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes and covered himself
with sackcloth and went into the house of the Lord. [2 Kings 19:1-13.]
(2) And he sent Eliakim, who was over the [royal] household, and Shebna the secretary, and the older priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
(3) And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and distress and of rebuke and of disgrace; for children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.
(4) It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to mock, reproach, insult, and defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant [of His people] that is left.
(5) So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
(6) And Isaiah said to them, You shall say to your master, Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid because of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled and blasphemed Me.
(7) Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
(8) So the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah [a fortified city of Judah]; for he had heard that the king had departed from Lachish.
(9) And [Sennacherib king of Assyria] heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
(10) Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah: Let not your God in Whom you trust deceive you by saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
(11) Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. And shall you be delivered?
(12) Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my predecessors have destroyed, as Gozan, Haran [of Mesopotamia], Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
(13) Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad [of northern Syria], and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?
(14) And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. And Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord. [2 Kings 19:14-19.]
(15) And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord:
(16) O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, Who [in symbol] are enthroned above the cherubim [of the ark in the temple], You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
(17) Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib which he has sent to mock, reproach, insult, and defy the living God.
(18) It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands
(19) And have cast the gods of those peoples into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
(20) Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know (understand and realize) that You are the Lord, even You only.
(21) Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, [2 Kings 19:20-37; 2 Chronicles 32:20-21.]
(22) This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning him: The Virgin Daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the Daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.
(23) Whom have you mocked and reviled [insulted and blasphemed]? And against Whom have you raised your voice and haughtily lifted your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
(24) By your servants you have mocked, reproached, insulted, and defied the Lord, and you have said, With my many chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the inner recesses of Lebanon. I cut down its tallest cedars and its choicest cypress trees; I came to its remotest height, its most luxuriant and dense forest;
(25) I dug wells and drank foreign waters, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers [the Nile streams] of Egypt.
(26) [But, says the God of Israel] have you not heard that I purposed to do it long ago, that I planned it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that you [king of Assyria] should [be My instrument to] lay waste fortified cities, making them ruinous heaps.
(27) Therefore their inhabitants had little power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were like the grass of the field and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops and like a field of grain blasted before it is grown or is in stalk.
(28) But I [the Lord] know your sitting down and your going out and your coming in and your raging against Me.
(29) Because your raging against Me and your arrogance and careless ease have come to My ears, therefore will I put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way you came.
(30) And [now, Hezekiah, says the Lord] this shall be the sign [of these things] to you: you shall eat this year what grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same. And in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
(31) And the remnant that has survived of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
(32) For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and a band that survives out of Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
(33) Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow here or come before it with shield or cast up a siege mound against it.
(34) By the way that he came, by the same way he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the Lord.
(35) For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.
(36) And the Angel of the Lord went forth, and slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when [the living] arose early in the morning, behold, all these were dead bodies. [2 Kings 19:35.]
(37) So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned and dwelt at Nineveh.
(38) And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Armenia or Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

Fostering Support of Mathematics Learning in Multilingual Classrooms (Pre-K-12)
Funded by TODOS and NCTM.
TODOS-Mathematics for All has as one of its goals "to advance educators' knowledge and ability that lead to implementing an equitable, rigorous, and coherent mathematics program that incorporates the role language and culture play in teaching and learning mathematics."
The purpose of this grant is to provide financial assistance to pre-K-12 schools for in-service to increase understanding and expertise in fostering support of multi-language development when teaching mathematics. The proposed project must explicitly support the implementation of equitable and rigorous mathematics teaching that incorporates students' languages and cultures in their learning of mathematics. To this end, the proposed project should specifically address-
● the development of classroom materials with a consultant. The consultant must have expertise in both teaching mathematics and teaching language.
● the purchase of materials to implement professional learning with educators towards the above stated goal.
For 2020-21, one grant of a maximum of $4,000 will be awarded to a school. Costs may include honoraria and expenses for consultants, materials, substitute time during the school day, teacher stipend after the school day, and conference or workshop registrations. No funds may be used for staff travel or equipment. While this grant does not fund the purchase of technology equipment, proposals including professional development involving the use of technology to enhance student learning are encouraged. Indirect costs are not allowed. Proposals must clearly communicate the need your project aims to address. To support this, proposals should include school-specific data (e.g. context, demographics, academic mathematics performance, access to professional development) related to the goals of the grant. Additionally, proposals need to describe the scope of your plan that should include the mathematics content focus, number of teachers and students impacted, expected outcomes, assessment plan, other contributing sources of funding and distribution of costs. See Proposal Requirement checklist.

South Seattle and Tukwila light rail riders now have another option to get to the station.
On Tuesday, King County Metro launched Via to Transit, an on-demand transit shuttle system that services five light rail stations.
Light rail riders can call or download the Via app to request a ride to the Mount Baker, Columbia City, Othello, Rainier Beach and Tukwila International Boulevard stations from specific pick-up locations inside designated service areas.
A ride from anywhere in the service area costs the same as a bus ticket and can only be paid for with an ORCA card or the Transit Go app.
Download the Via app or call 206-258-7739 to request a ride with any phone, not just a smartphone. It's likely that you will be sharing the shuttle with up to five other people since the vans can carry up to six.
It should take about 10-15 minutes for you to be picked up, and the pick-up location may require you to walk.
The shuttle is mostly funded by $2.7 million from the Transportation Benefit District that voters first approved in 2010 and was later transferred to the City of Seattle in 2016.
It is a one-year pilot program.
Service times are listed below:
Southeast Seattle vans
Monday-Saturday: 5 a.m. - 1 a.m.
Sunday: 6 a.m. - midnight
Monday-Friday: 6 a.m. - 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

If Disney is the Magic Kingdom, this is the Magic Kingdom's cooler sister.
Morgan's Island Water Park is the place where kids with special needs aren't just included; they are ushered in with open arms and free admission. Yes, you read that right. All kids with disabilities get into this water-themed park for free, and that's just the beginning of its charm.
As the mom of a son with cerebral palsy, we know what "handicap accessible" usually means for a person who makes 90 percent of his movements in a wheelchair. It means ramps with bumps and peak-like curbs. It means elevators in dark corners far away from the main attractions. It means winding paths that you cross your fingers on, hoping they will wind you back to the main thoroughfare. It's often a game of trust and secret doors and mazes that make you wish for the wheelchair edition of Uber.
But Morgan's Island seems to be the anomaly. No more ramps. How about riverboats that rise to meet you instead? No more lugging my 40-pound five-year-old through the splash pads so he can get in on the action. They've got waterproof wheelchairs instead that run on air, the "PneuChair," which you can check out – for free. It's like a wormhole into Marty McFly's better world.
We've had the opportunity to go to Disney World and let it pass us by. Even with the fast passes for those with special needs, it just felt too…daunting. But Gordon Hartman, the owner and creator of Morgan's Island, seems to have thought of everything. He's even installed areas for privacy when kids need to be moved in and out of wheelchairs. He's got water-proof wristbands for tracking your kid if you know he or she is a wanderer.
Oh, and if your child is sensitive to water temperatures? No problem. The park can adjust the temps to their comfort level. And one of the biggest things for us: Hartman has limited attendance to half-capacity to keep the crowds down. One trip to an especially busy farmer's market can send my son into a tailspin, so I appreciate the sanctity of a little space.
Hartman says his main goal is "inclusion for those with and without disabilities." As the father of Morgan, a young woman with disabilities of her own, his foresight makes sense. This is what all parents of kids with special needs learn to do – think ahead to all contingencies. That's why he brought in other parents, therapists, and doctors to consult during the planning phase.
Hartman has also created a workforce, a third of which is adults with special needs. When my son sees a grown-up spinning wheelies in his wheelchair or using sign language with him, he gets to see a glimpse of a successful future, and so do I as his mom.
When asked about this non-profit park, Hartman said, "It is the most fulfilling work I could ask for…. It's better than making a dollar. This isn't even work, this is something different. I don't wake up for work feeling tired, I wake up wanting to get started."
The park opened Father's Day weekend to great aplomb, and we're planning our trip now. I've shown the videos to my son. He points at the screen and laughs and signs for "more." I've tried to explain that you can't have more of something you've never had. But in this instance, I catch myself thinking "more," too.
I want more of this in the world – more places where "all-inclusive" really does mean what it says. At least we've got a start.
The Truly Accommodating Splash Park Every Special Needs Parent Should Know About
Morgan's Island Water Park is the place where kids with special needs aren't just included; they are ushered in with open arms and free admission.
If Disney is the Magic Kingdom, this is the Magic Kingdom's cooler sister.

Yesterday it was a girlie almost family day out. My daughter, grandaughter, and bridesmaid went to a small village called Wickham first of all for lunch, or high tea whatever appealed to you.
I chose chicken salad with strips of bacon, walnuts, olives, salad leaves which was slightly warm. It was delicious. The rest of the party had their specialist tea. Sandwiches of your choice, scones with trimmings and a choice of scrumptious cakes and liquid refreshment of your choosing. You could also have Prosecco if you wished. No one rushed you and it was most enjoyable. The tea shop went by the name of Lilly's.
We left and wandered down a hill to visit an antiques/odds and ends emporium. Interesting as all these shops tend to be. You need quite a lot of time to really do it justice, and then back up the hill, into the car to find Anya's.
The bridal shop is situated in the middle of the country and is housed in a converted barn. Very attractive,
We walked to the front door and there was a heart shaped plaque with the words "Welcome Louise". A nice touch. She had already chosen the dress previously, this was just confirmation that it was indeed the dress of her dreams. It was. She looked very beautiful, but I didn't take any photos as I was worried that I might send them to all and sundry.
Then Waitrose oh the joy. I was so tired when I got home.
Trudy had been with Luna, and she was as tired as me. She hasn't as yet been out for a wee, and it's now 9 o'clock.
Quiet day for both of us.

Heart of Texas Invitational
2017 — Dallas, TX/US
College Preview Program
To the College Debate Community:
You are cordially invited to attend the College Debate Preview at the Heart of Texas Invitational. The preview offers representatives from college debate programs the opportunity to talk with high school students about debating in college. The preview will be held during the Heart of Texas Invitational Speech and Debate Tournament in Dallas, Texas during the weekend of October 14-16, 2017. Last year over 100 high schools from more than 30 states attended the tournament. College representatives from programs all over the United States were also in attendance. It would be our honor to host representatives from your school this year.
Colleges attending the preview are offered two full pages of advertising (no charge) in the tournament program. The ad pages should be sent to me so that they arrive no later than October 9th. Traditionally, ad pages have included a one page letter from the director, and one page of "college propaganda" about the school. You may format your two pages in any way that you think would be helpful to your recruiting efforts--as long as I get it by the 9th. We have gone to an online program which you might want to take into account when preparing your materials. There isn't a formal schedule for the College Preview Program. We do open a room between rounds five and six on Sunday morning to create a place for students to meet with representatives, however, you are free to watch rounds, talk with students, visit with friends, feed yourself in the coaches lounge, and visit our campus and our city. If you are willing to judge a round or two it would be sincerely appreciated, however, you shouldn't feel any pressure to do so.
This year we are on the weekend of the Texas-OU football game which means hotel rooms are in high demand. Our group block has a great rate but expires on September 10. Please make your reservations ASAP if you plan to attend.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email the tournament director, Tim Mahoney, firstname.lastname@example.com

Blog posting by Karly Placek, Documentary Studies and Production '15, FLEFF Blogger, Monroe, Wisconsin
Hey FLEFF fanatics,
It's the year of Mobilities, so let's get moving!
My name is Karly Placek and I'm pumped to be blogging and managing social media for FLEFF 2013!
I'm a sophomore Documentary Studies and Production major with minors in Honors and Anthropology.
This year is all about movement. Mobility has been a reoccurring theme in my life as I've traveled throughout most of the United States and a few other countries. I even moved from my small farming town of Monroe, Wisconsin to Ithaca, New York for college. I hope to continue moving throughout my life as I take my future career in documentary and new media overseas.
I'm out to discover new ideas about the human relationship with the environment during FLEFF 2013. As president of the Ithaca College Animal Rights community organization,I'm extremely interested in our society's dependance on animals as resources. I can't wait to meet our eco-centric guests this year!
I'm also excited about FLEFF's new partnership with EngageMedia, an international social justice and environmental awareness media forum. EngageMedia allows voices from countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Papua New Guinea to speak out about local issues with global effects. I can't wait to learn more about international environmental issues and maybe even contribute a short video featuring issues happening in Ithaca.
What environmental issues in Ithaca do you think need to be broadcasted internationally?

They commute to the a ways corners of the cosmos to tackle freelance problem-solving jobs, with dire results for his or her employers. "The such a lot thoroughly profitable of his books. .. right here Lem comes closest to inventing a true universe" (Boston Globe).
A largely different, immensely relaxing, and traditionally very important anthology, destiny On Ice is a exhibit for the most well liked tales by way of the good SF writers of the Eighties. whole with a preface, advent, and tale notes via Card hilself, listed below are early tales from eighteen tremendously gifted authors who've for the reason that shattered the face of technological know-how fiction.
Fifteen all-new tales by way of technological know-how fiction's best abilities, accumulated by way of bestselling writer George R. R. Martin and multiple-award successful editor Gardner Dozois Burroughs's A Princess of Mars. Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. Heinlein's purple Planet. those and such a lot of extra encouraged generations of readers with a feeling that technological know-how fiction's maximum wonders didn't unavoidably lie a long way sooner or later or light-years around the galaxy yet have been to be came upon without delay on a close-by global tantalizingly just like our own—a pink planet that burned like an ember in our evening sky .
As soon as upon a time, fairy stories have been for kids . . . yet now not.

Additional info for Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection
All I knew used to be that I felt increasingly more uncomfortable. It was once like having a stomachache within the brain, and it appeared to break all my enjoyable in being a technological know-how fiction author. So I argued it out with myself—not simply because i'm a noble individual yet simply because I hated feeling the way in which I did, and that i desired to believe higher. I stated to myself that Bob had blazed new trails, and that it didn't topic who did it, so long as it used to be performed. these new trails were opened no longer for Robert Heinlein, yet for technological know-how fiction, and we all who have been within the enterprise of writing or studying technology fiction can be thankful and grateful for we'd in the end adventure the good thing about Bob's pioneering. And that was once precise. simply because Bob made technological know-how fiction glance strong to those that didn't typically learn technological know-how fiction, and who despised it once they considered it in any respect, it turned extra attainable for the remainder of us to have our stuff released open air the style magazines—even within the SEP. (I had a two-part serial released in that journal myself ultimately, yet that was once whilst it was once gone its nice days. ) the results of my operating this out intended i used to be freed from disorder on later events. whilst my first booklet, Pebble within the Sky, seemed lower than the Doubleday imprint, it used to be in an issue of months by means of The Martian Chronicles via Ray Bradbury. I don't need to let you know that Ray's booklet some distance outshone mine. It didn't trouble me, for it appeared to me that the higher Ray's e-book did, the extra humans may learn technological know-how fiction in ebook shape, and a few of them will be bound to search for extra of an analogous and stumble over mine. they usually did. Pebble remains to be earning profits, thirty-six years later. And notwithstanding demanding it would be that Michael Crichton may possibly input our box instantly out of clinical institution, circulate correct as much as the radical point, and land at the best-seller checklist, and feature every person drooling over him, where's the damage? He did it (unintentionally, might be) for us. He extra to the respectability of technological know-how fiction between those that stumbled on us unrespectable, and made it more straightforward for the remainder of us to get at the best-seller record sometimes. faraway from snarling, we must always were cheering. one other element. A band of brothers (and sisters) is at its most sensible while there's not anything a lot to compete for. so long as we have been all getting not more than one and cents a be aware (as we did in that great Golden Age of Campbell) with out likelihood at publication book, international revenues and flicks; so long as the one kudos lets get used to be first position within the "Analytical Laboratory" which intended a half-cent-a-word bonus; so long as nobody outdoor our small box had ever heard of any folks lower than any circumstances—what was once there to compete over? the main profitable people have been nearly as completely impecunious because the least so there has been no cause to snarl and chunk. Now, besides the fact that, instances have replaced. there are lots of extra folks, and a few people write best-sellers. in truth, the best best-seller of the Eighties, Stephen King, is, after a way, certainly one of us. It's not a couple of thousand dollars that's at stake; it's a couple of million.

Red Cross was founded by women. Grown by women. And today, is led by women. We wouldn't be who we are and what we are without their incredible efforts. Meet some inspirational women.
Nurses. Volunteers. International aid workers. The women we're highlighting for International Women's Day come from all walks of life and do important work for Red Cross all over the world. The lesson? We are all capable of making a difference. Let them be an inspiration for you going forward.
Truphena migrated to Australia from Kenya in 2004. She now volunteers with Red Cross to help other newly arrived migrants settle in Australia. As a mentor Truphena provides friendship, support, and help with practical things like finding a job. She tells her mentees Usiogope, which means 'don't be afraid' in Swahili – and with the help of people like her we know they won't be. Read more »
Red Cross workers and volunteers make a difference all around the world. In Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar refugee camp Australian nurse and Red Cross aid worker Emily Holmes provided medical care for pregnant women, many of whom had gone their entire pregnancy without any prenatal care. One of her most memorable stories was bringing Amala's baby into the world. Read more »
But it is a place like this where you learn to focus on the positives. And despite the hardships and trauma, there are so many positives.
But it is a place like this where you learn to focus on the positives. And despite the hardships and trauma, there are so many positives.
Anne Carey, Barbara McMaster, Catherine Salmon, Catherine Fry and Ruth Jebb are 5 Red Cross nurses who have all played a vital role in supporting vulnerable people in times of crisis. They've worked in complex and dangerous environments from South Sudan to Yemen to Sierra Leone to Afghanistan, providing medical care for children injured in armed conflict, caring for patients with Ebola, and providing vital education on disease prevention and hygiene.
They're also extremely worthy recipients of the International Red Cross' highest honour, the Florence Nightingale Award. Read more »
Sometimes helping can be as simple as providing a comforting hand or a warm hug. An important part of the work Red Cross does has always been to support newly arrived migrants and asylum seekers. Here a Red Cross worker provides comfort and care to two young children in a Melbourne migrant hostel. Read more »
Helping people is at the very core of what we do. Carla, who moved to Australia from Brazil, volunteers with the Red Cross MATES program, helping socially isolated people stay connected within their community. Read more »
When I arrived here in Australia, I felt I needed to start volunteering again…I realised what had been missing - it was helping people.
When I arrived here in Australia, I felt I needed to start volunteering again…I realised what had been missing - it was helping people.

We arrived in Essaouira at night. No cars are allowed in the medina, so the car stayed behind in the large parking lot, and we walked our way through the big gates of the old city, pulling our trolleys behind us. At this point, it was very helpful to have the cellphone GPS with us, as we navigated through the narrow alleys. Also- check out the map at the end of the post.
Finally- our beautiful Riad, that's actually part of the old wall that surrounds the Medina. Our beautiful room had the most fabulous view. Through the window, part of the ancient wall, we had an amazing vista of the ocean. Waking up to THAT… Oh mine! Riad Perle d'Eau. Breakfast was great- served on the rooftop, with (what would be a staple in Morocco for breakfast) M'semen (local crepe), eggs, fruit, and coffee/tea. The Riad owners were very friendly and helpful.
We stayed in Essaouira 2 nights. The small Medina is easy to navigate and is vibrant and much fun. SInce there's so much to see, let yourself to be absorbed with this town, and here's what NOT TO MISS:
Synagogue Slat Lkahal
A somewhat restored synagogue that served the Jewish community in Mogador- old Portuguese name for Essaouira, that was built in 1850. The synagogue was a center for many social and religious aspects of Jewish life, as witnessed by the photos on the walls. Morocco is known for its good Jewish-Muslim relationship and as we travelled we have witnessed respect, love and compassion to the Jewish minority in Morocco. Slat Lkahal is located in the northern end of the Medina, in the heart of the Mellah (the original jewish area), and is just one of other synagogues in Essaouira. Synagogue Slat Lkahal.
Visit the old port
A mosaic of little fishing boats, fish stalls, ropes, nets, ships, seagulls, fishermen, and Moroccan mamas going out to purchase their fresh fish dinner. The sun is shining on it all, the sounds are taking over, as well as the smell, the wind, and sometimes the light spray of the sea, if you're standing close to the water. Breath and feel alive. Charming.
Salut Maroc- Riad and restaurant
You absolutely have to visit this place, and especially before sunset. Grab a table on the rooftop, order some light food and mint tea, and get ready for the most stunning sunset. They usually have live music as well. Get there an hour before that, and just tour around the Riad, all the way up to the rooftop, to discover the gems of dazzlingly intricate tilework and splashes of color (stairways, ceilings, floors, walls, tables, heck- even the restroom). I couldn't stop taking photos. It's definitely psychedelic. Salut Maroc.
Climb up to see the city line from above
Climb the old Portuguese ramparts, enter hotels and climb up to their rooftops (I recommend the views from Riad Mimouna, Skip the rest of the hotel, go straight to the roof).
Wonder the local quarter (both morning and night market)
Lose yourself by strolling around the non touristic areas of Essaouira within the Medina, and out. Observe the bustling life of the locals, buy and eat authentic food at the night market. Try the Harira soup from the vendor, or local moroccan crepes served with honey, nutella, or Amlou (almond spread mixed with honey and argan oil). Go for the spicy olives!
What else do I recommend?
-Chill with tea at African Roots cafe. Great vibes, great music, friendly staff.
-Share a lamb tagine, Moroccan tomato salad, or Pastilla (traditional chicken filo pastry pie). With so many eateries, it's hard to decide where to eat, and you'd wish you had more time to try them all. I advocate for the ones that look the most humble, and unassuming.
-Adore the doors and entryways. I'll have a whole post just for that. I'm obsessive.
