It carries the idea of breathing deeply as a physical desplay of one's feeling usually sorrow compassion or comfort, & was used once before in 2 sam 12:24 meaning being consoled over the death of an infant child. This study painted such a beautiful & yet painful picture of a loving God grieving at the site of the angel issuing punishment over Israel when the angel's hand reached the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite...God "gasped" in grief because that is the place where David had built an altar & where God's temple would be built, & even before that, Abraham had gone to sacrifice Isaac & God provided an alternate sacrifice...God "gasped" & grieved at that place of mercy and told the angel "enough"... and the angel withdrew his hand. I dunno. It was so very powerful to know God our Father so full of emotion too. <3Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02422733541802424256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460947530658065930.post-838658796993087112011-09-09T01:32:51.244-04:002011-09-09T01:32:51.244-04:00been doing a lot of crying these last 5 months... so much pain today, with all the disasters on top of the problems we've had for a long timedrswoodworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02996685954558891565noreply@blogger.com
