[Adragis]

I don't care if it's probably blasphemous to do so
The 'chariots of iron' thing is now my favourite bible verse
Although there's another one:
Daniel 2:1
'And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.'
department of redundancy department much

[Orange Wizard]

The redundancy is actually intentional. All these books were originally passed down orally, and repetition aids in memorisation.

[Adragis]

It's mainly the fact that 'Nebuchadnezzar' is said twice. It's quite the tongue twister

[Orange Wizard]

Maybe it's an easier name to say when you're Babylonian?

[Frumple]

It's significantly harder to spell than it is to pronounce. Pretty easy to repeat vocally, really. Not a very tongue twisty name at all.

[Adragis]

Depends. I have trouble saying 'Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar', but I suppose you're right.
It is 'nebber-ka-nezzer', right?

[penguinofhonor]

I think it's neh-buh-ka-nee-zer. I am not completely sure though.

[Rose]

Just watch the matrix. Then you'll know how to pronounce it.

[Graknorke]

My favourite is Genesis 11:8.

The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

I don't think it's meant to be inspirational.

[Calidovi]

I think it's neh-buh-ka-nee-zer. I am not completely sure though.

I say it Neh-bu-ka-neh-zer.

[Descan]

My favourite is Genesis 11:8.

The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

I don't think it's meant to be inspirational.

That's the best part.

If we're united, even God himself fears us!

[TD1]

Hehe.

Wasn't he scared because they were building a tower to him, or something? Wonder what he thought of rockets.

[Adragis]

I thought he was just angry they were being all arrogant and that.
We didn't build a rocket to get to God, we did it to stand on a ball of rock.

[TD1]

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

Well, it seems he wasn't scared of being reached. He was just afraid of what his creation could create.

Rockets would fit with that fear, I'd think.

[Descan]

Exactly. That's why I love that verse.
