W e read from 2:22 – 2:40. Some of the questions and items that we discussed during the study were the following:
- 2:26 – What does God mean when describing the allegory of the mosquito “ GOD does not shy away from citing any kind of allegory, from the tiny mosquito and greater.”? Someone compared this verse to 22:73: O people, here is a parable that you must ponder carefully: the idols you set up beside GOD can never create a fly, even if they banded together to do so. Furthermore, if the fly steals anything from them, they cannot recover it; weak is the pursuer and the pursued.
- 2:26 – The expression “What did GOD mean by such an allegory?” occurs in 2:26 and 74:31.
- 2+26+74+31 = 133 = 19×7
- 2+74 = 76 = 19×4
- 26 + 31 = 57 = 19×3
- Number of verses from 2:26 – = 5491 = 19×289
