#BibleStudy: Why Should God Discuss Our 'Making Water'? @ChristianAmbassadors #BibleHub @prayerDotOrg
Like a typical American man, I pee standing-up. Oh, I understand it's "good manners" to sit on the toilet (like I hear is required-by-law in public places in Europe, and like American men probably ought to do when 'going' in apartment-complexes or when you have mixed company at your house); but a) sometimes 'you gotta go' before you can get all the clothing down, and b) it just seems more-convenient.
That (particularly the idea that it's "the American way") makes me think of how The Bible has a few infamous announcements that God will disavow "any who #pisseth against a wall."
Oh, updated versions of those verses might use the word #urinates, or might interpret the verses as if they were simply referring to 'all males' (perhaps to the more-barbaric of them, warriors & soldiers); but the original text often refers to #Urination.
I'll look at those verses in a minute; but first, 'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a review of the text's 6 uses of pisseth) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Pisseth” is built of the word #Piss & the suffix -eth.
The word "Piss" on ancient words that are |Imitative of the sound that #Pissing makes (also a word for the |Urine it produces, with the Euphemism |Pee ... #PissOff can be 'the (usually British) Command to Go Away' or 'to Annoy Someone' (usually in America).
#Pissed #Pisses
#PissAndVinegar is a phrase referring to |Vim, Energy; a #PissProphet is "one who Diagnoses Diseases by Inspection of Urine"; #PissProud refers to one's 'member' when it's |Erect when one Awakens
The Hebrew words used there:
- מַשְׁתִּ֣ין (maš·tîn) - a form of שָׁתַן (shathan ... don't ask me how that works) which translates "to Urinate"
-
The Six Pee-Passages ('trans-literating the Hebrew translation'—i.e. translating the Hebrew words, but not putting them in any interpretative order ... followed by the 'Young's Literal Translation' to see how it's interpreted):
- 2 Kings 9:8
- wall (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) 'all the males' (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) 'from Ahab' 'and I will cut off' 'of Ahab' house 'The whole' 'for shall perish' 'of Israel' 'and free' 'and both bond'
- and perished hath all the house of Ahab, and I have cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
- 1 Samuel 25:22
- who 'of all' 'I leave' if more 'and also' 'of David' 'to the enemies' God 'may do' So wall (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) 'one male' (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) 'morning light' by 'to him'
- thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning -- of those sitting on the wall.'
- 1 Samuel 25:34
- unless except you 'from hurting' 'has kept me back' who 'of Israel' God Yahweh 'as lives' 'For indeed' 'of Nabal' 'would have been left' no surely 'to meet me' 'and come' 'you had hastened' walls (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) males (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) morning light by
- And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.'
- 1 Kings 21:21
- 'and will cut off' 'your posterity' 'and I will take away' calamity 'on you' 'I will bring' Behold 'in Israel' 'and free' 'and both bond' wall (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) 'every male' (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) 'of Ahab'
- lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
- 1 Kings 14:10
- 'every male' (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) 'from Jeroboam' 'and will cut off' 'of Jeroboam' 'the house' on disaster 'will bring' 'behold I' therefore 'of the house' 'the remnant' 'and I will take away' 'in Israel' 'and free' bond wall (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) 'it is all gone' until refuse 'one takes away' as 'of Jeroboam'
- 'Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall -- shut up and left -- in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;
- 1 Kings 16:11
- 'that he killed' 'his throne' on 'as soon as he was seated' 'when he began to reign' 'And it came to pass' 'and neither of his relatives' wall (בְּקִ֔יר bə·qîr) 'one male' (מַשְׁתִּ֣ין maš·tîn) him 'he did leave' not 'of Baasha' 'the household' all 'nor of his friends'
- and it cometh to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on his throne, he hath smitten the whole house of Baasha; he hath not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers, and of his friends.
