dugongs in the Bible

i just found it amusing that "dugongs" are mentioned in the Bible.

"14 Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows. [d] "
footnote:
[d] That is, dugongs
source: Exodus 26:14 (NIV)

the Bible, little angels and grammar

i learned something new from the Bible. all along, i thought the word cherubim was singular! 'turns out, it was not, and cherub was its singular form :D

"7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8 He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover." (Exodus 37:7-9 NIV)

sweet ;)

"You are my opposite, yet you are my equal. You are my strength, yet you are my weakness. You are my hope, yet you are my despair. You are such a wonder, yet you might be my greatest disaster. You are my inspiration, yet you may leave me in desolation."
