Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her **moedim** : and the turtle (dove) and the crane and the swallow shamar/guard/protect/hedge the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of Yehovah.
Today as we were returning from Tiberius to our house we came up the back road through the kibbutzim and moshavim (farms/orchards/groves) up a winding and steep road that would be similar to a county road in the US.
My husband and I were deeply involved in a conversation and as I round the bend and popped over the hill we all but drove through a large group of swallows diving and darting in their mating season dance. If it had not happened just so, if the swallows were higher in the sky, I wouldn’t have seen them in this moment.
The swallows have returned at their mo’ed to guard their time-of-life/reproduction on The Land. Unfortunately, as I was the driver, there are no photos to provide you with today. You will have to take my testimony as my solemn word.Updated Jan 21, 2018, 3:29 PM
