Steve,



I think in Psalm 22 the writer first said he is a worm and not a man. Worms
don't have hands, feet, or bones. Later he might have said "dogs have
surrounded me , companies of evildoers have surrounded me like a lion, my
hands and my feet I will count, all of my bones they will see." As a lion, he
has hands, feet, and bones. This possibility is a little different and would
require the writer to be a little witty. I have heard that people thousands
of years ago also had the ability to be witty and not just modern people, so
maybe this quote is an example of this. Of course, this is a controversial
idea to some people who think ancient people only wrote simple sentences like
me.
