This is for Steve Miller.

Dear Steve,

In Job 27:23 there are two MW endings that have a singular reference.

Job 27:21 The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
Job 27:22 It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
Job 27:23 It claps _its hands_ in derision _at him_ and hisses him out of his place.

"Its hands" is KPYMW and "at him" is (LYMW.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
