Our good friend Fr Michael Burgess contributes the following, from the Authorized Version of the Bible:

Isaiah 37.36
When they arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses

1 Kings 13.27
He spake and said Saddle me the ass – and they saddled him (Who is him?)

A few more we’ve collected. Suggested texts for sermons?

There were giants in the earth in those days Genesis 6.4

At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. Exodus 4.24

Left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers Isaiah 1.8

The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork. Job 39.13

I always thought this was a good one for parish week end charades, but once they’d guessed the key words the current vicar got it in one. Modern translations are slightly less bizarre but not nearly so much fun.

Ps 60:8 “Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, be thou glad of me.”

It isn’t my own language but seeing as the Russians have so lovingly adopted me, “Christos voskrese! Voistinu voskrese!”

I asked Fr Jirayr about the butter. Apparently it is a form of anointing, as Jesus’ feet were anointed. The butter given in small tubs to the faithul after the liturgy is used by the people in their homes as they wish, and is akin to people taking holy water home.
