Re: Spider's Webs and Cockatrice Eggs
This part is really compelling--
Quote:

Tsiphony means to “protrude the tongue.” Excuse the graphic nature of the deeper meaning which is “to extrude dung.” Here we find the real sin of Israel. They were protruding their tongues and all that came forth was excrement. Their words and conversations were vile in the sight of God. He was withholding His blessings because they could not learn to hold their tongues.

Graphic, yet powerful imagery there.
