Your Mother Was A Hittite!

Years ago, I was reading Ezekiel, and I came to chapter 16, then, to verse 3, which reads:

Quote:
And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
I couldn't help but laugh a little. No sooner had I read the verse, then I could hear the voice of a snide, Italian New Yorker in my head saying "Ah, your mother was a Hittite!" (meant as an insult).

Have you ever come across any accidental humor in the Bible?

If so, share!

Re: Your Mother Was A Hittite!

i have come to see instances of be sure in your own mind as possibly being said TIC, if not outright facetiousness. There's a good one, that isn't coming to me at the moment, about controlling one's sex urge, too, i'll get back to you.

I love that verse and I broke out laughing the first time I read it.

Re: Your Mother Was A Hittite!

well, I cant think of any...

but I did get a call today from "Microsoft service center" letting me know that they were getting warnings from my computer that it was filled with terrible horrible viruses.

I told the dude that his mother was a Hittite...

not sure he understood... criminal didn't exactly know the English language very well.

Job 19;17: My breath is strange to my wife though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

Your Mother Was A Hittite!

...makes me think of continuing and saying:...

And your father smelled of elderberries!

(From some old Monty Python memory.)

Actually, it was more like Mel Blanc's Daffy Duck doing a snide, Italian New Yorker saying "Ah, your mother was a Hittite".
