GENESIS

Dumb mud

“Madam, I’m Adam”

Eve damned Eden, mad Eve

Cain: a maniac

EXODUS

Egad, no bondage!

“Live not on evil!”

LEVITICUS

Repel a leper

NUMBERS & DEUTERONOMY

Are we not drawn onwards, we Jews, drawn onward to new era?

JUDGES, PROPHETS, KINGS, & WRITINGS

Now, sir, a war is won

Egad! A base life defiles a bad age.

THE GOSPELS

So – let’s use Jesus’ telos.

Dogma: I am God!

Deliverer re-reviled

“Abba, abba…”

Did I do, O God, did I as I said I’d do? Good, I did.

Deified

REVELATION

Won’t I panic in a pit now?

(most of these palindromes are not original to me, but I cannot find good attributions)

(I apologize for skipping the Pauline epistles, but I couldn’t find or invent good palindromes to describe them. But if we follow most scholars in rejecting 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Ephesians, then modern commentary on the Pauline epistles could be “some men interpret nine memos”)

(I realize the title “Semite Times” might lead one to expect a more general history of the Jews beyond the Biblical period. I cannot do this concept justice, but a good chunk of modern Israeli history could be “bar an Arab”)

(Sounds Biblical as heck but unfortunately doesn’t seem to correspond to any actual Bible story: “So may Obadiah, even in Nineveh, aid a boy, Amos”.)
