Extract

The third day of creation was ushered in by an Oorayoo . Then “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy” (Job xxxviii. 7). This may be held to prove that other orbs had been inhabited before this globe appeared. The “shout” was used as a battle cheer; after an “Hourah” of the men of Judah, a vast number of the men of Israel fell down slain (2 Chron. xiii. 15–17).
