The Terebinth Tree

7.11.21

For 40 days
	There was a great gathering in the tree’s valley

For 40 days
	The tree divided two hordes

For 40 days
	A man from one horde
	nearly the size of the tree itself
	joined it alone in the middle space
	and waited

For 40 days
	Fear was with the other horde
	and it squirmed like a bound animal

For 40 days
	The tree drank the sun in anticipation
	and shaded the man who was named Goliath
