God has his hands over the archer's hands and is pulling back that bow.

And he's not letting those arms shake.

He's making them agile.

He's giving him focus and he's drawing back that bow

and he's going to let it go exactly where he wants it.

This would have been well understood by anyone who had ever seen a Roman soldier.

The shield would not have been something like oblong.

It would have been something rectangular that looked like a small door.

Now, in those days, I was reading something, if this is accurate,

I was reading one of the

commentaries a couple of days ago, and I said, listen, it would have almost covered those warriors

because it was talking about how big it was.

And they said, you know, the average height was about five feet.

And I just, that's kind of hard to wrap our minds around.

It's all these little tiny, it's like, it's like watching the hobbits, you know, with all the little,

I don't know if that just strikes you as odd, but somehow I just never pictured.

I picture all these tall orders that was not the case.

But here's what they would do.

So they held out in front of them, so that right here in this hand, they had their shield

and they had their sword over here.

So the shield here, their sword here, because the sword was in, it was in this sheath right here.

Pull it out like this and got their shield.
