What if we were to teach ancient Hebrew according to the method explained below? I can think of many lines in the Bible that would be suitable as graffiti. I want to write a textbook of ancient Hebrew that showcases the language of politics and culture of the Bible.

Well John I think you may have discovered a new career path. You could move to cities where Ancient Hebrew is taught and leave your mark in Hebrew verse. I think you would make an excellent graffiti artist. Just an idea....

Hi Joshua,
a great choice for a graffiti on a wall not far from a locus of political power:
אתה האיש
Just saying.
It would be fun to work with a graphic artist on these things, and produce the graffiti virtually.
