My favorite use of it is in this passage from Isaiah: [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning [shahar], and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearguard. > If it's of any consequence or use, several folks, including me, have > managed to deploy Narwhal applications with modules as Ihab and I > described them in January on Google App Engine.
