Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

When Moses finished writing on a scroll the words of this law in their entirety,

Therefore the palm of a hand was sent from him, and this writing was inscribed.

“This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, ¹  TEQEL, and PHARSIN. ² 

I, Tertius, who am writing this letter, greet you in the Lord.

I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions ¹  to you

Thus ¹  we are writing these things so that ²  our ³  joy may be complete. ⁴ 

I am writing to you, fathers, that ¹  you have known him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, that ²  you have conquered the evil one. ³ 

He ¹  asked for a writing tablet ²  and wrote, ³  “His name is John.” And they were all amazed. ⁴ 

I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.

I assure you ¹  that, before God, I am not lying about what I am writing to you! ² 

I am writing to you, ¹  little children, that ²  your sins have been forgiven because of his ³  name.

And he revealed to you the covenant ¹  he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, ²  writing them on two stone tablets.

David said, ¹  “All of this I put in writing as the Lord directed me and gave me insight regarding the details of the blueprints.” ² 

He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front ¹  and back; ²  written on it were laments, mourning, and woe.

Next I noticed the man dressed in linen with the writing kit at his side bringing back word: “I have done just as you commanded me.”

So all the king’s wise men came in, but they were unable to read the writing or to make known its ¹  interpretation to the king.

The prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah while he was writing down in a scroll the words that Jeremiah spoke to him. ¹  This happened in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah. ² 

Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub where it had rested to the threshold of the temple. ¹  He called to the man dressed in linen who had the writing kit at his side.

At that very moment the fingers of a human hand appeared ¹  and wrote on the plaster of the royal palace wall, opposite the lampstand. ²  The king was watching the back ³  of the hand that was writing.
