Early this morning as I begin to think about what Roberto had posted on the tread, wrbones started,
"I'm gonna rant fer a minute.... "
I came across these words, where God is describing to Job the creation of the world.
Job 38:1-7
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-
7 while the morning stars sang together
and <b>all the angels shouted for joy? </b>
(from New International Version)
The Hebrew word used is "ruwa" which means not only to shout, but to shout with joy.
ruwa` (roo-ah'); a primitive root; to mar (especially by breaking); figuratively, to split the ears (with sound), i.e. shout (for alarm or joy):
KJV - blow an alarm, cry (alarm, aloud, out), destroy, make a joyful noise, smart, shout (for joy), sound an alarm, triumph.

So, it seems the first <i><b>roo-ah,</b></i> was shouted in the heavens and angels were the first Marines.
Just thought I'll share that separately
