This afternoon, continuing with my reading of the Book of Job, I found this:
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain (Job 29:23).
The phrase "latter rain" occurs only seven times in the entire Bible. Of these, Job 29 is the only one that also has a reference to being "washed" -- and in an unusual substance, not water -- in the same chapter:
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil (Job 29:6).
The phrase "washed in the blood" was the subject of a sync just two weeks ago, in "Temples, destroyed houses, and being childlike -- plus the Dublin temple and being washed in the blood." Part of this sync was a post by Maolsheachlann that mentioned people "singing something about being washed in the blood of Jesus."
Clicking now for the /pol/ thread, #27032496, I see that the original post only got five replies, all but one of which are about songs -- two quoting lyrics from the Prince song "Purple Rain" and two opining on who sings the best version of the hymn "Are You Washed in the Blood?"
