Hullo again InklingElf,

I like your name, btw.

As for your seeing a connection between the flight to the Ford of Bruinen and the Parting of the Red Sea in which Pharoah's horses and charioteers eventually were drownded, thank you for pointing out this connection. And after the crossing of the Ford, there is a lengthy time of trial and purgation spent wandering deserted wastelands, eating manna/lembas. Now that you mention it, I can agree with you as to the similarities ... on my own, I'd never looked at it that way, so you've taught me something new. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
