Exodus Literature Circle Work

For this chapter of the book, and for out literature circle group, I was designated lexicographer. So here are some words from Exodus that we had trouble with

Unequivocal-leaving no doubt "It's had to believe any water on earth could be so unequivocal." (390)


Gnashed-to strike or grind " A day ago we;d have given up our teeth for a good rain, and now we gnashed them in frustration over the deluge." (389)

Deluge-an overflowing of the land by water "A day ago we'd have given up our teeth for a good rain, and now we gnashed them in frustration over the deluge." (389)

Fledge-to rear until ready for flight or independent activity "On the day a committee of men decided to murder the fledging Congo, what do you suppose Mama Mwanza was doing?" (383)

Entreat-to make an earnest request "Each child has its own entreaties to body and soul." (381)

Precocity- exceptionally early in development or occurrence "You examine ever turn of flesh for precocity, and crow it to the world." (381)
