Dinner party, group of guests. Sympósion. Jesus fed five thousand, and they sat down in companies on the green grass. Even in a crowd, God arranges his people into places of provision and order.

Green, pale, the color of living things. Chlōrós. The rider on the pale horse bore this color as a sign of death, yet the same word describes fresh green grass. Life and death share a hue. Pay attention to context.

Grass, herbage, vegetation. Chortos. All flesh is like grass, and its glory fades like a flower of the field. What withers is not your worth. Root yourself in what endures.
