Tagged!

Erin tagged me, so here goes:

Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five other people.

Like Erin, my computer is right next to a bookcase, but here goes, because Walter Brueggemann's Theology of the Old Testament is actually on my desk:

"The full sentence of testimony, which characteristically becomes revelation in Israel, is organized around an active verb that bespeaks an action that is tranformative, intrusive, or inverting. Thus special attention may be paid to causative verbs in the hiph'il stem. In what follows, we shall give detailed attention to the regular stock of verbs used by Israel in its testimony. "

In turn, I tag Erik, Sean, Cory, Kristie, and Kristin.
