Also from Reuters - another oddity

KIBBUTZ MAANIT, Israel (Reuters) - A Texas oilman is using his Bible as a guide to finding oil in the Holy Land.

John Brown, a born-again Christian and founder of Zion Oil & Gas of Dallas, can quote chapter and verse about his latest drilling venture in Israel, where his company has an oil and gas exploration license covering 96,000 acres.

"Most blessed of sons be Asher. Let him be favored by his brothers and let him dip his foot in oil," Brown quotes from Moses's blessing to one of the 12 Tribes of Israel in Deuteronomy 33:24.
Pete's Points:

I guess American Christian extremists have taken a lead from their President. He thinks he can do anything on earth and so some others are starting to believe that they can do anything under it.

Amazing!

It would be even more amazing if he actually finds anything.

What I also love about this article is the spelling. I keep wondering whatever happened to educated editors. I cab live with "favored" but "MOSES'S"? You have to be kidding!
