iKabod Shuffle

My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give him the praise. Joshua 7:19(a)

After reading about kabod (God's glory) and Ichabod (no glory or God's glory departing) for my last blog, I came across a discussion on these words in another book. However, this particular book used the original spelling for Ichabod - ikabod. And I thought it quite fitting that the only literal, as well as figurative, difference between the two - being in the midst of God's glory and being removed from His glory - is putting "I" (ourselves) before kabod (God's glory).

I wonder if God was thinking about that when he created grammar.
