Coining a customary distribution law of iniquity
by RS  admin@creationpie.org : 1024 x 640
1. Coining a customary distribution law of iniquity
The ancient Greek words for "pasture", "law", "nomad", "coin" are related. The progression appears to be from a pasture, to a distribution of sheep, to the rules for such distributions, to representations of such wealth as coins, etc. Some English words made from this word include "economy", "astronomy", "Deuteronomy", "numismatics", etc.

Interestingly, the word the KJV (King James Version) translates as "iniquity" is a negation of that word for "law".

17. Law
The modern Greek word "νόμος" (NO-mos) ≈ "law".

This word originally meant "distribution" by "lot" as in how something is allocated to others. The rules for doing this started as custom and developed, over time, to become known as the "law".
18. Distribution
The modern Greek word "νόμος" (NO-mos) ≈ "law" is related to the German word "nehmen" ≈ "take".

The modern Greek word "κατανομή" (ka-ta-no-MEE) ≈ "distribution" is, literally, according to the distribution, originally of sheep (or other animals).
19. Words based on the law
Let us look at a few words that, in Greek and/or English, have the Greek word for "law" as part of the word.
20. Economy: law of the house
The modern Greek word "οίκος" (EE-kos) ≈ "house" comes from the same ancient Greek word, although the more common Greek word for house is "σπίτι" (SPEE-tee) ≈ "house" which comes from the Latin word for "hospitality".

The modern Greek word "οικονομία" (ee-ko-no-MEE-a) ≈ "economy" is the word from which the English word "economy" derives and means the "law of the house" or "law of the living area".

The English word "ecology" means the study of the living area (e.g., "house").

The modern Greek word "οικονόμος" (ee-ko-NO-mos) ≈ "housekeeper"and is often translated in the KJV as "steward".
21. Astronomy: star laws

22. Deuteronomy: second law
The modern Greek word "Δευτερονόμιο" (THev-teh-ro-NO-mee-o) ≈ "Deuteronomy" literally means the "Second Law". The word can also mean "regulation".
23. Deuterium
The atom "deuterium", with two parts, one proton and one neutron, is a part of "heavy water" and called "heavy hydrogen".
24. Inherit: law of the lot
The modern Greek word "κληρονόμος" (klee-ro-NO-mos) ≈ "heir" and comes from two Greek words. Thus, an "inheritance" is a "lot" (as in throwing "dice") which is "distributed", the rules of which could become codified as a "law".
25. Numismatics: coins
The Greek word for "pasture" and then "distribution" and then "custom" and then "law" was coined, so to speak, to refer to coins. The studying and collecting of money of all forms is called "numismatics".
