A-pun this rock

Paul Mackin notes:
">>>>For some crazy reason this reminds me of Joyce's famous defense of puns (I t
hink that's what is was), which is that the entire Christian Church is based on
a pun.
 
Upon this Rock (Peter) I will build my Church (Mathew or somebody)."


And in the original Hebrew, the Old Testament/Torah is filled with puns as 
well!  TRP follows in a great tradition!

(Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of the puns, which aren't necessarily meant
to be funny but perhaps to provide a kind of illumination.)
