The Development-Sinews
On January 27, 1958, the Israelis published a series of four stamps with the pictures of different types of ships.
Quoted in Hebrew and English on the stamps’ tabs are some of the prophecies concerning how the Jews will return to Israel.
The first stamp has a picture of an ancient vessel with the quotation of 1 Kings 9:26 “And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is
beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.”
The second stamp has the picture of the ship Nerit, with the quotation of Proverbs 30:10 “The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.”
The third stamp has a picture of a ship, M/S Shomron, with the quotation of Proverbs 31:14
“She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.”
The fourth stamp has the picture of S/S Zion, with the quotation of Isaiah 51:10 “Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?”
