Yada, Yada, Yada


I don't know why but this struck me as funny.  Every now and then we hear sayings and phrases enter into popular speech.  Things like yada, yada, yada.  Well take a look at this pattern from Ezra.

Ezra 4:10(NKJV)
10and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnapper took captive and settled in the cities of Samaria and the remainder beyond the £River—and so forth. £

Ezra 4:17(NKJV)
17The king sent an answer:          To Rehum the commander, to Shimshai the scribe, to the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria, and to the remainder beyond the River:         Peace, £and so forth.

And so forth.  That just seems like such a modern day phrase that it seemed out of place to me.  Made me chuckle.  Have a great day!
