SignWriting Question...from Deaf Church in Michigan

Fri Jul 3 20:32:40 UTC 2009

It took me some work to get it working. (And to be honest, I really  
don't know how I did it. Ha!) The part that is being asked about is  
when Jesus commands the multitudes to sit in ranks of fifties and one  
hundreds. I would read it as 3 groups in the three lanes as I had  
written before. I wish that I could get stills of what I am seeing,  
but I haven't figured out how to stop the video at the right times.  
Partly because he signs the second and third part really fast. Here's  
the stills that I have.
