This week's word was found in the book of Numbers. When Paul and I were reading the Office of Readings a few weeks back, I got the giggles because of the sheer number of times this word was repeated. Try to say it ten times fast and see if you can keep a straight face.
Reconnoiter
(rē-kə-ˈnȯi-tər) v. To engage in a preliminary survey to gain information.
"The LORD said to Moses, 'Send men to reconnoiter the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites' ... In sending them to reconnoiter the land of Canaan, Moses said to them, 'Go up here in the Negeb...' So they went up and reconnoitered the land... After reconnoitering the land for forty days they returned..."
As with last time, I challenge you to use this word in conversation this week. Good luck!
