Jn 9:07b ... "Under-lead to-wash into the Pool of Siloam, ..."

The 2nd phrase has these 7 dialog words ... Hupage nipsai eis tēn kolumbēthran tou Silōam ("Under-lead to-wash into the Pool of Siloam, ...").

The 7 dialog words are bottom-up from the blind man to Jesus then diagonally down to the sides of a spiritual pool. The command Hupage (under-lead) is ironic word-play to see a blind man leading Jesus and 7 words down from the top of the pool to the bottom of the graph. The command nipsai eis tēn kolumbēthran (to-wash into the pool) is a reference to the clay upon his eyes that he should wash into the Pool of Siloam which was a spring fed pool of fresh water in the southern part of Jerusalem. The 7 words in the Pool of Light are tangent to Jesus as if he was standing on the ground over blind man in a mirror image to the Pool of Siloam." Five of the words enter into and traverse the width of the pool, the other two words are tangent to the bottom of the pool and the blind man who will stand as a messenger to the Jews.
