Following drawing in oracle database, shown as a unidentified word no.0602 of the copy No.008032, the left part of drawing is a boat symbolized a shipping vessel. The biggest event about a shipping vessel before 3500 years ago and worthy to be written down on the bones and shells would only be Noah's Ark. About the right part of the drawing, it looks like an altar compared with the later Chinese drawings.
After going forth of the Ark, "Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar"(Genesis 8:20). If so, what are the circles on drawing of the right part? In the Book Of Deuteronomy, it said, " And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:"(Deuteronomy 27:5-6). Those should be stones.
This drawing derived the modern character, and means "wait....until...". Because of the Lamb of God's sacrifice on the altar, the justice is pending to wait a period of time, until the people truly repent, then "justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved"(Alma 42:24).
The offerings on the altar were blessed from Heaven, and these were the meat which the ancient Chinese were supposed to partake.
Following ordinance was the people of the Jou Dynasty (1027BC??-256BC) performing; one symbolized as the meat, and the other is for "living water".
