Trivia from 09 - Be Thou for the People

• Be Thou for the People
  The English title to this episode, which you may be more familiar with, is taken from the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically Exodus 18:19-20. "Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do." The meaning of the title is, as Edward mentions in episode, that an alchemist's duty is to work for the good of the people, rather than use alchemy for personal gain. I think it's a better title than the Japanese title.
