Does this look like Latin you razly ?

ויבא הפליט ויגד לאברם העברי
(Berashith 13:18)

ותקרא לאנשי ביתה ותאמר להם לאמר ראו הביא לנו איש עברי
(Berashith 39:14)

ותדבר אליו כדברים האלה לאמר בא־אלי העבד העברי אשר־הבאת לנו לצחק בי׃

(Berashith 39:17)
(many more available-)

Can you read these words razly?
Do you know what the word highlighted in RED is?
And by what word it is translated into the English?

Do you receive your Hebrew lessons from IamJoseph???? -- - -

Sorry razly, but I don't believe that its you who "got" me.-

More screw-ups Joseph, there is NO "error" present in the Hebrew inscription that is being discussed.
And the sculptor most certainly DID take this inscription directly "from THE Hebrew source".
I already explained, the Hebrew words that DO appear on that Supreme Court inscription, ARE correct, and proper Hebrew- written exactly as they appear in the Hebrew Torah- but you wouldn't know about that would you?
The beard of Moses' obscures the right hand portion of the stone tablet, where in the prefix "LO" would otherwise appear- if it was not hidden behind Moses' beard.
Even the spacing and proportions of the stone tablet imply that the "Lo" ("Not") would be present and visible if the beard were to be shifted slightly to the right to uncover the full inscription.
Again there is NO error present within that portion of the Hebrew that is visible.
Joseph, I am NOT a "Christian", and have no sympathy for Christianity. But in this particular case you are erroneous in attempting to pin "Christianity" as being the "bad guy", when the fact is that among American Christian's there are perhaps less than even one in a million who can even read what it is that is engraved upon that tablet.
And the sculptor who engraved it did not make any changes or errors in the Hebrew text, "artistic licence" allows him to arrange Moses' beard in any position he chooses.
Rather than slamming him, people who love The Torah, and the Hebrew letters and language ought to be thankful that he was one bold enough, when he could have so easily have coped out, as to engrave the actual Hebrew letters and text on a monument appearing within the very chambers of the highest Court in America, The United States Supreme Court.

IamJoseph

That is incorrect. A word can have more than one application, depending on its context. Here, the implementation of a checking criteria signifies a quest to arrve at the correct meaning. That this faculty has also produced many charalatans does not negate its primal reason.

Gamatria cannot be done with other languages which alphabets are not also numerals.This facility also renders errors virtually impossible to occur. The dead sea scrolls marks the longest period of no changes or errors of any other writings in existence; excepting only those etched in stone.

IamJoseph

I guess the law against 'IMAGES' applies here. Better to absorb via the mind and heart than the eye, which can cause one to go astray. Obviously, th sculptor was not initiated in the correct laws of the Hebrew.

Yes, but at least I have a sense of humour.

You honestly couldn't tell I was being sarcastic? Not even with the smiley face?

I give up on humanity. I do, I do.

One can always seek a pretext. The sculpter was a man with a strong respect for The Torah, and for the Hebrew language- else he would not have employed it at all
The "law against images" was that one should not attempt to make images of a god, "to bow down to them, or to serve them"
It is Moses' being depicted, and no one is expected to bow down before this image, worship this image, serve, or offer up sacrifices to this image.

I just finished posting the following on the thread Toto linked in the OP.

Bottom line is that the artist got it, sadly, about right...
