I actually thought from looking at the translation on Hansen's site that M'B was the word for "the" (which gives you some idea how little Hebrew I know). Hell, it only dawned on me that MLK was Melek and meant king at the very last minute and added the changed translation as sort of a throwaway. I didn't even think that there was an entire word in the transliteration that didn't show up in the translation. Eh, well, what're you gonna do? |

I'm disappointed. |

I suggest that this thread is not about "Biblical Criticism & Archaeology" but, rather, entirely about King Arthur's peurile attempts at self-aggrandizement. While I see no need to deny him such efforts, they seem far more appropriate to "Rants, Raves, Preaching, Etc."

I know you and Vorkosigan are trying hard to get my threads moved, but this is about Biblical Archaeology and the El Kerak inscription applies. As a matter of fact, a few people have learned some things inspite of those who'll never learn. Follow their lead and you'll be the better for it.

You know! You all should be really thankful that you have Wizardry, Peter, and a few others around! This place would be pretty intellectually backrupt without them!
And, of course, without me, you'd have no one to hate! {come on over to the dark side, Luke} |
