1 | The Massorah? | OT general | kalos | 30823 | ||
Hank: Thank you. Yours is the voice of reason and sanity. By the way, I don't know one word of Russian. But in my spare time, I think I'll purchase a Russian-English dictionary. Then I will be fully qualified to check our English translations of Tolstoy to make sure they are accurate. If there is any discrepancy between the original and the translations, I need only consult somone who has read a chapter or two of WAR AND PEACE. Between the two of us we will surely have more knowledge and authority than the original transators. If anyone believes that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell them. kalos |

How much you want for that old bridge partner? :-) EdB |

Ed: I'll take ten shekels for the bridge. Of course, first we'll have to start a thread to find the conversion rate between the shekel and the dollar. As soon as someone gives an answer, especially if it's the right one, we need to have some Internet Lone Ranger self-appointed shekel expert write in and tell the first guy he's wrong. This should be followed by 100 posts over a period of three weeks in which most of the Notes and Answers will come from those who have never in their lives seen a shekel and who don't even know how to pronounce the word. Included in the posts should be a quote or two from current publications in which the conversion rate (shekel to dollar) is accurately given. This will immediately be followed by warning posts cautioning the writer not to believe anything you read in establishment publications as to the value of a shekel. Then someone else will have to look up shekel in Strong's and work backwards into the original language. After the debate becomes more and more heated, bitter and divisive, someone should report it to the Lockman foundation and have it restricted from appearing on the homepage. A month from now someone will bring up the exact same question and we'll go through the entire farce again. In the meantime, another poster will ask how many shekels dowry did Cain's wife's father have to pay. To answer that question it will be debated whether Cain's wife's father was Adam, Cain's first son, a monkey, a Nephilim, or a fallen angel. By then the original bridge will have rusted and it will then be falling down, falling down, falling down. My fair lady. I'm sorry, Ed, what was your original question? In all the craziness we've lost sight of the original purpose of the thread. :-) Bless you, Ed, kalos |

Kalos, by all means start the thread on shekels. I want to get in on it, not that I'm an expert on shekels, mind you, but I do know a thing or two about the subject, having read a book called "Dr. Shekel and Mr. Hyde." --Hank | ||||||
