In order for you to convince me that MW(D means "season" as in summer, fall, etc., you need to cite a verse where it can have no other meaning. This you have failed to do. All you have presented are idiosyncratic readings of very few verses.


HH: This is an illegitimate criterion because it may be possible to stick in an alternative interpretation. The question becomes what the best interpretation is. Demanding that there can only be one possible interpretation is an invalid approach because in many difficult passages there can more than one possible meaning for a word.

Dear Harold,

...

In your message, you referenced your reply to Karl. Was that
meant as a response to my analysis of Psalm 104, or as
additional information on Jer 8:7?
