Dear Moshe,


Harold, words mean something. KRU cannot be distorted to mean pierced, when it means to dig (a hole). A truck is not a wheelbarrow even though both have four wheels.

HH: But your claim that the word can only mean the English "dig" seems overthrown by the LXX. The words "They dug my hands and feet" are not meaningful, so the LXX obviously means something else. So the word ORUSSW, which means "dig," also means something else. Evidently the Hebrew word does too because the same problem arises in the Hebrew variants.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
