Karl W. Randolph:
1. If MWLDT/mowledeth "refers to where one is born", then how do you
understand the usage of that word at Genesis 43: 7 and 48:6?
2. Why do you understand the mem as meaning "where"? Doesn't mem mean,
rather, "from"? Doesn't MWLDT literally mean "from brought forth"? Isn't
the
focus of MWLDT on "descendants", those human beings who come "from" being
"brought forth" by one's father? That's how I see it.
Why do you see the focus of MWLDT as being on the geographical place where
one is born? Are you viewing MWLDT as meaning "from [the geographical place
where one was] brought forth"?
3. Doesn't MWLDT usually refer to people, namely certain of one's relatives
(one's father's descendants), rather than referring to a geographical place
(where one was born)?
