I dont wish to seem pedantic... but I have changed the subject line and
dropped the word "lamech" (whatever that was supposed to mean) and replaced
it with the proper name of the letter used to spell 'El. Hopefully when
folk check the archives in the year 4987 perhaps they will realize that the
name of God was 'El and not 'elamech.

:-)

Best,

Jim
