In answer to Bill Rea's question, I presume Saul forgot to add the words "in 
this
particular forum, B-Hebrew" to the end of his comment.

| This seems a rather odd sentiment considering what we're discussing.
| How can one do a reasonable job of translating these books, which
| are primarily religious texts, by denying their religious context
