We had been talking about whether the NT translates the OT correctly.
This is far afield, I realize, but it strikes me that the concept of 
God's spirit (if that's what the Holy Ghost is, and actually I'm clueless)
is completely different in the NT from what it is in the OT.  The OT 
writers didn't feel compelled to masculinize a word with a feminine
gender.  The concept seems to have undergone a huge transformation.
But maybe everyone knows that -- except me. I had thought it was the ruaH. 
Anyway, the conceptual world of the NT writers seems very different,
so -- getting back to the earlier conversation -- one should keep this
in mind when using NT translations to get at a Hebrew text.
