[Ruthy & Baruch <alster AT bezeqint.net>]

How about Elam driving a garbage truck:
"ve`elam nasa ashpa be-rekhev" (Is 22:6)

Baruch

Since this IS the Biblical Hebrew List, allow me to tell these:

1. Where is a US-made car mentioned in the Bible?
Why, in the journey through the wilderness, of course: "vayishb mimmenu
Chevy".(num. 21:1)

2. And where is a flat tire mentioned in the Bible?
In Psalms 146:4, of course: "tetze' ruho tashuv le'admato"

3. And for you lottery lovers, where is Lotto mentioned?
In Psalms of course:
"yippol mitsidekha 'elef umiyminkha revavah 'eleykha lo' yiggash. raq
be(eynekha tabbit veshelumat resha(im tir'eh" - (Psalms 91:7-8)

This is certainly more pleasant than our previous discussion.
