Dear All (with apologies for cross posting),
There has been some conversation about
resurrecting the miqra list for the discussion of
anything and everything pertaining to the Old Testament.
Ron Troxel would like to know how much interest there is.
Please contact him directly at the address below if you
are interested.
Thanks
Liz Fried
