Dear Lew

Thank you for your reply, sorry it has taken me a while to respond- preparing
for a Hebrew exam actually.

I am impressed with the picture you have built up from the text and can guess
how you arrived at some of it. Can I ask some follow-up questions? What do you
mean by "drunk, but not with wine?" How do you get the interpretation 'we know
enough, we don't need to study any more?' (I wish I could have said that about
preparation for my Hebrew exam :-)

Cheers,
alastair
