Dear Liz:

OH, oh, it looks as if I stumbled into a question that is more theological 
than linguistic. It isn’t the first time.

I believe that it is important to analyse the Bible by dispassionate 
linguistic rules first, then let the theological chips fall where they will. 
But when people have strongly held theological positions, apparently that is 
a threat that needs to be defused and linguistics is an easy target.

Well,… I’m on record on another board (theology, not linguistics) for saying 
that I believe that Gesenius and his disciples BDB were wrong on several 
words, and they were animated by their theological position that overrode 
their linguistic scruples. That’s why I asked this question in the first 
place. I have other words and phrases with similar questions.

Karl W. Randolph.
