["Sesamo m." <sesamox AT hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I studied a little Hebrew at University and I remember the teacher telling 
us that the Hebrew name for Mary was pronounced "Maryam" in biblical times 
(both for Moses' sister and Jesus' mother) and "Miryam" in later Hebrew. 
Also Samuel was pronounced "Samuel" in those times and "Semuel" in later 
Hebrew.
I admit I'm not sure to remember this accurately. I'd like to ask you if 
this is so, and also which other examples of important characters from the 
Bible you could mention.

Thanks in advance!

Sergio (Madrid)
