Dear  Yigal,
Thanks for your detailed response. I wonder what you think of the Philistine 
god's name "Dagon" - can it be understood as "little fish", and if so, in 
sarcasm? - or am I projecting from modern Hebrew? "Little fish" seems like a 
particularly sarcastic sting at what must have been a statue of some 
proportion.
 
Also - any idea where I can find The Rise of Yahwism: the Roots of Israelite 
Monotheism. Second and Revised Edition
by Johannes C. De Moor, E. Peters 

Seems unavailable anywhere.

 

Thanks

 

Noam Eitan from Brooklyn

No? I write poetry in Syriac every day :-)

siglia for Syriac and Coptic  (reading a text critical apparatus is tricky,
particularly when the witnesses cited are in a different language).

He does not cite a reading in Syriac for the verb.
