Biblical Hebrew Forum

["B. M. Rocine" <brocine AT twcny.rr.com>]

B-Haverim,

b-hebrew is a forum for discussing Biblical Hebrew, that is, the Hebrew 
of the Bible.  We are not here to discuss Biblical history or archeology 
 independently from Hebrew-related issues.  Jim West has informed us 
that ANE is up and running again.  That is a more appropriate forum for 
the post below.

Shalom,
Bryan Rocine
b-hebrew co-chair
