As far as I know whenever you have PeH + some sort of preposition it means 
"in correspondance to, in accordance with.  For example Gen 47:12 L:PIY 
HA++AP means 'according to the children.'  So here in Jeremiah 29:10 L:PIY 
M:LO'T, I render it as "according to the fullness of Babylon...."

Shoshanna,
How could that be? Adam & Eve were created on the 6th day. They all enjoyed
the Sabbath rest on the 7th day. God apparently was very happy on the 7th
day because He rested.

Do all Jews who accept the infallibility of the Oral Law think that Eve gave
birth to 5 children, all on the 6th day?

Also, on a side note. I hope you don't mind me asking, "Walker" is not a
Jewish name, correct? Were you born an orthodox Jew, or did you convert?

Thanks,
-Steve Miller
