Just recently, a new book by Dr. James D. Price, a former faculty member of 
Tennessee Temple University and Temple Baptist Seminary, has been published 
on the KJV. He is a memeber of this list, but would be too modest to mention 
it. It is aimed at providing answers to ministers and laymen to help answer 
some of the accusations of those who insist that the KJV/AV is the only 
legitimate translation. I've read it and found it to have a lot of 
information that isn't found in other books on the subject. I apologize if 
this announcement is considered inappropriate, but I've found it to helpful 
to me personally.
 
The book is KJV Onlyism: A New Cult by Dr. James D. Price. 
 
It is available as a hardback for $29.99 from:
 
Tennessee Temple University Bookstore
1815 Union Ave.

Dear Gary,

Your Israeli friends simply read Exodus 2:10 and understood it literally.
Actually, the verb N$H with the meaning "to draw from water" appears in the
Bible in only one other context, that of Psalm 17:18 and its parallel in 2
Sam. 22:17. Modern Hebrew actually does not use this verb in this way, but
the biblical story of Moses, including how he got his name, is known to
every Israeli Jew.

The real historical origin of the name Moses is more problematic, and
depends to a large extent on the origin of the Moses story. If one assumes
Moses to be a historical figure, then yes, It would make sense that his name
be Egyptian, in which case the etymology given in Exodus 2:10 is
etiological. If one assumes that Moses is an Israelite legend, then the
question would be, did the author of the legend purposely use and Egyptian
sounding name, or did he mean that he was named in Hebrew.
