" Can we, for starters, conclude that at least one of the above claims
   is false? " 
      asks   Stephen Goranson  http://www.duke.edu/~goranson  
  "Jannaeus, His Brother Absalom, and Judah the Essene?"        
   
   
     The answer, for starters, depends on our expertise in Second 
  Temple paleography and onomasticon, and especially the 
   sciences involved in establishing authenticity of the physical
  evidence such patina and the ossuaries (see the Krumbein report,
   for one.)
   
   It is true that absence of knowledge, or half knowledge, does not 
  stop people on this list and others from regurgitating partially digested
  opinions, so the question can be regarded as retoric.
   
   And whether the question is within the sphere of this particular
   list is another matter.
   
  Since the question also includes the name of someone
  accused of forgery, let me just point out that in this country indictment
  does not equal conviction, neither does it in Israel (as anyone who 
  follows even cursurily the domestic scandals there knows).
   
  Personally,as they say, I have no opinion on this issue.

<http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/c.pl?book=Deu&chapter=6&verse=5&vers
ion=KJV#5> &chapter=6&verse=5&version=KJV#5 shows the tense of Deuteronomy
6:4 'ahavta as Qal perfect

 

Other online resources confirm that a general present might be a suitable
literal translation

 

Any thoughts - 1. why is it always future, implying imperative and 2. what
is the ta suffix - I have a new Hebrew book of verbs but it is all in Hebrew
so its rather tough slogging at the moment but I can't find the ta suffix as
a verb part 

 

Thanks for your patience with the questions
