I have Thackson and there are not very good explanations on things in the 
Book.  I think that It would be good to probably use Thackson in a Class 
setting but I feel is very poor for learning on your own.  I am primarily a 
Hebrew/Arabic/Aramaic/Akkadian/Sumerian/Egyptian 
Heiroglyphics/Hieratic/Demotic Person and I feel that trying to Go at 
Thackson on your own is like trying to Kasher a Pig.  IT'S TOUGH GOIN'.  So 
any help, advice, guidance would be very much appreciated

For what it's worth, I agree with this assessment.

Shoshanna


Yohanan:

I think part of the answer lies in the difference between the Hebrew
and English definitions of "name". I read this verse with the
understanding that in Hebrew, "name" had a broader meaning than in
English, which included references to attributes, not only the formal
name. So that when the prophet came with the claim that the "name" was
Yedidyah", he referred to the attribute that Sholomo was beloved of
YHWH at that time, not that that was his name in the more restrictive
English sense.
