Hello all. I have been lurking for a while. I don't always have time to follow every discussion, but nevertheless I have enjoyed most of what I've managed to read.

One thing I would request help on is the font issue. I assume that the bunch of question marks I'm getting in some posts (please see below) are probably being generated when the poster uses some Hebrew font I don't have on my computer.

I am running Mac OS X; would some one kindly inform me where to obtain the requisite fonts so that I can better follow the discussions?

regards,

I am often asked about the close resemblance of Hebrew BO, ?in him, by him?,
as in Genesis 41:38 ?one in whom [BO] is the spirit of God?

?????, ?????? ????? ???????? ????

and BO), ?come?, as in Genesis 39:16 ?until his master came [BO)] home?

???-????? ???????? ???-???????

This is my answer: The essential part of both BO and BO) is the Hebrew
existence marker, or fundamental concept, AB-BA, corresponding to the
English substantive ?be?, and represented by the letter B. The O sound in
both is the compacted Hebrew personal pronoun HU. Thus both BO and BO) are
the compound ?be-he?, but whereas in BO the existence marker BA is for the
property present in the person referred to as O, in BO) the existence marker
BA is for the body of the person referred to as O.

Both are related to the Hebrew POH, ?here, exists at this point?.
