Hello,
   
  Thank you very much for the analysis on Gen 4:7. The various explanations 
settled my confusion. What about Gen 1:1? and a reference to Wisdom? G. 
Schroeder in his book, The Hidden Face of God, highlights this understanding 
of Bereshit referring to Wisdom. Any insights? references in the OT? material 
on the matter? 
   
  Peniel Momoh, 
  Dominican Institute, Ibadan, Nigeria.

9. Mainz International Colloquium on Ancient Hebrew (MICAH)
Invitation and Call for Papers
(2nd circular)

The 9th Mainz International Colloquium on Ancient Hebrew (9. MICAH) will 
take place at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (Germany), from 
Friday, 14 to Sunday 16 November, 2008.

You are invited to give a lecture, either a short paper (20 min plus 5 
discussion) or a full lecture (45 min plus 10 discussion), as you please.

Topics cover the grammar and linguistics of Ancient and Classical Hebrew 
(Epigraphic and Biblical Hebrew, Qumran and related Hebrew, and Ben 
Sira), as well as studies of adjacent languages and epigraphy, for 
instance Ugaritic, Phoenician-Punic, Old and Imperial Aramaic, Moabite 
and Edomite. Also welcome are topics on general epigraphy, paleography, 
and general linguistics in connection with these languages.

Submitted paper topics will be arranged into special sessions, within 
the following areas:

Biblical Hebrew
Postbiblical Hebrew
Ugaritic
Canaanite
Phoenician-Punic
Aramaic
Transjordan
Lexicography & Semantics
Epigraphy & Palaeography
General topics of Northwest Semitic paleography.

Conference languages are German, English, and French. As we wish to 
avoid parallel sessions, sessions will be deemed closed when the optimal 
number of proposed papers for each are accepted. For this reason, if you 
are considering participation, the earlier you send your proposal the 
better.

Postgraduates, or PhD. doctorate students are explicitly invited to 
present their projects where they might benefit from collegial 
discussions. Any one applying in this category, please indicate clearly 
your institution and supervisor.

For participation, we request a fee of 35 Euro, which is due on site. 
For those who present a paper, participation is free. Active students 
can request the suspension of fees and it might be granted depending on 
the availability of funds.

Please send paper proposals to the undersigned (lehmann AT uni-mainz.de) 
and indicate the topic (preliminary or working title) and the preferred 
length of presentation.

While no formal pre-registration form is needed, for planning purposes, 
it is nevertheless important that we receive soon an email declaration 
of intent, at the above address.

We are not organizing travel or housing arrangements, but will gladly 
inform you on available lodging near the University.
