Not meaning to respond to myself. I just wanted to comment that I
haven't had the chance to even check BHS yet. I found this in reading
the weekly parashah this morning with a friend. I'll check BHS when I
get home from the gym tonight after work. Thanks for any and all
responses I find when I get home. :)
