Biblical Hebrew Forum

[David Kummerow <farmerjoeblo AT hotmail.com>]

My opinion is that George (and the other moderators who have generally 
remained silent) has been more than patient with your off-the-wall 
posts. My opinion is that I don't think you should have gotten away with 
that genre-bending post claiming that Satan in the Genesis narrative 
(not Genesis wisdom literature!) is really Adam's penis -- your 
imaginative scholarship can be downright offensive.
