I am not sure of the actual implications of QADO$, but this I know That the root QD$ is a variant of the root GD$ (and also XD$), 'grow, rise, pile up, pack', from which we have the GADIY$ of Ex 22:5, implying that QADO$ is a thing of elevated inherent value. It is possible that MI-QDA$, 'temple', is but a tall structure.

Isaac, thanks very much for your answer. This is indeed what I thought, bot=
h editions I have mention hatuf patah but a third one that I have (Vigourou=
x)mentions shewa which reflects your version as well. =0A=0AIf you say "any=

to hatuf patah, then ? to me this is definitely an error and no support can=

Jim:

First of all, we are talking about Hebrew, not Canaanite.

Secondly, )BL, alternate spelling )WBL, is found in 14 verses in Tanakh: as
early as Numbers before Israel crossed the Jordan, also in Judges, Samuel
and Kings as well as Daniel.

Third, do not confuse this noun with a participle concerning the action of
water flowing, as you did with two mentions in Isaiah.

Fourthly, I asked you, where do you get your strange definition, and you di=
d
not answer me. You did not get it from studying the text of Hebrew.

Finally, the cities that were the conquests were in Judea, in the hill
country, not in the north which were under the control of Jeroboam,
Shisherka=E2=80=99s (Thutmosis III) puppet.

You wrote: =E2=80=9CWhere )BL, alternate spelling )WBL, is clearly defin=
ed, it
refers to a
watercourse, such as an irrigation ditch or stream bed. It has nothing to
do
with pastureland (except to water it). With this being the case, your
equation makes no sense.=E2=80=9D



The word )WBL, and its variant )BL, only appear in the late Book of Danie=
l,
and they are talking about a river way out in Mesopotamia. Daniel 8: 2,
3, 6 Most scholars do not see this word as being the same as )BL that is
used 12 times in the Bible as the first word in Canaanite geographical pl=
ace
names.



)WBL and its shortened form )BL, meaning =E2=80=9Criver=E2=80=9D, may be =
related to YBL,
which means =E2=80=9Cwatercourse=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9Cstream=E2=80=9D. I=
saiah 30: 25; 44: 4



By sharp contrast, the Canaanite word )BL is not talking about a river or=
a
stream, but rather is talking about =E2=80=9Cexcellent pastureland=E2=80=
=9D or =E2=80=9Cmeadow=E2=80=9D,
such as Abel-Beth-Maacah or the Sorek Valley. That Canaanite word )BL is
the same as the Egyptian letters JBR, which reference the Elah Valley, th=
e
Sorek Valley, the Aijalon Valley, and Abel-Beth-Maacah on the Thutmosis I=
II
list. JBR/)BL is referencing a meadowland, not a river.
