Biblical Hebrew Forum

ultimately, nir;

story matters.

words have no fixed meaning. actual usage determines meaning. the chronic
debate here about individual word meanings settles that point.

hence, if the language subject of this forum were recorded in one of these
stories, the words would carry much different meanings.

so, nir; .... you need to first decide for yourself the existential
question. is the story here talking about space/time or another universe
called eternity?  most people today believe the latter. and that's
wonderful. people are free to believe what they want.

but the answer to your questions about specific words in this language, all
depends on your answer first, to the existential question. what is the story
about?
