Biblical Hebrew Forum

[fred burlingame <tensorpath AT gmail.com>]

I have said before.

And I will state again.

I have no purpose being here, posting here, other than to learn biblical
hebrew language ("BH") and literature.

That being said, the masoretic text involves itself with the day to day
lives of human beings. It purports to furnish a legal code for people living
day to day. It addresses numerous minute details and politically incorrect
issues relevant to people's daily lives.

Sanitizing the meaning of BH words, phrases, verses, chapters, scrolls, from
these subjects, eviscerates the purpose of the language.

Perhaps if BH manifested as and in a book like "alice in wonderland," a nice
sanitized discussion of the language could proceed.  ...

regards,
