Jim,

I just find it quite unfathomable that almost every geographic name in the
Bible has somehow been misspelled and the multiple misspellings perpetuated
by scribes who knew about the places (and perhaps even lived in some of them)
and therefore didn't bother to correct things. Unfathomable. I'm just saying…

Over to you for the critique of Hegelian proportions.
