Thought, for that matter, I haven’t been able to afford a good computer
either.

What I mean by that is that your arguments based on first year Hebrew and
the Masoretic points are not convincing, rather you need to list verses,
just as you did in answer to Nir, and analyse the contexts as well.

Hey, I’m not going to sling mud in this message. I can go back through your
previous messages and find not just disagreements as in this first case you
mention, but actual errors on your part, errors I can prove through Bible
references. But I don’t think the moderators would approve of it, so I will
stop here.

Viewpoint is irrelevant, what does the data say? An isolated example can
often be read in more than one way, is there a pattern that can guide us?
That’s why I asked Pere if he knew of other examples from which we could
recognize a pattern. You did that for him.
