Hi Kirk,

anthropology and other "neighboring" topics are also within the scope of

itself."

Kirk,
Is it possible that the double part Gesenius played in the 19th century, 
both in adding his voice to those voices who were stating that Hebrew
word #3068 
[yod-shewa-heh-defective holem-waw-qamets-heh][i.e. JEHOVAH] was not
actually the 
true name of God, as well as proposing that a better vocalization of the
Tetragrammaton 
might be: [Yod-patah-heh-silent shewa-waw-segol-heh][ie. "Yahweh"] is it
possible that 
this issue could be discussed on b-hebrew at this particular time.
I own an original Volume One of William Smith's 1863 "A Dictionary of the
Bible",
which allows links to be provided to many interesting images,
that are found in William Smith's 1863 "a Dictionary of the Bible".

FWIW
JUST A THOUGHT,
Dave Donnelly

B-Hebrew is a forum for the discussion of the Hebrew Bible: its
language, grammar and content. Matters of history, archaeology,
anthropology and other "neighboring" topics are also within the scope of
discussion when they directly relate to or illumine the understanding of
the Hebrew Bible. But the central focus of this forum is the text itself.

Mr. Graham Tomason has pointed out an error in formating of the text 
files in the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex at

<http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml> .

The field width for the verse numbers in text files was too short to 
handle more than 99 verses as required by Psalm 119.  The field width 
has been increased to 3 digits.  The text file documentation was 
correct, however, the implementation was wrong.

Please feel free to make corrections, suggestions, and comments as a new 
build of the site will be made to accommodate the new version of the WLC 
in July.
