["Nir cohen - Prof. Mat." <nir AT ccet.ufrn.br>]

isaac,

i am amazed that a "goy" has to explain this to you:

                                                 "qabal "before" is an 
Aramaic preposition that presumably has no place in the current text":

I&II Kings: A Commentary, MA Sweeney, 2007. p 371.  so, for the qamac of 
"qabal" maybe we have to look at Daniel.
