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

george,

i understand that the issue is extremely sensitive: was jesus' 
birth predicted in the book of daniel? in this case, a lot of 
importance is placed on the exact interpretation of the temporal 
count.

i wish to put forth an alternative hypothesis: that this verse 
(and similars in the OT) was edited posthumous to
jesus. in this case, any deviation in the temporal count may be 
explained as a truly historical error, or a numerical simplification,
comitted by the anonymous scribe/author, possibly one associated 
with the early christians.

this is a mere hypothesis for discussion with no underlying 
ideological conviction except, perhaps, a certain dose of atheism.
i hope i am not pushing the limits of b-hebrew to too stormy waters...
