Biblical Hebrew Forum

[George Athas <George.Athas AT moore.edu.au>]

No one's trying to expel Mike. We've just asked him to consider whether B-Hebrew is actually a forum that serves his purposes.

Mike, you're welcome to stay, but we would ask you to think about whether the way B-Hebrew operates is in line with what you're trying to get out of it.

George and Yigal (moderators), I agree with you.

But... since Mike's main trouble seems to be the word B'DY, we might have replied that in biblical use  this word is or means "for me".(for instance the last word in Ex 8:24).  And also "behind me" as in Jon 2:7.

And that it appears nine times in the Bible.

Namely, we might have tried to make our list interesting for Mike instead of trying, indirectly, to expel him from it.
