Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Dave Washburn <davidlwashburn AT gmail.com>]

"I don’t know Longacre, nor Rocine’s model, but Buth demonstrated on this
 forum that he doesn’t know Biblical Hebrew very well, because he 
doesn’t know Hebrew Bible. He made grammatical and syntactical errors."

You said in so many words "that he doesn't know Biblical Hebrew very well." I don't know how you can now claim you said no such thing, because it's right there.

I disagree with Buth a LOT. But he does know his field. How many times he's sat down and read it from cover to cover, and how long ago that was, these things are irrelevant. That's not the only way to know the language, and really, it may not even be the best way.

George:

This is a third time, you are maligning me.

I did NOT say that Randall Buth doesn’t know Hebrew. Go back a read what I wrote.

Karl, I just see no contrition from you for maligning Randall Buth as someone who does not know Hebrew. You can disagree with his knowledge, sure. But the statement that he does not know Hebrew is just vilifying and unacceptable. There are no straw men here. End of story.

Goerge:

Again you take my statement out of context, and use that as an argument. And that is after I already pointed out to you that you had done so. Once can be a mistake, a second time after the straw man was pointed out … ???

So Randall Buth reads the Hebrew Bible twice, is recognised by many others as a valuable contributor to knowledge of Biblical Hebrew, and yet you will stand by your statement that Randall Buth does not know Biblical Hebrew.

You astound me sometimes, Karl!

Oh and the BTW, his name is Randall. Not Ruth.
