  • Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 11:32:49 -0400


Theology aside (please!), what is the etymological and grammatical meaning of
the expression *avi-'ad* as found at Isaiah 9:6?

Translations differ quite a bit. Generally speaking, as determined by the
above, is the term pointing to the past, or to the future, or both?

Thanks.
