and, (sorry for the double posting- I hit send before I was done).. the next
phrase has "belowy melachim" "salt rags????" (I wont even hazard a guess as
to what that might mean- but if the first one is menstrual (and note the
feminine noun) and this one is masculine...)
Its curious to me that the redactor spends so much time describing rags.
Thanks
Jim
