Hi Karl,
Why should "we" limit "our" discussion to the language itself? The stated
list topics clearly include such subjects as history of the text, related ANE
culture, and literary analysis. Furthermore, does this "we" include you,
because only a few weeks ago you asked if Zerach was a general under a
Libyan Pharaoh. How was that limiting the discussion to the language
itself? Or should "we" limit the discussion to the language itself, only when
ideas of Biblical errancy begin to pop up, which "we" must not hear?
