In Dan 2:5 and Dan 2:8, there seems to be the same sentence, but with alteration in word order: 2:5 milleta minni azda, 2:8 azda minni milleta Is there any...
Is it not for the reason that in Dan 2:5 milleta minni azda is used absolutely as direct speech, while in Dan 2:8 azda minni milleta placed as a temporal...

Hi, In tiberian vocalized Hebrew Bible the term is )u$$arna) The lemma seems to appear in the Egyptian Aramaic papyri as: )$rn and )$rn) some scholars (Porten,...
Thank you and to Hayim for responding. The problem is that none of the definitions that I've seen fit in with the Elephantine papyri. It can't be "walls" or...
Liz, In April 1983 I spent an entire day on that word (Krahmalkov's seminar). From those old notes: C. G. Tuland, JNES 17 (1958) 269-75, "material (for...
I think about "carpentry work" that fit both a boat and a house because I can't think about "walls" or "support pillars" related to a boat. This is the...
Liz, Can you email me your texts (TAD A 6.2:5; TAD B.3:23; A. 4:7:11; 8:10) or at least passages where the word occurs in any electronic form. I sit home and...

Dear Phil, et. al. Ah yes, Khrahmalkov's seminars, I remember them well - I don't remember what we decided on that word tho. Here's what I've gleaned from the...
Liz, [Ushsharna] Following logic of the formulation in the use of the word in documents of sale, the realia which stand behind the word should have sense of...

Dear Hayim, You may be right. 1st Esdras translates it as 'all the other things,' which I thought signified that the translator didn't know the meaning, but...
Words like this one can best be looked up in specialized dictionaries. The Elephantine material is covered in J. Hoftijzer and K. Jongeling, Dictionary of the...
Well, I thought about it for a while myself, and that is my opinion now: In 2:4-5 the magicians are still self-confident because they were used to tell the...
I think you may be right. At least yours are logical arguments. However did you notice a similar pattern in BA, or at least another example with the changed...

Nothin in BA, and so far I only know one example of a similar pattern in Imperial Aramaic: The Assur-ostracon /letter (AssOstr), line 12: HCDH HNY MLY' 'LH ...

You might want to look at the Madrid edition. Rather than a critical edition, it represents individual manuscripts (usually multiple mss on facing pages). I...
Now, I know that this is a controversial topic, but I do find it appropriate for Father's Day. The question is: "Within the context of Jesus of Nazereth, does...
Steve, As far as I remember, this topic was discussed on this forum some time ago. Probably you will find it by searching the archives for "abba". Regards, ...
"mama" isn't a "perturbation" of "mother" (nor is "perturbation" a technical term in linguistics). It's a "nursery word" (or, if you want the technical term in...
