Shalom Sean, <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/poketoungeb.gif" alt="" title="Poke Tounge" /><!-- s --> i personally think Lamsa's weird, but in a good way <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: --> i do like his version <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> as to justice in Aramaic, i may not pronounce it properly, but the same spelling in On'kelos of the Chumash renders its root as Ken, meaning righteous, godly, upright, and justice. on another note: i like finding Hebrew and Aramaic words stashed away in other languages, like Sepher/Cipher, Gemara/Grammar, etc. this word, Ken can be found in the Scottish vernacular with a very similar meaning: to be sharp, straight, to perceive rightly, acknowledge, etc etc. anyhoo... just a bit of trivia... <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> Z'ev Yochanan <!-- s:onfire: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/onfire.gif" alt=":onfire:" title="On Fire" /><!-- s:onfire: --> |
