No Problem, Ivan. Thanks a lot for posting the link. The only problem I have with the use of Hebrew in this wikipedia website is how they use Hebrew to find the meaning of names.
We all know that Old Hebrew became extinct as a "spoken" language after Babylonian siege. And the current Hebrew (very different from Old Hebrew) only originated after Bar Kokhba came to rule in 131 AD.
Not only that, Abraham and his family were Arameans who came from Ur. So using Hebrew to find the meaning of names wouldn't make any sense.
