Shlama,
i recently noticed this in Matthew 26:74 --
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know that man!" And in that hour the rooster cried out.
the term that caught my eye was the one Keepha used for "man" -- [font="Estrangelo (V1.1)"]0rbg[/font] GAWRA. if i am not mistaken, this term can ALSO be used to mean "rooster," as well. if so, then what we have is Keepha denying any knowledge of Messiah, yet the word he used for "man," also meaning "rooster," would make it sound like he was saying he had no knowledge of the rooster, and then immediately a rooster (TARNAGLA) actually crowed!
what think ye??
i've seen a somewhat similar punning with animals in the Hebrew of 1st Samuel 15:14, when Samuel arrives to find that King Saul has spared Agag and his flocks, and Samuel asks "OOMEH QOL-HATZON HAZEH B'AZ'NA...?" -- "And what is this voice of sheep in my ears?" where the term OOMEH / "and what" sounds very literally like the bleating of a sheep - MEH!!
