Ephesians 3:9 - BSWA2 part 6 - is this a split word?

[Larry Kelsey]

Hi, does anyone of you Aramaic dudes know if "mdbrnw" can mean fellowship also? If so, Larry has another split word. <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->

Shlama Akhi Chris,

Unfortunately, I don't think we have a split word here. 'Medbranotha' has more to do with 'stewardship' and 'leadership' as opposed to 'fellowship'. The thing to consider here is a look-alike Greek word possibly. After all, 'oikonomia' (administration, "economy") sounds somewhat like 'koinonia' (fellowship) but maybe there's another answer as to why Zorba chose 'koinonia' as opposed to 'oikonomia'.
