In Response to Matti 7:6

Shlama Akhay,

Grammatically speaking I think it is clear that we have second person plural imperfect verbs throughout the passage with respect to whom Y'shua is addressing. This is the case with the words for "hang", for "place" and for "break through/wound". So yes, looking just at that, either verb could work.

However, I think Akhan Paul has just hit the most important point. The verb just prior to "qudesha" makes most sense with "qudesha" as a NOUN, and not an adjective. This would then represent a majority "normal" use, but Abudar's points would also go a long way towards explaining how the mistranslation into Greek happened with Zorba not being aware of these nuances.

Now, once "qudesha" is established as NOUN (if in fact it is, which I think so) then it is a pretty straight shot in my view to the conclusion that "earring/earrings" is the better reading than "holy object". I should also point out that according to Tanakh, earrings CAN ALSO BE HOLY OBJECTS, making the reasons for misunderstanding the word even clearer:

20 Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses' presence, 21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to YHWH for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. 22 All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to YHWH.
Exodus 35:20-22

Jewelry into "holy things"--hmmmmmm.

Shlama w'burkate
