Camel or Rope? Matt: 19:24
#19
Shlama Akhi Stephen,

That is not a junk list. Most are entries from Jastrow's Targum Lexicon and a couple from Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon, along with Smith's Compendious Syriac Dictionary.

You should have a look at those sources before you utter your pontifications about the meaning of a word.
As usual, you are "finished with this thread" because you cannot deal with the facts of the matter. I will take that as a concession of the point that [font="estrangelo (v1.1)"]0lmg[/font] cannot mean whatever you want it to mean; certainly not every meaning in the book.

Quote:Also, I was obviously only referring to the acceptable Lexicon meanings of "camel, which could be a dromedary" and "beam" in the only places in the Peshitta New Testament where they are used, namely, Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25 and Luke 18:25.

Wrong again, Stephen. Here are all the places where [font="estrangelo (v1.1)"]0lmg[/font] occurs:

arbd asbdw aumq htlwkamw yhwux le aksmd aux roaw almgd areod hswbl awh yhwtya Nnxwy Nyd wh Mt 3:4
Mt 3:4 And as to this John, his raiment was of camel???s hair, and a girdle of skin was upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

ahlad atwklml lwend aryte wa ajxmd arwrxb leml almgl wh lyldd Nwkl anrma Nyd bwtMt 19:24
Mt 19:24 And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God

almg Nyelbw aqb Nyllumd aymo adwgn Mt 23:24
Mt 23:24 Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.

arbd asbdw aumq twh hytya htlwkamw yhwuxb aksmd atqre awh ryoaw almgd areod aswbl awh sybl Nnxwy Nyd wh Mr 1:6
Mr 1:6 And this John was clad in raiment of camels??? hair; and was girded with a cincture of skin about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

leml ahlad htwklml aryte wa ajxmd arwrxb lwend almgl wh qyspMr 10:25
Mr 10:25 It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

ahlad htwklml aryte wa lwen ajxmd arwrxbd almgl yh alyld Lu 18:25
Lu 18:25 It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man the kingdom of God.

Six places, not three; and all of the other 3 occurrences of "gmla" mean "camel", not "beam" or any of the other 18 possible definitions.
Perhaps I misunderstand your above statement, but it certainly sounds like you mean "gmla" only occurs in 3 verses in The Peshitta.

And that is to ignore the grammatical problem of an inanimate "beam" performing any action whatsoever, which is nonsense.

You are strong in the opinion department, but your fact department is not well stocked.

Blessings,

Dave
