Quote:Stephen,
First of all let me apologise if I have in anyway upset you,
Quote:how do I know?, let me explain, b''khad b'shaba" or d'Had,b'$ab'a` or even D'KHaD,B'SHaB'aA in aramaic is represented as ???????????????????????? which means one into
sabbath which is an idiomatic expression for Sunday. However, notice what is actually written in Aramaic ???????????? ????????????????
Shlama Akhi Claud:
There is no need to apologise. No offense was taken, whatsoever. <!-- s



Whether one says ???????????????????????? or splits it into two words ???????????? ???????????????? it's the same idiomatic expression, "first of the week". I have observed this often between the Khabouris Codex and the Crawford Codex where a word is split into two words. The splitting of the word into two doesn't change the meaning. It's purely dialectic.
In this particular case, the Khabouris Codex reads ???????????? ???????????????? while the Crawford Codex reads ??????????????
Shlama,
Stephen Silver
