Locust vs. Desert Plant
#8
Paul Younan Wrote:Ok Lars, Nimrod & Stephen, this entry from Smith's dictionary has got me thinking ... How generally available were locusts on any given month in the barren Judean desert where Yukhanan lived? (for that matter, where did he get the honey?) Could a man survive on honey alone for even a week?

If the alternate reading did pan out, what a home-run that would be for A.P. huh?

Shlama Akhi Paul:
Do you know how utterly impossible it is to source the peculiar profundity of swarming locusts in the Judean desert between 15 and 26 A.D.? Moreover, Yukhanan HaMat'bil most likely ate other things besides kosher bugs.

Shlama,
Stephen
