Shlama Akhay,
There is a word play here. (See also Ab. Valentin's post on this passage under the "Polysemy-Split Word" forum, with this response)
Luke 7:41-42
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0bwx 0rm dxl wwh ty0 0byx Nyrt[/font]
There were two debtors to a certain creditor
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]00m4mx 0rnyd 0wh Byx dx[/font]
One owed him 500 dinarii
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Ny4mx 0rnyd 0nrx0w [/font]
And the other, 50 dinarii
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Qb4 Jwhyrtl (rpml Jwhl 0wh tyldw[/font]
And because they had nothing with which to repay, he forgave them both
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Yhwybxn ryty Jwhnm Lykh 0ny0[/font]
Which of them, therefore, will love (hint: owe) him most?
Translation doesn't do justice.
Looooove it! <!-- s:inlove: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/inlove.gif" alt=":inlove:" title="In Love" /><!-- s:inlove: -->
Shlama w'taybutha!
