I am saddened to announce the passing yesterday of my teacher Prof. Anson Rainey, one of the great scholars of Semitic languages, biblical and ancient near eastern history and historical geography and archaeology, after a short struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old at his death. For a full cv please go to the website of Tel-Aviv University, http://www.tau.ac.il/humanities/archaeology/directory/dir_anson_rainey.html. Anson's funeral will be held at the Barkan cemetery today at noon.
May his memory be blessed.
