Hi Karl, I just skimmed through the translation of Thutmose's annals that appear in Halo's Context of Scripture (vol. II, Brill, 2000) and interestingly enough found no reference there to any number of shields at all. Gold, silver, lapis-lazuri, chariots, coats of mail, bows, prisoners, hands, heads, cows, goats, sheep and so on, but no shields.
Sorry to disappoint.

Is that true? The linguistic reason I ask this, I don’t want to say at the moment, but it is connected with Waltke & O’Connor, my own research and deals with ancient Hebrew pronunciation. Yours, Karl W. Randolph. _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
