Yes. I already looked to the DSS manuscripts to see what it might have, but alas! Proverbs 30 is not extant at this moment. Sad. Targums anyone? Targum Mishlei 30:4 says, "...What is his name? And what is his son's name, if you know?"   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Lance Muir Sent: Thursday, 30 December, 2004 05.09 To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech FYI:'The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible' The oldest known Bible translated for the first time into English.

It is not an oops. I already considered a missing page or a bad print. However, here's how it's laid out:   Bottom of page 817 contains the first portion of Proverbs 29:26. The top of page 818 contains the last portion of Proverbs 29:26. It next contains 29:27 and then the VERY NEXT LINE is 31:10.     ----------------===================----------------     Also, as far as the argument that the LXX might be a better version because Jesus "quotes" the LXX, please understand that the LXX was written by and used by Greek speaking Jews. There is evidence proving Scripture in Hebrew and Aramaic existed during the time of Yeshua. In fact, the New Testament is so full of Hebrew  idioms, it places more validity on a Hebrew-speaking Yeshua than a Greek-speaking Jesus.   Is there a possibility that the LXX translators used a version of the Hebrew Scriptures available to the Gospel writers, Yeshua, the Apostles, and some of the earliest Taanitic rabbis?   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 29 December, 2004 19.10 To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Idioms and Figures of Speech In a message dated 12/29/2004 4:03:47 PM Pacific Standard Time, Knpraise writes: In a message dated 12/29/2004 3:22:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Interesting.
