Joe ... Something we've been through many times on this list. The terminal -ym of nhrym may be a plural, such that `rm-nhrym would mean 'Aram of the rivers',...

AJ I agree with you, Abira or Abrah is the singular name, maybe of a race of beings, like Eloh-im. I think is more plural than "majesty" as king Solomon stated...
AJ You are right, we don't have any evidence of the "im" as "majesty" altough it's stated that King Solomon (supposedly) stated that, maybe it was added later...
Hi Ady, actually we do have some evidence from outside the Bible of a plural form being used of a single god, and with singular verbs etc. I agree this is not...

I suspect "tavek" only means "within". Translating it as "midst" is just another example of using old English "thee", "thou", "whence" and "whither". Terms...
