Is everybody busy outside?

It's raining here (but badly needed), so I can't really complain. I've
started some tomato plants which I will set outside in approximately 3
weeks, and have planted two rows of peas.

I have golf on TV (love it), and will likely spend the evening knitting on
socks and a shawl.

What's happening with the rest of the RCTY world???

Well, I am studying Biblical Greek. I spend 2.5 hours a day in class,
and
another 3 - 6 hours doing homework and studying. I am not knitting
very
much at all. :-(

peopl;e are leaving for some days to rest ... Hamas wants to hide the
fact they are sleying their own brothers ,,, it is terrible for all
Civilians,,,,
and still NO sign of our boys .

Mirjam,
From what I understand, Biblical Greek is quite different from modern
Greek. The Christian Bible was written in Greek, and they believe
that we need to be able to read it in the original in order to
understand
it properly.
Also, if I wanted to study further, I would have to learn Hebrew to
read
the Hebrew Bible. I don't think that I will do that, although a friend
of
mine is doing it this year.

I am praying for them, Mirjam, and also for the leaders, so that they
will decide to end this stupid "war". (I put it in quotation marks,
because many people are not calling it a war now.)

Katherine , in Gaza there is a civil war , not only between 2
ideaological groups , but also between Hamoulas [ Enlarged families] ,
And Of course Hammas is representing , and paid by Iranian
fundamentalist government , Both Egypt and us are not glad with the
developments there , but i don`t thnik anyone knows what to do there ,
The leaders of these people have a HISTORY of always preffering
fighting over civilian needs ,,, Every reasonable person in our
areawho hoped that once they have self rule in Gaza , they will build
a beautiful place for themself with all the Monies, they got from
everywhere , is now pulling out hairs ,,,, What they demonstrated is
how a a Fundamentalist party Cannot or doesnot care about civilian
wellfare ...While they keep blaming others, and telling their people
that others are to blame and they keep shooting at our villages to the
point that NO OTHER CIVILIZED COUNTRY would have accepted,,,, Would
your country accept that vilages and towns would be DAILY missiled
over the border ?? for 7 years ..

This is very interesting , Katherine
Yes i heard as well that new Greek is different ,, Hebrew is not so
different than Hebrew from Biblical times is richer in vocubulary ,
but you are also speaking and using verbs and words King David used

Mirjam, the whole thing is a mess, isn't it? I am thinking that
prayers
are the only thing which can help.

A child that learns the Aleph Beth can read texts in the Tanach =Bible
that are over 2000 years old and understand them since they have words
he uses NOW everyday ,,,, that is facinating indeed ,
U have asked around Everybody here reacted with "Biblical Greek ???? "
what`s that ???? and i mean people who are teaching history etc,,,
Hebrew has absorbed some Greek from the Greek merchants who came here
, from the Greek who ruled here , And did you know that the
Phlishtiem were also Greek tribes ? who came here first to robe the
shores , than invaded the shores , hence the word plishtiem =invaders

I think the term I'm familiar with is Classical Greek (as opposed to
the demotic, which is spoken now.)
