Thanks for the reference Gene. I found it very useful. I was particularly pleased to see that your source studies the scripture(& certainly I view the Torah as such) in the same manner as I find most fruitful. Meaning, what is not stated in light of what is written, is not to be overlooked or ignored but rather accounted for, with the conclusion being its own lesson. If I did a bad job of explaining, I expect you will understand my intent.-)

Another question: could you shed some light on why, when I was trying to discover the meaning of your Hebrew tagline, that my lexicons spell, e.g., 'darkness' as follows:

choshek, kho-shek' (unfortunately the Hebrew script did not paste properly.)

I'm looking for a means of compensating down the line since my general approach to Hebrew is from an English text that directs me precisely where to look.

thanks again for the instruction, I found it valuable.
