If the above statement isn't confirmation from your own fingers that you aren't even reading before proceeding to "respond", then what it is?
I have told you REPEATEDLY that the word does NOT DESIGNATE ANY PARTICULAR PEOPLE.
I think Jar is asking for a direct indication that the Hapiru mentioned in the letters are refering to a unified group, not necisseraly naming the hebrews.
Kinda like saying the Mujahadim. That only means 'Holy Warrior' and there were many factions there in, tho they were working tword a common goal for the most part. He wants to know where in the letters we get a similar implication.
And considering that said expert was alluded to at least a couple times during the course of the last few pages (#24, #77) is ample reason enough for me to identify your (ad lib) accusation as a ruse in itself to ignore your own less than honest treatment of both my words and the data that has been presented.
Just jumping in here Hydarnes. It's getting quite hard to keep all this info in my head at once
. I'm actually interested in this subject and could not find the name of the expert in the previous posts. For my own edification could you do me the favor and name the expert and the work you are refering to?
It would help me out alot. Thanks.
