Dissect English
quote:
But my Hebrew Bible is not written in English.
My understanding is that he's asking you to dissect an English sentence the way you are dissecting the Hebrew one. You would be using a dictionary to tell you the meaning and usage of a word without taking into account the surrounding words and how the word is used in the sentence.

The same issue I had with Peg and yom.
