65 is not so old these days. Thanks for the corrector. He was part of the DSS landscape.Nathan wrote:Sadly, Peter Flint passed away this past November.spin wrote:Flint who is at the top of the game will naturally be aware of it all.
The same Ada Yardeni that testified in Israeli court that the 'James Ossuary' inscription is entirely ancient and that if the item was found to be a forgery, she would leave her profession?If you're interested at all in the subject, Ada Yardeni did a great book on the alphabet (The Book of Hebrew Script) specifically to teach people how each letter was written (also deals with palaeography)
Various scholars held similar views. The view is irrelevant to the significance of the text.TedM wrote:The same Ada Yardeni that testified in Israeli court that the 'James Ossuary' inscription is entirely ancient and that if the item was found to be a forgery, she would leave her profession?If you're interested at all in the subject, Ada Yardeni did a great book on the alphabet (The Book of Hebrew Script) specifically to teach people how each letter was written (also deals with palaeography)
Thanks. One would need a lot more to understand exactly what the issues are. Flint had access to vellum, which most scholars didn't have.kennethgreifer wrote:Spin,
This is why Flint is supposedly discredited. I googled "Peter Flint psalm 22" and this article showed up. http://www.errancywiki.com/index.php?title=Psalms_22:16
Prohibited Arguments
1) Prohibited Argument = Peter Flint's reading of NH 22:17 should be given the evidential weight of a conclusion by a Public authority.
Reason for Prohibition = Peter Flint previously publicly claimed a certain reading for the same word at XHev/Se4 Fragment 11 even though it's generally agreed that almost all of the word is invisible. Flint's professional credibility is therefore impeached regarding this type of conclusion.
Flint's credentials and related reasons for conclusions may be presented but since his credibility has been impeached speculation regarding the motivation for his lack of objectivity will be permitted.

I'm pretty happy with my understanding that nothing violent against the narrator actually happened. This psalm naturally segues into Ps 23. That nothing is allowed to happen to the narrator of Ps 22 is significant in understanding the relationship between the two psalms. We don't get "ooh, look the narrator's getting ripped apart... the Lord is my shepherd."kennethgreifer wrote:spin,
Maybe you could look at my ideas about Psalm 22.

15-19The Jewish Study BibleA graphical description of a mortal illness . The psalmist feels his body stop working and disintegrate. He sees himself die, his body so dried up that it turns to dust. The scorners are like dogs hunting prey. They gloat at his death and are eager to take his possessions
I'd be interested to see Maimonides' take or the Talmud's.
...And stood in the inner court of the king's house.13 R. Levi said: When she reached the chamber of the idols, the Divine Presence left her. She said, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me.14 Dost thou perchance punish the inadvertent offence15 like the presumptuous one, or one done under compulsion like one done willingly? Or is it because I called him ‘dog’, as it says. Deliver my soul from the sword, mine only one from the power of the dog?16 She straightway retracted and called him lion, as it says. Save me from the lion's mouth.17
And it was so when the king saw Esther the queen.18 R. Johanan...
