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)

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.

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,

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,

Psalm 22 applied to Estherrakovsky wrote:Thanks for checking it out.iskander wrote:Commentary on 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.
Talmud - Mas. Megilah 15b
...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...
Psalms (and everything else) is applied to any suitable situation without any restriction whatsoever; the psalm intended meaning is the meaning given to it for that occasion.
When the story of Esther was written Psalm 22 was applied to her. When the Gospel was written Palm 22 was applied to him. It is a legitimate application in both cases.
So, who is lion?
Answer, lion is Esther, lion is Jesus,

I don't think anything violent happened to the writer of Psalm 22. I think he compares himself to a lion that is surrounded by dogs.
"Because dogs have surrounded me, a company of evildoers has surrounded me like a lion, my hands and my feet I will count, all of my bones they will see." Instead of saying he will count his bones like the usual translations, I think he says he will count his hands and feet.
I think he is poetically saying that he is no longer like a worm as he said earlier. Since a worm does not have hands, feet, or bones, poetically he could be comparing himself to a lion and saying he is not a worm anymore because he now has hands, feet, and bones. There are many more details at the other posting that I linked to or you could look at my full explanation at my site http://www.hebrewbiblequotes.com/
where I have a chapter on Psalm 22 in volume 4 of my free self-published PDF books. I guess I should explain that I am what most people would call a "crackpot", but I prefer to call myself a "Hebrew Bible crackpot." Enjoy.
