From DCH's description it seems like someone was practicing. You can't throw away stuff with Hebrew on it so it probably wound up in a Geniza as DCH suggests. As DCH confirms it's probably pages from a Torah, a Tikkun could be consulted to see if there is spacing in reasonable places. The speed of R...

Semiopen: For the love of Zeus don't go by what Wikipedia says. :) I used wiki to show the date issues that your post didn't address, and believe I did a good job of noting that I was confused. It turns out that the wikis note that there are various debatable issues between Ezra, First Esdras, and ...

Anyone tying to tie in Daniel with Ezra should be looking at 1 Esdras instead. Hebrew Ezra didn't exist yet when Daniel was written.

This was enough to scare me off, but it was unlikely that I would have been able to read them anyway. I noticed that the rar file had jpgs. Maybe a single jp...

It's easiest for me to go by a few general rules. Jewish translations are always better than Christian ones. This is probably the result of the Christians having Yoshkieitis clouding their judgment. JPS 1985 (TNK) is the best overall English translation - "But you, Daniel, keep the words secret...

http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/world-news/detail/articolo/sindone-shroud-sudario-33948/ What do those here think about the new findings that have come to light? Why would such details as have been found on the Shroud possibly be included were it a Middle Age forgery? I'm open-minded about the...
