I don't have a Hebrew Bible nearby so I can't check "the original", but my guess would be that it has "upharsin" - the "u" bit introduces future tense and p->ph is required in this case by Hebrew phonetical rules (it's actually the same Hebrew letter). That's an odd thing to write about in freebsd-chat, too ;) -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
