“A homograph is a word that is spelled the same way. You have two words spelled exactly the same way, but they have entirely different meanings. They may or may not be pronounced the same way.” (source)
“This is textual proof that ʿalmâ can indeed refer to a sexual virgin.” (source)
“It’s not legitimate to look at that list and just pick one that you think is cool, that you like, or that works well with an interpretation that you’re angling for. That’s the problem of basic lexicons. They just give you lists of glosses, and words can just mean lots of things. Words only really have genuine meaning when understood in context. We have to understand the word’s usage in context, and again, there are lots of different contexts too.” (source)
“The cultural setting is going to matter—that’s another way of saying the worldview.” (source)
“Transliteration is the use of English characters—I like to say English keyboard characters, English equivalents that you’d find on a keyboard—for Hebrew characters.” (source)
