Sh'lama Akhi Paul: Stephen Silver wrote: First, according to the Reuben-Alcalay Hebrew-English Dictionary, "t'hom", means: "depth, deep waters, great floods, great floods, Ocean; abyss, chasm, gulf, bottom of the sea, interior of the earth". I think B'rayshit 1:2, is where Shaul is "aiming", and he's making a "remez", of D'varim 30:13. The "remez" is "hamayim/the sea". He's substituting "sea", with 0mwhtl "and the earth was unformed and void, " v'haaretz hay'tah tohu vavohu and darkness upon the face of (the deep) v'khoshekh al-p'nai (t'hom) and Ruakh Elohim hovered v'Ruakh Elohim m'rakhefet over the face of the waters." al-p'nai hamayim" So, Shaul, in Romans 10:7 was brilliant, to use the Aramaic word, 0mwhtl which shares it's root, with the Hebrew, "t'hom". Moreover, this word is also found, in this form, in Luqa 8:31, and is closely associated with sea. So, we will have to dig deeper, and look with hope and faith, for the same things that Shaul was "alluding to". These things are in the Aramaic Peshitta, and they are "profound". fkrwbw 0ml4 Stephen Silver
