Ophir, according to the Hebrew-Lexicon Concordance is also a region where gold is mined. Intriguingly, two of Joktan the Elder's sons are named Havilah and Ophir. It makes me wonder if Ophir and Havilah are referring to the same place, or a place that's adjacent to one another.<br /><br />Two of Kush's great-grandsons are named Sheba and Dedan. And consequently, two of the sons by Abraham's son by Keturah, are also named Sheba and Dedan. Does this fit into the cousin-wife naming prerogative? I find it interesting why there is so many repeated names early on... for instance there are three people named Sheba, and another person named Seba, which is quite similar.<br /><br />-TimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140933702909323100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-55897028442524349712014-05-05T15:49:43.348-07:002014-05-05T15:49:43.348-07:00If that is the case, what extant language would we...If that is the case, what extant language would we find with a parallel?

In the proto-Saharan languages p is replaced by b so Hapiru also appears as Habiru. Habiru is rendered as "Hebrew" in English Bibles"<br /><br />My rendering differs from Clyde Winters. Mb (as a single letter) preceded B, P and M which diverged later. So Hambiru preceded both Habiru and Hapiru. Hambiru probably diverged into Ham, Shem(Xyam) and Temple/steepleDDedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033851770461086341noreply@blogger.com
