Are you working from the King James Bible? Do you realize that "meat"
there means "food" in general, and not "animal flesh"? Just thought it
might make a difference....

Yes, I had an inkling of that when I read
in the gospels according to Mark, Matthew
and Luke and saw that Jesus sat at meat,
and in John, where Jesus, resurrected,
speaks of fish as meat. But then, he drives
oxen, sheep and doves out of the temple,
and he makes the connection of meat and
flesh, and of blood and wine, of the physical
world and spiritual world. Anyway, I will have
to study the Aramaic version of the crucial
lines, and as I said, this piece of work will
take me a long time, and lucky circumstances,
as always. Often it happens that exactly what
I need comes my way, but I can't rely on this
'gift from above'. Anyway, thanks for the hint.
