I agree with Shane in the fact that the translations have lost meaning over time after being translated and then translated from a translation, etc. So the interpretation is just that, an interpretation.Herzog said:Well... don't take it wrong. I'm looking into this.
So basically your book states that pretty much every race is traced back to either jewish or gentile? What happened before that?
Secondly, I believe that such biblical records are majorly flawed and are based upon relative perception. Therefor, subject to debate and never law, Jewish is a religion and not a race.
Since my knowledge of my last name only stems out to a dozen generations back in Germany (which as we all know wasn't always Germany, as well as we know that other countries were not always as they are), so I find it interesting to see how far back the name actually comes from.
If you have more information that isn't "Christian biased" I'd love to hear about it.
EDIT: oh yeah, and can I get taken off your mail list
