- I haven't got the time. Since you said you translated yourself your
- version, I suppose that you have the original. I can't see how your
- version is "a heck a lot better" without it.

-
- The word 'mecholal' is the passive participle of 'chalal', meaning
- 'pierced' or 'run through', and it connotates a violent death. At
- least NIV (where I got my quote) and NAS translate it correctly. This
- word also refutes your whole alleged quote, since it makes clear that
- the Messiah suffers _physically_, not mentally, as it appears in your
- version. Or otherwise Rav Vidas didn't know what he was talking about,
- which I doupt.

- Bye, Laura
