I will be glad to learn yet some more of G-d's holy Torah, and do thank you for providing the opportunity. When I have thoroughly examined all your citations, I'll be in a better position to interpret them properly. In the meantime, can you give me *your* views on Ex. 19:6, "And you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation"? I know of no one who claims that the entire Jewish people are priests in the "levitical" sense. To Jews, therefore, the verse refers to those who serve G-d from near, rather than literal "priests." > >With brotherly love, > > Frank Yaakov K. -------- Yaakov Kayman (212) 903-3666 City University of New York BITNET: YZKCU@CUNYVM "Lucky is the shepherd, and lucky his flock Internet: YZKCU@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU about whom the wolves complain"
