What I learned from tonights meeting

I learned the hebrew word for lid. I felt it was really worth the time to go there (or not)

Heh. That's a classic example of how the JWs give an impression of being erudite. "Ooh, look how we know a Hebrew word, that makes us regular scholars!" Some of the Witnesses in the audience probably were thinking about how wonderful it is to have the Society imparting such wisdom to us. "People in the world don't know this stuff, they're ignorant of their Bibles." Meanwhile the entire modern world of Bible scholarship passes them by.

Maybe next time you'll learn how to say "jackasses" in Greek.

Can you say, "This is sofa king stew pit!" in either Hebrew or Greek?

Lid - isn't that a term that refers to a measurement of dope? You never know when you might need to know how to say it in Hebrew. "Let's go score a lid." Very useful!

As in "Put a lid on it, Peter"?

*** it-2 p. 733 Ransom ***

The noun ko ′ pher refers to the thing given to accomplish this, the ransom price. (Ps 65:3; 78:38; 79:8, 9) A covering corresponds to the thing it covers, either in its form (as in a material lid, such as the “cover [kap·po ′ reth ]” of the ark of the covenant; Ex 25:17-22), or in its value (as in a payment to cover the damages caused by an injury).
