Numbers 5:16 says that if a woman is suspected of adultry, she is to drink a mixture of water and dust from the temple: A sure way to get a deadly disease. If God, through some miracle, keeps her from a gruesome death, she is innocent. If not, she dies of bloated thigh and belly - an ugly death. This looks as humanly-inspired as the Salem witch trials or the ancient trials where people were tossed into a lake to see if they were witches. If they swam out, they were a witch because people weren't supposed to be able to swim. If they drowned then they were not witches but who cared? Tell me that there was some justification for feeding an accused woman poison and that this is something that a God would think of. It seems ludicrous.

The name Joshua, "YHWSWA", is transliterated in the LXX as "IHSOU()". What grammatical rule or rules render the (first) 'waw' silent that would cause a phonetic omission in a transliteration? George georgeg_is@yahoo.com
