Endnote 1 – Coarse Language In The Bible?

In medieval liturgical Hebrew S|NH| meant “descend”; modern Israeli Hebrew has added the sense “parachute.” See Avraham Even-Shoshan, Ha-milon Ha-hadaás (Jerusalem: Kiryat Sefer, 1979), vol. 5, p. 2245. But these usages are based on the traditional interpretation of the biblical verses and are therefore not independent evidence.
