dead in Nigeria) and the presence of the actual spoon had
indeed on all who were present the effect intended by the
Lecturer, which was to make Meribah (‘ place of litigation’)
and Massah (‘place of trial’), together with the ritual
drinking of the Water of Jealousy described in Num. v,
more real and vivid, something strange but true and in
touch with human life.]

GENERAL INDEX

Note.

In this index are included all the Hebrew words, precisely transliterated,
which occur in the text of the Lectures. The English alphabetical order is
followed, but a half-vowel or a Slfwd (indicated in transliteration by a small
letter, raised above the line), occurring in the first syllable of a Hebrew
word, is ignored for purposes of indexing. Thus, H^agSrd follows Hermesh, not
Habhalim, and S^e'or follows SSphir, not Seeds. The value of diacritic points
and rough and smooth breathings is, also, not indicated in the index.
