It’s Christmas night/Boxing Day wee morning hours. I should go to bed. But the house is quiet, I have very nice bourbon, and there’s a JRPG to play.

Today was the final exam for first-year Greek. And boy did my students PASS.
(As much as I want to say the bottle of Blanton’s is the best part, the card with notes from each student is so touching, special, and perfect ❤️)

In Gen 33:4, when Esau runs to Jacob and kisses him, we have this spectacular verb ("he kissed him") where every letter is dotted. Why? There are a few theories, but the best by far is from Rabbi Yannay in Bereishit Rabbah 78:9: Esau didn't kiss Jacob ... he BIT him! (1/3)

Just noticed that my new book with SBL Press, Discourse Markers in Early Koine Greek, has switched from “forthcoming” to “available!” Very grateful to see the fruit of years of labor and to hold it in my hands!
