Highlighted the bit you liked eh?
Coming from Burgundy, they wouldn't be Flemish according to the current borders now. But then Burgundy was probably part of the Flemish region. Interesting indeed. If I interpret correctly it was the Gitanos that lay at the base of the Flamenco art form who only took the name Flamenco to evade their own bad name. So basically .... it wasn't even the Flemish. LOL! I'm sorry, I just find this sort of historical twists highly amusing in a sort of ironic way.

The beginning of Genesis in English:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." And here it is in Swedish: " begynnelsen skapade Gud himmel och jord. Och jorden var öde och tom, och mörker var över djupet, och Guds Ande svävade över Vattnet. Och Gud sade: Varde ljus; och det vart ljus." Anyone knows these lines in another language?

If you want it - then here it is: "Bereshit bara elohim et ha'shamaim ve'et ha'arez. Ve'ha'arez haita tohu va'vohu ve'hosheh al pnei tehom. Ve'ruah elohim merahefet al pnei ha'maim. Va'yomer elohim yehi or va'yehi or." The bible is not written like nowdays hebrew. The hebrew did change since the time of the bible. There are placves where readers are not sure of the definition of words. But most words here are still used, just not much, and not in this text. |

Oh, I heard some psalms in Hebrew this morning. I like the way some Jewish psalms are sung by the Rabbi

Yes, as long as you don't need to sing them yourself. It's quite embarrassing, singing this way to a lots of people out loud. (in bar miztva. I'm quite proud for doing it, and I'm not going to do it again. ) When did you hear it? And where? |

Yeah, I was at a Bar Mitzva once - I was thinking I would never dare to sing like that in front of all those people
