Sarcastic comments (see above in Hebrew - so that the asker wouldn't understand, perhaps?) about me being 'wrong again (just for a change' and 'learning a bit about Jewish lore' don't change the fact that as far as current Hebrew usage is concerned, I am right.

disagree  Eynati: This says .. my life is a victim. You're wrong, jes' like last time. We aren't concerned with how the term was used then, but how it's used today. The Temple no longer stands (last time I checked), and I'm au fait with Jewish lore, thanks all the same.
