You are welcome.

Never mind.

Not really. The JPS uses commas instead of hyphens (see NASV). "God made two great lights, the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night, and the stars." If again we remove the parenthetical description (i.e. the middle section) we have: "God made two great...

Misleading! First the text has been also been translated "nail" or "hook." It is certainly not a crucifixion. Second Inanna is already dead when she is placed on the nail, hook, stake. Third, all of this takes pace in the underworld not on the Earth. Cite a primary source. Cite a primary...

I can't change the Hebrew grammar. There is only one verb in that verse and the phrase "and the stars" has a direct object marker making it a direct object of the verb. אֵת I †10898.55.†866.33 object–marker—אֵת, אֶת־ (אֶת [Ps 475 602 Pr 312] אֵת־ [Jb 4126 Est 931(L)]; in Bar–Kochba letters...

The text has to be understood according to the normal rules of Hebrew grammar. The sign of the direct object links it to the verb.

I have no idea what they have in italics. Nevertheless the verb in verse 16 is עשׂה (i.e. made) and the direct objects of the verb are clearly marked. The phrase "and the stars" is a direct object of the verb עשׂה. I don't believe that is correct. Note the hyphens. "God made the two great...

The Hebrew text states God made two lights (i.e. luminaries), one greater than the other, and the stars. The Hebrew noun for "stars" has the direct object marker which means it is the direct object of the same verb (i.e. עשׂה).

I am not sure what the issue is. The phrase Hebrew וְאֵ֖ת הַכּוֹכָבִֽים ("and the stars") comes at the end of the verse 16. וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־שְׁנֵ֥י הַמְּאֹרֹ֖ת הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים אֶת־הַמָּא֤וֹר הַגָּדֹל֙ לְמֶמְשֶׁ֣לֶת הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת־הַמָּא֤וֹר הַקָּטֹן֙ לְמֶמְשֶׁ֣לֶת הַלַּ֔יְלָה וְאֵ֖ת הַכּוֹכָבִֽים

This sentence is especially noteworthy. It is freely admitted another reading is possible in some cases and it is not wise to be dogmatic about which one is correct.

Don't need ancient Hebrew theologians, but at least they knew Hebrew. Nevertheless there are plenty of Christian scholars who know Hebrew and not one agrees with your opinion. I don't take tests from people who twist and distort the Scriptures. Such a person is only out to deceive others.

The Hebrew text does not says that. The text only says that it rained for 40 days and sometime as the water increased the ark was lifted above the land. You see things that are not there. Untrue and the reasons why were made clear here. Secrets in Genesis... The text says nothing about the ark...

The Hebrew Scriptures are the proof and those Scriptures are far from weak.

Again, you have no answer for the Hebrew grammar. That is clear above all else.

No one does. It is also clear you don't know anything about it. There is more to Hebrew than just vocabulary. Therein lies one of your error. The Holy Sprit guided the authors using not only vocabulary but grammar as well. Does not address the grammar of Gen. 7:20 and is therefore moot.

According to the Hebrew text the water was fifteen cubits above the mountains. You have misunderstood an English translation. Never said anything like that. However the fact is if you don't know Hebrew, (as you don't) one should consult those who do, those who are scholars. I follow the Hebrew...

Irrelevant! The Holy Spirit does not teach Hebrew grammar. You opinion of the text is not support by the grammar. However the author wrote using Hebrew grammar guided by the Holy Spirit. Since the Holy Spirit guided the author, the Holy Spirit guided the grammar the author used. Done! You...

:Biggrin Just as soon as you address the Hebrew grammar of Gen. 7:20. Demonstrate your claim concerning Gen. 7:20 from the Hebrew text, the language in which it was originally written. Then show us from the Hebrew text. Cite a Hebrew grammar or scholar who support your opinion. I never said...

The only way to lean the languages of the O.T and N.T. is to study Greek and Hebrew. The Bible is not a grammar. The authors wrote in those languages. And you are a mortal as well. Thus there is no reason to accept your opinion because you are subject to error, have no working knowledge of...
