S4E4: Vapour, illness, fish and other peculiar names in the Bible (Names in the Bible and Ancient World, part 4)
Episode 29
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
In this episode, Tony chats to James Bejon and Josh Meynell about strange or animal-related names that we find in the Bible. Some of the names in the Bible strike us as having curious meanings. For example, Caleb means ‘dog’, Nun means ‘fish’, and Abel means ‘vapour’. What are we to make of these names? James, Josh, and Tony work through some of these examples and some from the wider ancient Near East to explore how there might be more to the names than we might think at first glance.
