It was narrated from `Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah said: “Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah (SWT).” (Hasan) (SOURCE)
No retaliation against parents for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring
Who is Subject to Retaliation for Injurious Crimeso1.1 – Retaliation
Retaliation is obligatory (A: if the person entitled wishes to take it (dis: o3.8)) against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right. (O: Intentionally is a first restriction and excludes killing someone through an honest mistake, while purely excludes a mistake made in a deliberate injury (def: o2.3), and without right excludes cases of justifiable homicide such as lawful retaliation.)
o1.2 The following are not subject to retaliation:
-1- a child or insane person, under any circumstances
-2- a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim;
-3- a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam (O: because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences);
-4- A father or mother (or their fathers of mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring;
FREEDOM OF SPEECH DOESN’T EXTEND TO TAKING AWAY THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OF OTHER PEOPLE!!! YOU DON’T GET TO ATTACK PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE FOR WHAT THEY THINK AND SAY!!! THIS IS BARACK OBAMA’S AMERICA HATING FAULT!!! HE IS A TYRANT, HE IS TRYING TO EMPOWER THE MOOSLEM UNITED NATIONS, HE WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD, THIS IS NOT OKAY.
Sharia Law is incompatible with American beliefs, & for that reason Islam should not be treated like other religions. The American people have the right to rewrite the Constitution.
“The people made the Constitution, and the people can unmake it. It is the creature of their own will, and lives only by their will.” John Marshall
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” Patrick Henry
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God (it will become obvious from the Declaration of independence that Allah is not synonymous or compatible with the God of Reason worshipped to by the Deistic Founding Fathers) entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, (but all Ideologies, Philosophies, & Religions are not Islam is not JUST a religion it is also a totalitarian, dictatorial, Theocratic government based on the practices of a War Cult) that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (Unless those rights are used to infringe on the rights of others). — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, (Those that are currently American Citizens, this doesn’t mean that a sitting president can flood the borders with people who don’t think like those who are CURRENTLY AMERICAN CITIZENS) — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (I’m glaring at you Hussein Obama…), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness (Ultimate authority lies with the American Citizens & we are not happy and we don’t feel safe! Your job is to do our will, not to tell us how we are supposed to be, you are not our father, and you are not our judge, you arrogant, narcissistic, P.O.S.). Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes (like executive actions based on the self appointed Moral Authority of a Secret Muslim who hates America & Capitalism); and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. (Vetoing laws congress passes that allow you to cross borders in your pursuit of ISIS, excessive use of Veto power, & Executive Action, writing laws & passing them yourself, violating the separation of powers that protect us from tyranny.)
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. (Your illegal use of Sanctuary Cities and placing Syrian Immigrants in the states without notifying the states until popular opinion demanded it of you. Your Preaching to the American people while they continuously voice their concern and disagreement while you force your Authority upon us.)
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. (But that is exactly what you have done with the Congress isn’t it? You asked them for the right to make agreements with Muslim countries, and Terrorist organizations in private without the knowledge of the Congress or the need for their approval. That Liberty Tree is getting hungry, I can hear it, it’s all, FEED ME SEYMORE!!! 3:}))
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. (You know you did it, you just reworded it so it sounded pleasant and threatened people that if they told anybody there would be consequences, didn’t you?)
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. (But, Hussein, did you not foment convulsions through the agency of the freemasons, and your Illuminati buddies in the Music Industry? Through, rabble rousers such as Al Sharpton who you had under your thumb on account of you have an agreement with him that if he does your bidding you will pay off his back taxes? I know that you also have Louis Farrakhan and the NOI invading the once proud Freemason Society and that once they gained a foothold they brought in the Muslim Brotherhood. I know that you have Muslim Brotherhood spies in our espionage units and Intelligence Agencies. I know that right now there are mosques in this country that are preaching Jihad, and stockpiling weapons for your “Night of the Long Knives” as it were. You know and I know that the Syrian Immigration is actually a Hijra. You never really stopped being a Community Organizer did you? You are participating with if not responsible for the manufactured offense not only of the BLM movement but the mock outrage on the College Campuses.)
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. (You have left Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds to be the victims of genocide, rape, and slavery while you gave Muslims preference over any other group or nationality as refugees and immigrants to the United States in order to permanently alter the demographics and persuasion of the united states.)
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. (You used the Department of Justice and CAIR to rob the state courts of money through vexatious litigations a common tactic of Muslims as they slowly crush the will of Western Civilizations in order to bankrupt the state and institute Sharia Law.)
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. (Didn’t your little puppet Al Sharpton ask you to bring in the Military into New York and usurp the authority of the State Police? What more tricks do you have up your sleeve for us? Didn’t you slander the state police as an “Occupying Force”?)
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. (Well, not yet, you are just trying to make the Military less Christian, aren’t you, because they would have the morality to reject certain things they might be asked to do, isn’t that right? Like killing their own people? That is why you want to give preference to Non-Christians in the Armed Forces, Huh? Do you have some elite United Nations Forces stashed somewhere?)
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: (Now this is interesting because of that Bowe Bergdahl thing, you have the trial dragging ass so that people won’t find out he was a Muslim sympathizing deserter. Do you like him because he is guilty of treason like yourself? If you have your way and you get your sharia tribunals then violent Muslim criminals will be shown leniency because of their creepy religion. You have essentially already done this by allowing Mexican criminals to return over and over again to terrorize United States Citizens. Maybe we just can’t understand, maybe we are too stupid, or maybe you are a nutless coward.)
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: (What was it you said? Obamacare wasn’t a tax? Stupidity of the American voter? Something like that?)
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: (yep, that was your slogan right? Change we can believe in? or some such horse shit?)
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. (That is exactly what BLM did. But you were interested in destroying the means of Capitalism and we both know you haven’t created the jobs you said you were going to create. The jobs that were created are for much less. You have prevented us from finding gainful employment.)
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. (Either you are responsible for ISIS because you are complicit with them or because of your negligence & cowardice, you must have known of the relationship between them and Turkey and yet you did nothing. You didn’t attack their oil, many of the weapons they have now are because of you supporting the resistance of Assad in Syria. Now you are trying to invite them into our country.)
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. (Our friends no longer fear us and you have emboldened our enemies. Your stupid, feckless administration leaked intel on Israel’s nuclear weapons while you abandoned them and helped Iran get nuclear weapons while they shouted “Death to America” and are currently thumbing their noses at you by breaking your weak and puny agreement.)
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion [Islam] too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?
I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mohammed, but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime, you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an age for the feeding bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A n***** with his taboos is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in transubstantiation.
Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! -then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.
The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. A slow death has something comforting about it. The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science… The instructions of a hygienic nature that most religions gave, contributed to the foundation of organized communities. The precepts ordering people to wash, to avoid certain drinks, to fast at appointed dates, to take exercise, to rise with the sun, to climb to the top of the minaret — all these were obligations invented by intelligent people. The exhortation to fight courageously is also self-explanatory. Observe, by the way, that, as a corollary, the Moslem was promised a paradise peopled with sensual girls, where wine flowed in streams — a real earthly paradise. The Christians, on the other hand, declare themselves satisfied if after their death they are allowed to sing hallelujahs! …Christianity, of course, has reached the peak of absurdity in this respect. And that’s why one day its structure will collapse. Science has already impregnated humanity. Consequently, the more Christianity clings to its dogmas, the quicker it will decline.!
A huge help in putting together my theories was the work of Okko Behrends. What I do is I look for the movement of ideas, words, philosophies, processes, practices (praxis) from one culture to another over time. These create rhetorical tautologies or identical patterns. Some cultures adopt and keep those patterns because of an affinity and others do not.
Frankly I think that the Augur’s of Pre-Greek Minoan cult were originally from India and in India I believe they were called the Aghori.
The Aghori are known to engage in post-mortem rituals. They often dwell in charnel grounds, have been witnessed smearing cremationashes on their bodies, and have been known to use bones from human corpses for crafting skull bowls (which Shiva and other Hindu deities are often iconically depicted holding or using) and jewelry. Due to their practices that are contradictory to orthodox Hinduism, they are generally opposed.[3][4]
Many Aghori gurus command great reverence from rural populations as they are supposed to possess healing powers gained through their intensely eremitic rites and practices of renunciation and tápasya. They are also known to meditate and perform worship in haunted houses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aghori
8 minutes in Behrend’s defines Auctoritatus as a form of authority not based on force but based on reason, what I refer to as Sapiential Authority.
In ancient Rome, Auctoritas referred to the general level of prestige a person had in Roman society, and, as a consequence, his clout, influence, and ability to rally support around his will. Auctoritas was not merely political, however; it had a numinous content and symbolized the mysterious “power of command” of heroic Roman figures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auctoritas#Auctoritas_principis
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. Matthew 7
44 minutes okko quotes cicero
Auctoritas is determined by it’s good results and it’s success and by the merit of reason. The High priest of the Augure’s didn’t create the law, he didn’t manufacture it, he expounded the law that already existed in the universe the Law that governed success. They were readers of omens, signs, and portents.
The augur was a priest and official in the classical world, especially ancient Rome and Etruria. His main role was the practice of augury, interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of birds: whether they are flying in groups or alone, what noises they make as they fly, direction of flight and what kind of birds they are. This was known as “taking the auspices.” The ceremony and function of the augur was central to any major undertaking in Roman society—public or private—including matters of war, commerce, and religion.
The Roman historian Livy stresses the importance of the augurs: “Who does not know that this city was founded only after taking the auspices, that everything in war and in peace, at home and abroad, was done only after taking the auspices?”[1]
It was also antithetical to tyranny. At 14 minutes tyranny = kingship. The Augur, much like the president is supposed to be, (I am glaring at you Obama) is not above the law, they are also under the law. This isn’t from Okko Behrends, but notice how to Remus was not chosen as the first king of Rome because he lived on Aventine hill which was full of “inauspicious birds”. The reason the birds were present was because Aventine hill was used for the disposal of garbage and dead bodies, remember if you will that the Aghori also live in grave yards.
Roman augurs were part of a collegium of priests who shared the duties and responsibilities of the position. At the foundation of the Republic in 510 BC, the patricians held sole claim to this office.
Augury sought the divine will regarding any proposed course of action which might affect Rome’s pax, fortuna and salus (peace, good fortune and wellbeing).[2] Political, military and civil actions were sanctioned by augury, historically performed by priests of the college of augurs and by haruspices on behalf of senior magistrates.
According to Cicero, the auctoritas of ius augurum included the right to adjourn and overturn the process of law: consular election could be – and was – rendered invalid by inaugural error. For Cicero, this made the augur the most powerful authority in the Republic.
In ancient Rome the auguria were considered to be in equilibrium with the sacra (“sacred things” or “rites”) and were not the only way by which the gods made their will known. The augures publici (public augurs) concerned themselves only with matters related to the state.
The jus augurale (augural law) was rigorously secret, therefore very little about the technical aspects of ceremonies and rituals has been recorded. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augur
If you examine the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra you will find that the deep intimate conversation between Shiva and Shakti about the nature of reality becomes the basis of philosophical and scientific reasoning. It became the Sohbet of Rumi and Shams and before that it was the intimate conversations that Jesus had with his disciples and before that it was the discussion of the Rabbi’s discussing Torah, or the law of the universe among themselves.
This became the Parrhesia of the ancient Greeks:
Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, applying logic, establishing and verifying facts, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, andbeliefs based on new or existing information.[1] It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art, and is normally considered[by whom?] to be a definitive characteristic of human nature.[2] The concept of reason is sometimes referred to as rationality and sometimes as discursive reason, in opposition to intuitive reason.[3]
The field of logic studies ways in which human beings reason through argument.[6]
The original Greek term was “λόγος”logos, the root of the modern English word “logic” but also a word which could mean for example “speech” or “explanation” or an “account” (of money handled).[7]
As a philosophical term logos was translated in its non-linguistic senses in Latin as ratio. This was originally not just a translation used for philosophy, but was also commonly a translation for logos in the sense of an account of money.[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason
In rhetoric, parrhesia is a figure of speech described as: to speak candidly or to ask forgiveness for so speaking.[1] There are three different forms of parrhesia. Parrhesia is its nominal form, is translated from Latin to English meaning “free speech”. Parrhesiazomai in its verbal form is to use parrhesia, and parrhesiastes is the one who uses parrhesia for example “one who speaks the truth”. [2] The term parrhesia first appears in Greek literature in Euripides and can be found and used in ancient Greek texts all throughout the end of the fourth century and during fifth century A.D. [3] The term is borrowed from the Greek παρρησία (πᾶν “all” and ῥῆσις “utterance, speech”) meaning literally “to speak everything” and by extension “to speak freely,” “to speak boldly,” or “boldness.” It implies not only freedom of speech, but the obligation to speak the truth for the common good, even at personal risk.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrhesia
and that became the sciences, the logy’s, or the logic of, teleology, biology, psychology, ecology, geology, etc. Each logy would have a guru or teacher that specialized in that subject. The entire western civilization evolved out of this process as well as the Western brain and the way western people think in general. Our separation of powers, our checks and balances in the government, our sense of propriety, all of them came from the same place.
27 minutes: The name Augustus was chosen by Octavian chose the name Augustus the name of the High Priest of the Augure’s instead of the name Romulus the first king of Rome, he chose between the two names.
‘In my sixth and seventh consulships [28-27 BC], after I had extinguished civil wars, and at a time when with universal consent I was in complete control of affairs, I transferred the republic from my power to the dominion of the senate and people of Rome…After this time I excelled all in influence [auctoritas], although I possessed no more official power [potestas] than others who were my colleagues in the several magistracies.’ (Res Gestae Divi Augusti 34.1-3)[[1]]
46 minutes, the separation of powers, the leader can assume command of the military upon leaving the polis, but upon entering the polis must relinquish control of the millitary, (a legitimate leader must never use the military against his people).
Compare that with what President Obama recently did, is he giving power back to the people of the united states? Is he more like Augustus or Julius Caesar?
In the exact sense, a tyrant is an individual who arrogates to himself the royal authority without having a right to it. This is how the Greeks understood the word ‘tyrant’: they applied it indifferently to good and bad princes whose authority was not legitimate. [Rousseau, “The Social Contract”] http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tyrant
In a commentary of Oedipus I once read the author argued that Oedipus Rex should rightly have been called Oedipus Tyrannous because the original term didn’t have a negative meaning, it just meant popular ruler, Julius Caesar was very popular, he also was a usurper of the law.
PREEMPTIVE ARGUMENTS FOR THE HATERS
You are about to use the moving the goal fallacy with yourself as the goal and we are going to have an argument of infinite regress where you refuse to believe what I have just told you no matter how often I support it with facts. You are not a linguisitic philosopher, an analytical philosopher or a philologist, I am. Moreover, I am correct.
The Symbols above is known as the hamsa, it originated in India and was associated with the Jains, who were the Janis mentioned in the story of Moses. The name comes from the Hindu concept of Harmlessness known as Ahimsa, notice the similar phonology?
Ahimsa (Sanskrit: अहिंसा; IAST: ahiṃsā, Pāli:[1]avihiṃsā) is a term meaning ‘not to injure’. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hiṃs – to strike; hiṃsā is injury or harm, a-hiṃsā is the opposite of this, i.e. cause no injury, do no harm.[2][3] Ahimsa is also referred to as nonviolence, and it applies to all living beings – including all animals – according to many Indian religions.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahimsa
The word itself derives from So Ham the inbreaths and outbreaths of Brahma if you are familiar with my work you know that I believe that Abraham and Brahma are one and the same, I am not the first or the only person who believes this.
When it applies to a person’s name, according to Vedic philosophy it means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality. Some say that when a child is born it cries Koham-Koham which means Who am I? That is when the universe replies back Soham. You are the same as I am. It also stems from the Sanskrit word which means, “self pride.”
“May [God] bless the lads, and let them carry my name, along with the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. May they increase like fish in the land.” (Gen. 48:16)
The Talmud (Berachot 55b) explains that Joseph shared a special quality with fish:
“The fish in the waters are concealed by the water, and thus not susceptible to the Evil Eye. So too, the descendants of Joseph are not susceptible to the Evil Eye.” http://ravkooktorah.org/VAYEHI59.htm
Kabbalists such as myself know that “water” is a metaphor for Torah which is synonymous with the law of the Universe that is studied by rabbis, and augurs, and expounded. Fish live in the water, so this zen like koan, which is so paradoxical is saying that the philosophers, the rational people need to be increased. It is these philosophers who are protected from the evil eye.
The nounkohen is used in the Torah to refer to priests, both Jewish and non-Jewish, such as the Jewish nation as a whole,[1] as well as the priests (Hebrewkohanim) of Baal (2 Kings 10:19).
The Hebrew noun kohen is most often translated as “priest”, whether Jewish or pagan, such as the priests of Baal or Dagon, though Christian priests are referred to in Hebrew by the term komer (Hebrew כומר). The word derives from a Semitic root common, at minimum, to the Central Semitic languages; the cognateArabic wordكاهنkāhin means “soothsayer, augur, or priest“.
