My question has to do with a verse of scripture found in
Gen2:14. How does the Hebrew word 'phrt' become 'Euphrates' in
English? First, 'Euphrates is a Greek word, and when I looked it
up in the 9th ed. of LSJ, I did not find one single entry! It is
obvious to me that the ...phr...' in Euphrates is from the Hebrew
'phrt.' But just what 'Euphrates' is suppossed to mean in Greek is
beyond me (or LSJ 9th ed.)
Thanks

Philosophy means the study of wisdom, and by wisdom we understand not only prudence in affairs, but also a perfect knowledge of all things which man can know both for the conduct of his life and for the conservation of his health and
the invention of all the arts."
