 Dear b-greekers,

 I am sure that Peter Krentz has done a magnificent job; but would it not be
 more likely that the SALPINX in 1 Cor 15:52 would be the Hebrew /ShoPhaR/ or
 ram's horn trumpet, such as was blown at the Battle of Jericho?

 WeShiBh`aH HaKKoHaNiYM NoS'iYM ShiBh`aH ShoWPhRoTh HaYYoWBhLiYM... (Joshua
 6:8 BHS).
