[vrach]

I need the the reference and exact words in the Old Testament where Tetanus is described as an illness that kills around 8 days after birth.

Hey; I just got my second 'answer removed' message. I must be turning into an AB undesirable.

I don't know of any verses that mention tetanus specifically. David's infant son died a lingering death. Could you mean that?

[woofgang]

I think you will struggle because the bible, not even new versions, will use the word tetanus

2 Samuel 12:

That’s the baby I was talking about, Chris. I can’t think of anything else that might fit.

I must admit, Atheist, I don't recall seeing anything wrong with your removed answer - ho hum!

Yes thank you Naomi
that is the clue
.

2 Samuel 12 - 15-18
After Nathan had gone home, the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. 16 David pleaded with God for the child. He fasted and spent the nights lying in sackcloth[b] on the ground. 17 .......

18 On the seventh day the child died. David’s attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, “While the child was still living, he wouldn’t listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.”

is said to be the case. - -

Remember the protestant and roman translations have difft names for books 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Samuel = 1-4 Kings

and comes from the habit of rubbing cow pats into the childs umbilicus after birth - altho the Bible has David as a bit of a lad

I welcomed the return of Spiral ( engrenages ) in French

I do enjoy a Molesworth reference :-)

[Peter Pedant]

thank you atheist - remarkably good natured thread

does anyone know where it says that if a sib has bled to death after circumcision then you dont have to circumcise a brother ( haemophilia) ?

[JimF]

That would be in the Talmud.

[Atheist]

No! That would be an ecumenical mattah!

[Peter Pedant]
