Coincidences in the Bible and in Biblical Hebrew

[Rhys]

Rhys,

Thanks for your response.

Look at pages 148-149  for further detail.

He talks about the 27 bones divided into 3 groups, wrist, palm and hand. He describes the 14 digital bones called phalanx bones and shows a reference to the definition of hand from the Collins Dictionary.

The flaw, in the author's reasoning starts, with his definition, of a hand.  It is inaccurate.  It is not wrist, palm and hand.  It is wrist, fingers and the bones in between.  The Collins Dictionary is not a medical dictionary and therefore is not the best choice, as a source, for medical definitions. 

Palm refers to the grasping side, of one's hand.  The opposite side is the dorsal aspect.  The former is for flection and the later is for extension.

I have read one medical source, which does not include the carpal bones (bones of the wrist), in its description, of the bones, of the hand, but  I've never known anyone professionally, who would agree, with that source material.

In my copy, of "Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology", by Anthony and Kolthoff the bones, of the hand are as I have described them, with the added naming, of the carpal bones.

I don't like to put a damper, on this person's book, but at the very least, on this subject his medical information is inaccurate, which adversely affects his conclusion/supposition.
