    For what it's worth, Dahood (Psalms 1. Garden City: Doubleday, 1965.
    Anchor Bible Series) reads "man (mem-nun)" for the Masoretic "min"
    and equating it with ... (wait for it) the Ugaritic "m-n", in
    English "who" or "how many."   Thus mini not mi-ni.<br>
    <br>
    Levity, folks. If we're in Pslams Hell, then Dahood MUST be cited.<br>
