The note in my HCSB study Bible says, "the barabarians at the end of the eighth century BC were the Assyrians, who spoke a language (Akkadian) that the people of God could not understand. . . . " Made me think of you and your newfound love of Akkadian!

Wow :D That's a really interesting reference! Thanks so much for sharing - it brightened my day! *hugs*

I really am having fun with Akkadian. The grammar seems so logical, but the vocab is a little tough to remember. I guess I still feel like the Israelites - it's all Greek to me, hehe :P
