Re: Hebed Jesus (Miss Claire, could you help with this?) (m)
in reply to a message by Menke
Strange, strange... If Hebed was Abd (Arabic), then Iesus would be Issa...
Iesus is Latin, but Hebed doesn't seem Latin to me...
If Hebed is Hebrew, what isn't Jesus Yehoshua or Yeshua?
Moreover, hebed doesn't remind me of anything... Only of Habad, a Jewish "sect", but it's not a word but initials of several words...
Oooooh wait a minute... B and V are the same in Hebrew... I got it! Hebed Iesus is Heved Y(eh)oshua, "Jesus' glory"! Like Moses' mom, Yocheved, is "God's glory"!Wow, that was a tricky one.

thx! so Abdiesus is not Abd + Iesus, but a latinization of Hebed Jesus.
