: Kaneh bosm = cannabis hemp.
: In my opinion, we now have THE definitive translation for kaneh bosm in the recipe of the holy anointing oil of Moses in Exodus 30:23.
: Eliezer Ben-Yehuda (1859-1922) is credited almost single-handedly with reviving the Hebrew language in the last century, and with being THE highest authority on virtually all matters of translation, etc. He even started the Academy of the Hebrew Language which still exists today and has "binding authority" on the Israeli government in matters of the Hebrew language.
: In the 1964 Ben-Yehuda Hebrew-English / English-Hebrew dictionary it says that kaneh bosm is cannabis hemp, page 140.
: If Ben-Yehuda's dictionary says kaneh bosm is cannabis hemp, then we have the final authority on the Hebrew language confirming for us and for all of humankind, the blessing of cannabis spirituality in written history.
: Muslims, Hebrews and Christians all regard the first five books of the Bible with respect. The part that the holy anointing oil played in the ancient times is enormous, especially considering that the very word, 'Christ' means literally, 'anointed'.
: The holy anointing oil of Moses included cannabis and was an 'active' sacrament imparting a true religious experience on the receiver. Now we know, 2 - 4, 000 years later.
: How long has there been a placebo holy oil on the alter of religions? I truly want to know. Do you?
: This is a time of great definition. A time of revealing the truth. The truth of cannabis in ancient times is more certain by the day. Hallelujah!
: And the certainty of us winning all cases that come against us has just become even more clear.
: All the very best to you,

Thank you, Roger,ever SO much. Should this be true (and I believe you-- I'll check it out), this would certainly be a freeing piece of knowledge for the church and for Christians, as individuals. I had, through my own research, concluded that cannabis is meat given by God for man's good. Now, I will be able to convince those believers who are narrow-minded regarding this subject that they should no longer believe the world's propoganda and condemn fellow believers for gratefully using what God in His mercy, His lovingkindness and His perfect ways has provided for those who love Him.
With sincerest regard,
Rich
