Not to worry. I left a link to [[Baraminology]] and a full explanation of where that name comes from. "Kind" is correct; it is the word that [[God]] actually used, or at least how it translated. But everyone will know what we mean by that, especially after we write the commentary.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 18:30, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

"You will crawl on your belly and eat dry-powder food throughout the days of your life."
Again, I defer to the expert(s), but I don't see the basis for "dry-powder food". Throughout the Old Testament, עפר (`aphar) is used in two senses: dust/dry earth (as in Gen. 2:7), and a vast number (as in Gen. 13:16). I don't see any basis for "food". Also, serpents (snakes) are almost exclusively carnivorous. Meat doesn't register as a "dry-powder food". [[User:ChrisFV|ChrisFV]] 22:59, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
