"You will crawl on your belly and eat dry-powder food throughout the days of your life."
"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)

:I agree, to "eat dust" makes more sense to me as well. But of course the original poster can explain his reasons for using "dry-powder food" before any change is made. --[[User:MarcoT|MarcoT]] 08:48, 12 June 2010 (EDT)
