| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to query the viability of Douglas K.

The study is particularly interested in the phrase "lamp of David". The author insists that the traditional interpretation of the Hebrew nir as 'lamp' be maintained, thus rejecting the relevance of the Akkadian niru "yoke". |
