-'pel' in ancient Hebrew is [[cognate]] to "fell" in English (And to 'viel' in Dutch, and 'fällen' in German).
+'pel' in ancient Hebrew appears to be [[cognate]] to "fell" in English (And to 'viel' in Dutch, and 'fällen' in German).
 This is the root word of [[pelim]] aka "the Nephilim".
 However, further contextual evidence suggests that the passive interpretation of 'pel' as "fell" might be inadequate. A more active, and possibly better semantic fit might be "cast".
+Genesis 24:64 does not indicate that Rebeccah //fell// off her camel, but that she dismounted it. She cast herself from the camel.
+According to Genesis 2:21, [[Ihoh]] //cast// a sleep onto Adam. Adam did not simply fall asleep, his sleep was caused by Ihoh.
+====Pel Yel Pen===
+A fascinating oft-repeated phrase occurs with some variation. Sometimes it appears as just 'pel yel' or 'pel pen'.
+"cast over the edge"
+In traditional translation this phrase is interpreted variously as "fell upon" or "fell on his face".
+An interesting twist occurs in Genesis 25:18
+====Magic Spells====
+Job chapter 1 appears to tell the tale of four employees who narrowly escaped a series of magic spells cast against them.
+FIXME expand on this.
