A note on spelling.

Since the Bible I'll be using is the very old and very traditional Douay-Rheims, you'll notice many of the names and places are spelled in an archaic fashion. I've decided I won't modernize the spellings when I post my thoughts. In most cases, the spelling differences are very minor (e.g., Chanaan instead of Canaan). Other examples include Noe instead of Noah, and Josue instead of Joshua. When a spelling difference is drastically antiquated, I will be sure to make a mention of it. At any rate, this issue of spelling really only pertains to the oldest books of the Old Testament.
