Are there pre- and post-flood localities? Do you have a list of places that existed before the Flood that are still around?

They simply called the first river they came across by a name with which they were familiar from a river with the same name that existed before the flood. That is similar to groups of immigrants to the U.S. naming new towns and places with the same names as the places from where they had come.Chris Watts wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 7:54 amEuphrates?

Biblical Hebrew has no tenses, therefore you can’t talk about “past tense” concerning Biblical Hebrew.Chris Watts wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 7:54 am Consider also that the other three rivers are governed by Participle verbs - Moses was not speaking in past tense but used an ongoing action verb.

Tense is only one way to differentiate what happened in the past, present and future. There are other ways to make that distinction. Biblical Hebrew just happens to use other ways, other than tense, to make that differentiation.Chris Watts wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 1:10 pm Well we won't get into the tense argument, regardless of how a language forms its grammar, EVERY language spoken NEEDS to refer to what happened in the past, the Future and the Present - logical deduction methinks.
And what do you mean by that? Is that a faith statement?Chris Watts wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 1:10 pm Trust you to crawl out of the quagmire by referring to a document written by Adam.

Just a reminder that this is a claim that is in contention. The forms are not coded for tense, but the language itself has tense.kwrandolph wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 12:58 pmBiblical Hebrew has no tenses, therefore you can’t talk about “past tense” concerning Biblical Hebrew.
“Tense” refers to different forms that code for time reference. Biblical Hebrew lacks such forms.Jason Hare wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 4:12 pmJust a reminder that this is a claim that is in contention.
