In Hebrews vii.3 we're told Melchizedek was "without father, without mother, without descent" etc.; so he's a good example of the unborn. As for "gink", if it's pronounced with a hard G (as in "get"), then the only meaning is "odd fellow" etc., a pejorative word. But if it's got a soft G, as in "gin", then it's either a mishearing or a viable variant of "chink", money [since the 1600s; colloquial; used by Ben Jonson]. Margarita--what texts are you quoting there?? |
