What I am trying to suggest is that the currently recognized border between Shor and T'leh is actually disputed. From the variant Rashis it seems that there is a debate as to the location of this border. One opinion would maintain that Kimah is in Shor and this is consistent with the currently accepted border. The opinion that states Kimah is in T'leh would have to draw the border somewhere to the left of Kimah in the picture I included. <br /><br />If the Rambam was of the second opinion everything works out beautifully. The vernal equinox wold be located in his T'leh during the time of the Mabul (based on his calculations) and it would seem to conform to Rashi's description of Kimah being the tail of the T'leh (it is at the edge of the constellation). Since the Rambam's statement is based on simple mathematics, this seems to be the most logical explanation.<br /><br />Was that better or should I explain some more (or other aspects)?Ari S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15688549063544341675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949953051173416434.post-38096890788931473542010-05-28T12:23:19.237-04:002010-05-28T12:23:19.237-04:00Not explained clearly enough.
