Sir,
I have tried to contact my old theology teacher with some questions, including that one. He is fluent in all languages of the Bible. If my letter reaches destination, I will be able to answer about whales.
If anyone has any language-related questions, feel free to ask. The "lost in translation" things about the Bible gave me an entirely different look on the book, it is immensely interesting how the book changed when it got translated. I will try to reach the gentleman who taught me theology.
