I'm interested in Dibri...Can this name be seen as a play on the word "dvar"? If so, then perhaps the story is mytho-lexical. (Is Shlomit related to shalom?) So the first of the words was peace: wholeness. The wholeness---when word and thing are one---is broken when the priesthood must define the holy against profane, the sacred use of language against the forbidden. By such divisions and enforcements a priesthood---perhaps by its institutional nature (never mind patriarchy) will make capital punishment possible...hmmmm: what indeed would the mother's say. Or Miriam?
