Hebrew Name Quotations

Hebrew/Bible name quotations
I started this series in 1999 when I came across a
great quote in Pirkei Avot, "The Ethics of the Fathers,"
about Aaron, who was Moses' brother and the original High Priest of
the Jewish people. Since then I've been on the lookout for quotes
using other Hebrew names that have made it into common English usage.
May we reflect our ancestors' examples as we bear their names even today.
