So what are they?!?!?! Hebrew puns have been referred to time and again and as yet, no one has produced ANY as examples. Fess up. Give us some examples.

I have posted examples and links a hundred times around here by now. So I refuse to provide a compendium yet again. If you have a desire, you are readily capable of seeking out the information without sending me through the hoops yet again.

That being said, start your search here: "The Semitic Style of the New Testament" by Michael D. Marlowe, which discusses 'Hebraisms' in the NT by an author with a Greek primacy viewpoint. While not addressing Hebrew Puns explicitly, one can get a pretty good idea of the scope of undeniably Hebrew thought in the books, even though the author awkwardly, almost painfully ignores the obvious.

Secondly, what a Hebrew word pun is: Hebrew Word Puns

And lastly, an exhaustive treatise by James Trimm : Was the New Testament written in Hebrew? A Collection of Evidence Supporting Original Hebrew-Aramaic New Testament, which is the best compendium of information I have found thus far that lays out the case for an Hebrew primacy. As he writes, Hebrew puns, parallelisms, and Hebraisms are annotated in his HRV New Testament - So if you care to, you will no doubt find them all there (though I don't know, having never read it, being convinced by a somewhat longer and circuitous route).

That James Trimm site has been down for quite a while.

But no actual, physical manuscripts in existence.
