You must be new to these threads ... 'all the world' doesn't really mean ALL the world ... it means something less than all ... but enough to say 'all the world.' You see?

Actually, I am somewhat sympathetic - 'Eretz' is probably what was used, and it can mean a whole lot of things, from 'vicinity' to 'land', to 'the whole land', to 'the whole world'... and it must derive it's meaning from the context - Where I disagree with our FRiend is in the context.

Hi, FRiend,

How so, on the context?
