>>Rood and his associate merely contributed the solution of the contents of the epah being a nuclear warhead, rather than an evil woman.<<

No, they didn't. They made a serious error by changing the word from woman to fire. Look closely at the subtle differences in the Hebrew renderings below. There is a distinct difference between the rendering for woman and that for fire.

אִשָּׁ֣ה woman Zechariah 5:7
אִשֶּׁ֖ה fire Leviticus 3:11

Rood and his associates were going by the transliteration only as indicated in his article.

"Chaim read down the page, paused, and looked up at us, "It is the word 'aisha'." David said, "It is a fire offering!"

They were NOT using the actual Hebrew text. They made a huge error.

Michael Rood is a very dangerous man to listen to. I implore you to investigate his words as I just did. He is leading people into grave error.

You really do not understand!

In the Hebrew scriptures the word clearly is fire; the context proves it.

You are a very dangerous man to listen to, and your attack on a man of God will prove costly in eternity unless you confess and repent.

BTW,

What do you suppose the likelihood of anyone putting an evil woman in a lead epah would be?

אִשָּׁ֣ה woman Zechariah 5:7
אִשֶּׁ֖ה fire Leviticus 3:11

The roots (most Hebrew words are formed from a three character sequence) are different so they are separate. Yet there is a somewhat interesting rabbinic story about these three words that share letters, man, woman, and fire, which may serve as a diversion from the war.

Some of our sages probe not only the words of the Torah, but each individual letter as well. The foremost exponent of this method was Rabbi Akiva. It was he who taught:“If husband and wife are deserving, G-d’s Presence dwells in their midst. If they are not deserving, fire devours them.” “For,” said Rabbi Akiba, “the Hebrew word for man is ish, spelled aleph, yod, shin. Remove the yod and you have aleph, shin or esh, meaning fire. The Hebrew word for woman is ishah, spelled aleph, shin heh. Remove the heh and, once again, you have esh, meaning fire. From this we learn that there is a consuming fire in the heart of every man and woman. When they marry, two fires are brought together that are capable of destroying whole worlds, if not properly tended. To quench that fire is impossible – for it generates the life of the world. But to leave the fire as is, is also impossible for it generates evil as well.

What did G-d do? He placed one of the letters of His name, the first letter of the Divine Name, yod, between the aleph and the shin to make the Hebrew name for “man”. And He took the second letter of the Divine Name, the heh, and placed it after the aleph and the shin to make the Hebrew word for “woman.” In that way, both man and woman retain in their names the word “fire,” but when they marry, the Divine Presence dwells in their midst, in the combination of their names. - See more at: http://www.mikvah.org/article/woman,_man_and_fire#sthash.Ax1ZWKc2.dpuf
