* Gen 2:21-22 "angular organ" is at least a consistent rendering, whether correct or not; "reproductive organ" (as the revised text of Genesis will read) is clearly more interpretation than translation. Even "angular organ" is technically incorrect. While the womb is generally forms a V shape, it is still not technically angular. Angles require straight edges. Walls may form angles. No body organ can legitimately be called "angular.
* Ex. 25:12,14 How can the wall of a hollow cell (the ark) itself be a hollow cell? It's argued that the walls of both the tabernacle and the temple were angular or tapered, but this is not true of the ark, a rectangular box, with only perpendicular angles?
* Job 18:12 - to say that "calamity is at your side," makes perfectly good sense. It seems to need no improvement. To say, as CV does, "calamity stands ready against his reproductive organs" sounds strangely like the crude idiom "to have one by the balls," which, of course, are not located at one's side. This translation is out of accord with the CV's standard of angle. Furthermore, this translation contradicts the translation of Genesis 2:21-22. The Hebrew Scriptures have several ways of referring to the reproductive organs, from the specific terms, "testicles" and "penis" in Lev. 23:1, to the euphemistic phrase "under the thigh" in Deut 23:1. Thus it seems unlikely that the term "tsela" here means anything other than "side."
Job 18:12 is referring to a man. There is nothing angular about any of a man's "reproductive organs." Adam allegedly had his "angular organ" (womb) removed. How then can the man of Job still possibly possess one? How can the same rendering, "reproductive organ," be used of two organs which are understood by the translator to be two different and separate organs. How can the specifity of the organ be pressed in Genesis, when it's use as a generic term here contradicts that specificity?
Mr. Knoch does not himself seem to emphasize the triangular shape of the angular cell removed from Eve, or specifically identify it as the womb, as Jeff does with his illustration of the uterus. Mr. Knoch simply defines tsela as a "hollow cell or vault." Again, he does not specify the shape as tri-angular. Is it possible that this generic rendering "reproductive organ" (here in Job and in the upcoming revision of Genesis) is an attempt to thus withdraw from a specific identification of the uterus as "tsela"? In fact, Mr. Knoch speculates that the male breast is a vestige of man's original bisexual condition. He does not get any more specific as to the location of the "angular organ" which was removed from Adam. Mr. Knoch's vestigial breast is quite removed from Jeff's vestigial "suture-like structure." If we split the difference we're left with a rib! Actually such speculations are without foundation.
