Hello,

I am looking for help from someone who has access to the original Aramaic 
version(s) of the Samaritan Pentateuch and can answer a linguistics 
question from it.

In Genesis 1:26 is the infamous and much debated word "image."  I find 
much food for thought in the original Hebrew word, which seems to be the 
combination of "shadow" and "bread".  I was wondering what word was used 
in the Samaritan text.

Also any gratuitous comments on the original Hebrew word would be 
appreciated.
