Sarcastic comments (see above in Hebrew - so that the asker wouldn't understand, perhaps?) about me being 'wrong again (just for a change' and 'learning a bit about Jewish lore' don't change the fact that as far as current Hebrew usage is concerned, I am right.
Peer comment(s):

agree Suzan Chin : Definitely הקרבה. Haven't we been through this before? I'm having a deja vu.

Kol Chaiyai hem korban
KoL = All
Chaiyai = My life
Hem korban = (they are) a sacrifice
Peer comment(s):

disagree Eynati : This says .. my life is a victim. You're wrong, jes' like last time. We aren't concerned with how the term was used then, but how it's used today. The Temple no longer stands (last time I checked), and I'm au fait with Jewish lore, thanks all the same.
