Professor Jacob Milgrom has passed away.

May his memory be for a blessing. It surely is for me.

Professor Abraham Malamat passed away today in Jerusalem at the age of 87.

May his memory be for a blessing.

I remember
when I was a kid
riding in the back
of the station wagon
telling my little brother
that I had the moon on a string
and I gave the string to him.

I still love you, brother.

. . . there is an end.

Bruce Metzger has died.

May he rest in the assurance of the eternal memory of God.

As noted on the ANE list and elsewhere, Hayim Tadmor passed away today. I was rather shocked, and entirely saddened, as just yesterday I had finished spending several days working through his stunningly excellent The Inscriptions of Tiglath-pileser III King of Assyria, which I hope will still be reprinted soon.

May his memory be for a blessing.
