Sounds good to me. Thanks again for providing some insight into the translation. Thanks Brett,

It is a very literal translation, in that the verb means 'to have /hold'. Given the context of being descriptive it is usually assumed that they are attributes of the lamb, although you could also translate it as possessive. Cheers, Brett Hi Ian,

If they are a possession - then it is a result of <i>what he has done</i>. Not every thing has a pragmatic purpose, and the answer will have pretty much zero impact in how I live my life. Doesn't stop it being interesting though :) Hi Chris,
