----------------------------NOTES-------------------------------
*1 Recall that >Aleph-Samech-Pay< has 5 meanings.
One of them is >DEATH< since the >SOUL is BROUGHT HOME<
*2 Recall that >Aleph-Samech-Pay< has 5 meanings.
One of them is >CURING LEPROSY< since the >LEPOR< was
expelled from the >CITY<. Therefore when he is cured
he is BROUGHT BACK IN.
