Dr. Campbell, is the phrase ''“min bain”'' which literally means ''“from between”''. If this interpretation is accepted, which seems to be the case from a reading of the commonly accepted translations, then one must also note that semen emanates ''from'' the penis, and not ''from between'' the penis and the vagina. To be strictly correct, semen emanates ''from'' the penis ''into'' the vagina.

A point often missed, though alluded to by Dr. Campbell, is the phrase ''“min bain”'' which literally means ''“from between”''. If this interpretation is accepted, which seems to be the case from a reading of the commonly accepted translations, then one must also note that semen emanates ''from'' the penis, and not ''from between'' the penis and the vagina. To be strictly correct, semen emanates ''from'' the penis ''into'' the vagina. This point seems to rule out tara’ib as being anything to do with the female sexual partner. | |||
