I was wondering what was written on the wall in Arabic?
I seemed to have missed that part

It's been a long time since I've seen this, but I think it was something like, I look for him and can't find him, I call for him and he doesn't answer. Goren supposes it was written to make the cops think that the girl committed suicide over the boyfriend leaving her, but in the end comes to the conclusion that it was written by the young man because he was looking for God and had lost his way when he fell in with the terrorist group. I hope that helps  |

This episode was 1:0 for Goren, with me being the opponent. His knowledge of Semitic languages is better than mine. Admittedly, I only know Hebrew, and not that well, but if somebody had transliterated the Arabic words I think I would have gotten the meaning.

Yes, the writing on the wall is a quote from the Biblical Song of Solomon, about longing for a lost lover. The killers wanted it to look like a suicide note, but since they couldn't forge the victim's handwriting, they tried to disguise it by writing in Aramaic.

Aramaic? It get's even worse. I cannot read it, hardly understand it if some-one reads it to me. But at least I can recognize the quote. Song of Songs, 5, 6b: "I looked for him, but did not find him, I called him, but he didn't answer" Doesn't refer exactly to God, rather to the lover (but never mind, love is divine, so the difference isn't hat big). I'm sure Goren has read this Biblical book several times. It would be in character.
