Description
At a lecture some years earlier, Neville discussed an audience member's dream of his death as Judas and explained that Judah is the great revealer because Judah comes from Yod, the Hebrew word for hand. [Date evidence: 'some years ago' relative to the death — vague; possibly Carter's own dream retold from the platform] [Place: a lecture]
Persons
Verbatim (witness's words)
I think some of you may remember the lecture some years ago when he talked about the dream, which one of the members of the audience had had, about his death as Judas, and at that time he explained that Judah is the great revealer because the word Judah comes from Yod, which in Hebrew is the word for hand.
