It should be: Timshol - ata rashai

My comment:

It seems to be "Rule You're aloowned to"
Timshel is witout any doubt a mistaken pronounciation of the Herew word Timshol, which if a Hebrew speaker would have wished to use such a term he would have said: Meshol while Timshol.is the future tense.

Dear Haim, Thanks for your kind message. You did not upset me - I do not take linguistic arguments personally - but it was nice of you to write what you did. And you are probably quite right in your interpretation. Best regards, Yoni

will rule, sort of

My comment:

This crops up from time to time on the Internet. Steinbeck got hold of the wrong end of the stick. There is no such word. However, timshol is to do with ruling, and can be the future tense 2nd person m. or the 3rd person f.

Thou mayest is in Hebrew "Ata rashai", which means you're allowed to - capish?

The phrase had two parts and reminds a church preaching of ruling one's own emotions for instance. But here it means "rule, you are allowed to", tie the next two words to Timshel (which should Timshol) and you will realize its meaning. I didn't mean to upset you and if I did I'm really sorry.
