1 | In reading Joshua 3:1-17 please explain | Josh 12:1 | Morant61 | 62481 | ||
Greetings Ray! The phrase in 2 Sam. 8:13 is a little different than in 2 Sam. 7:23, but I think they both refer to 'establising a reputation' in the eyes of others based upon the things one has accomplished. So, God was making a name for Himself in 2 Sam. 7:23, while David made a name for himself in 2 Sam. 8:13. I don't think that 2 Sam. 7:23 actually includes the pronoun 'himself'. However, every translation does render the phrase, 'make a name for Himself'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, Thanks for your work here. If 2 Samuel 7:23 does not have the pronoun 'himself' I will not put it in. I want to compare it to Exodus 33:16, "For how then can it be known that I have found favor in (Thy) sight, I and Thy people? Is it not by Thy going with us, so that we, I and **Thy people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?" 2 Samuel 7:23b, "...and awesome things for (Thy) land, before Thy people whom Thou hast redeemed for **Thyself from Egypt, from nations and their gods?" Deuteronomy 3:24, "O Lord God, (Thou) has begun to show Thy servant Thy greatness and **Thy strong hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as Thine?" Deuteronomy 4:7, "For whay great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on **Him?" Tim, how about 1 Chronicles 29:11? Would you go with the NKJ, "And You are exalted as head over all." In other words, is the "Thyself" in the Hebrew? And, lastly, how about 1 Chronicles 17:21? Is the word "Thee" in the Hebrew? I would want to render this as "to make a name by great and terrible things." Would this be consistent with the Hebrew? From the heart, Ray |
