1 | Shall or Will? | Ps 119:48 | Belyn | 66337 | ||
Is there a difference in meaning behind the word 'shall' in the first portion of the verse and the word 'will' in the second portion? My dictionary suggests that 'will' in the first person is meant as a purposeful action (I will do this) and 'shall' in the first person is used as a futurity (I shall be 40 on my birthday). Is the NASB using these words for specific purpose or are they used interchangeably? To me it would make a difference as to whether one is saying "I will commit or determine" (will) or, "this will happen"(shall). Thank you for reading my question and for imparting any information you may have. Belyn |

Belyn, Thank you for the question that has prompted me to study and learn much about our Lord's inspired word. Your question got me to thinking, about how to get past the translations and find out how the original authors intentions were meant to be read. I found a good site that I would like to share with you, and a brief description follows. http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew/ Using the Lexicons: The Hebrew Lexicon has been designed to help the user understand the original text of the Bible. By using the Strong's version of the Bible, the user can gain a deeper knowledge of the passage being studied. 'Crosswalk' has many other references available that are linked to this site. Thank you again for helping me to find these valuable tools, may God Bless you. Tim |

You are most welcome, Belyn, but I can hardly accept credit when the Reverend Spurgeon gave you the enlightenment. Praise God for sites like this forum and so many others. If you are a fan of Spurgeon, may I suggest you look up; The Spurgeon Archive found at; http://www.spurgeon.org/mainpage.htm Happy Hunting, May God Bless You and Your Efforts, Tim I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. (Job 36:3) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. (Isa 28:9) |
