1 | Shamayim - why heavens, not two heavens | Gen 1:1 | pomegranate | 6787 | ||
Hi Tim, Thanks for the reply... I was also aware of hamayim (water) being a dual noun. The nature of the dual with water seems very apparent to me as literal, because in "day" two, God seperates waters. Two waters to be exact, the waters above and the waters below... Obviously what makes the noun "dual" is the suffix transliterated as "im" (Yod, Mem)... Now what about Elohim, that is obviously a dual noun correct? Personally, I am beginning to believe that dual nouns are a very important part of understanding... Thanks again. pom |

Greetings Pom! I don't know. Most of the sources I counslted didn't attach a lot of significance to dual nouns. Although, they also admitted that they didn't know why some nouns were dual. At this point, I would guess that it is just a quirk of the language. In Christ, Tim Moran |
