1 | Does my view violate context or grammer? | Gen 27:33 | Morant61 | 185095 | ||
Greetings Atdcross! I would advise extreme caution with the TEV since it is a paraphrase, not a translation. Here is a literal translation of Heb. 12:17: "you know (pl) for that even afterwards being willing to inherit the blessing he was rejected, a change of mind for a place not he found although with tears after seeking it." Based upon the Greek alone, one could argue that the change of mind or of purpose that Esau sought was his own, but his decision could not be changed. However, based on the Genesis account, one could argue that the change of mind Esau sought was of his father. Either way, the passage does not deal with a defective repentance, but rather with a decision that cannot be changed. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim! You said that the emphasis of Heb 12:17 is to "a decision that cannot be changed." I agree. That was my jist, which I may not have made clear. And I added that it has reference ultimately to God, that is (as I stated in point #2), "Isaac's refusal to change it [the blessing] was in recognition of God's mind in the matter." |
