1 | Singular vs. Plural? | Eccl 12:1 | eklektos | 174212 | ||
Hi Forum, Any technical thoughts on the usage of the singular; why the translators may have done so? Ecc 12:1 KJV , NASB, ASV uses "Creator", singular, vs. the plural "Creators" as in the Hebrew. Also, in Isa 54:5 "Maker" vs. the plural "Makers" as in the Hebrew. eklektos |

2 | Singular vs. Plural? | Eccl 12:1 | Morant61 | 174213 | ||
Greetings Eklektos! There are some textual issues, but most seem to take the word as a plural of majesty - as when a King speaks in the plural of himself. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Singular vs. Plural? | Eccl 12:1 | eklektos | 174214 | ||
Hi Tim, Being known that the Creator is three in the singular and the Master is three in the singular; the plural usage could give way to wrong thinking and a tool for dissension. I had a thought that the translators may have done this to ward off any Polytheism arguments that may have risen. Thanks Tim, eklektos |
