Hi kalos, Thank you for responding here. I agree that it is good to look at several different translations, and especially these that you quoted that capitalize. When I look at the KJ I see the "root", the "ensign", and the Gentiles seeking to "it". If the "it" is the ensign, and I believe that that is the case for this version, then we would have two pronouns of Deity probably. That is, "Root" and "His". In the NKJ I see the "Root", the Gentiles seeking "Him", and "His" resting place. That means three pronouns of Deity. The NASB has one pronoun of Deity, that is, "His" resting place. The problem is, there is no pronoun to refer back to in the verse, for the "root" is not capitalized. I believe that Root is the better choice for here and in Isaiah 11:1,2. It reads in the NKJ "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,..." The "Him" here in verse 2 refers back to verse 1 the shoot, the branch; and refers forward to the root of verse 10 in the NASB translation. Thus, I would have to go with the NKJ on this and capitalize them all. What do you think? Are we seeking Him or not? |
