1 | I chose Israel and lifted up My hand? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141578 | ||
Hi greentwiga, Thank you for your work and study here. I appreciate the Scripture references and the idea of our lifting our hand as in a pledge of faithfulness, or in submitting to someone, or pledging allegiance. The Hebrews 6:13 reference was the one that came to my mind right away when I was looking at Ezekiel 20:5. God swore by Himself, for there was no one greater. I think of our being sworn in at a trial in the U.S. and how we put one hand on the Bible and raise our hand. The Word swore by Himself. I like a literal translation of Ezekiel 20:5 so I have penciled in "lifted up My hand" throughout the chapter for the NASB copy; thus going with the marginal note for that verse, which agrees with the NKJ. 1) The next difference in the NASB and NKJ that I have noticed is represented by verse 8. NASB, "Then I resolved [Marginal note, Lit., said] to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt." NKJ, "...Then I said, 'I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them..." Which version would you go with for verses 8, 13, and 21; those having the "I resolved to" of the NASB. From the heart, Ray |

A great resource I found is biblegateway.com use it to look up young's literal translation and many others. vs 20:8 And -- they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say -- to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt. God bless you Greentwiga |
