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 |

Scripture ... Gen 14:22, Exo 6:8, Num 14:30, Due 32:40, Neh 9:15, Psa 106:26, Eze 36:7, Dan 12:7, Rev 10:5-6 ... Ray Lifting our hands toward God, means we are swearing by Him. There are various levels (Matt 5:33-37) and we are told to speak the truth, rather than swear, God onlty can swear on/by Himself (Heb 6:13-20) and His lifting His hands is a picture of what man did.

3 | I chose Israel and lifted up My hand? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141625 | ||
Hi Searcher, Thank you for the Scriptures. Is this a complete list for Strong's #3027, "lifting up the hand"? Exodus 6:8 Nehemiah 9:15 Psalm 106:26 Ezekiel 36:7 Ezekiel 44:12 Ezekiel 20:5,5,6,15,23,28,42 All of those I would translate "lifted up My hand" rather than swore or sworn. Numbers 14:30 is one that I wonder about. The NASB marginal note says [raised My hand] but the NKJ marginal note says [solemnly promised]. Thanks again. From the heart,Ray P.S. What do you mean by "His lifting His hands is a picture of what man did." |

God uses illustrations that we can indentify what He does. I listed the Scriptures along the top. | ||||||
