1 | Prove Myself holy among you? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141716 | ||
Here is the last noteworthy difference between the NASB and the NKJ to my mind and understanding. Ezekiel 20:41, NASB, "As a soothing aroma I shall accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I shall prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations." Ezek 20:41, NKJ, "I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles." Which version do you go with for this verse? From the heart, Ray |

The Hebrew says yiT.v;D.qin.w and I am not sure if God is proving Himself holy or it just is a fact. He does both | ||||||
3 | Prove Myself holy among you? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141781 | ||
Hi Searcher, With a name like Holy Spirit, why should He have to prove Himself holy. Right? 1) The NKJ in Isaiah 5:16 states that fact much as it does in Ezekiel 20:41. "I will be hallowed" in Ezek 20:41, and in Isaiah 5:16, "But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness." The NASB for Isaiah 5:16, "But the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness." So in those examples, the versions are consistent in how they express His holiness, even though in different ways. 2) A look at Isaiah 8:13 for another example shows that there is not always consistency. Isaiah 8:13, NASB, "It is the Lord of hosts whom you should regard as holy." Isaiah 8:13, NKJ, "The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;" 3) Yet they are the same in this expression of His holiness in other verses. Isaiah 29:23, "But when he [Jacob] sees his children, The work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My name, And hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel." Isaiah 29:23, NASB, "But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, And will stand in awe of the God of Israel." 4) Another verse of interest to me in looking at God being sanctified, set apart, proven holy is 1 Peter 3:15. 1 Peter 3:15, NASB, "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts,..." 1 Peter 3:15, NKJ, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,..." I think that it is in that way that He Himself is proven holy. He is one with the Father. From the heart, Ray |
