1 | Can we change God's Will? | Mal 3:6 | kalos | 162991 | ||
Why should the Egyptians say, ‘For evil he led them out to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger, and relent[35] of this evil against your people. Exodus 32:12 The NET Bible [35] 'tn The verb “repent, relent” when used of God is certainly an anthropomorphism. It expresses the deep pain that one would have over a situation. Earlier God repented that he had made humans (Gen 6:6). Here Moses is asking God to repent/relent over the judgment he was about to bring, meaning that he should be moved by such compassion that there would be no judgment like that. J. P. Hyatt observes that the Bible uses so many anthropomorphisms because the Israelites conceived of God as a dynamic and living person in a vital relationship with people, responding to their needs and attitudes and actions (Exodus [NCBC], 307). See H. V. D. Parunak, “A Semantic Survey of NHM,” Bib 56 (1975): 512-32.' ____________________ www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm |

If we ignore that the prayer of moses did not mean nothing, then poor moses that in his writing I think he assume that his prayer done something to his people israelites. God bless, |
