Ray I think by capitalizing it changes the meaning. I have checked nearly every translation I could think of and none capitalize this, most agree it is a comparison between God and Man only. The Son of Man (Jesus) is never mentioned in this passage. Consider these two translations of the passage. Numbers 23:19 NLT God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Numbers 23:19 God’s Word God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. For your consideration and thought Ed |

Hi EdB, Do you think that capitalization of the Son of Man in Hebrews changes the meaning or does it indeed explain it. I considered your translations earlier and I look at more literal ones. Consider Psalm 80:14. I haven't done an in-depth study of the third book of Psalms so I can't speak from any knowledge. But it appears in verse 14 a possible interpretation of this vine (Vine), a shoot (or Root), a son (or the Branch). But it goes on and says that "It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance. Let Thy hand be upon the man (probably Man) of Thy right hand, Upon the son of man (probably Son of Man) whom Thou didst make strong for Thyself. I've been trying to impress on people the need for us to examine the Scriptures and make it alive and personal for themselves. How much does one believe in the Deity of Christ, how much are the Scriptures prophetic, how much of a difference is there between our God and man? |

3 | The Glory of Israel | Num 23:19 | Ray | 16797 | ||
Hi EdB, Consider Psalm 8 along with Hebrews 2:6-9. Psalm 8 says from beginning to end, "O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth." Verse 4, "What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the Son of Man, that Thou dost care for Him? Yet Thou hast made (Him) a little lower than God, And dost crown Him with glory and majesty." Parenthesis and capitals are my interpretation. What do you think? Who is majestic here; man or the Son of Man. I would say the Son of Man, even our Lord. | ||||||

Ray for some crazy reason when I answered your previous question to me I could not see this response. | ||||||
