1 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | Ray | 147874 | ||
I see Joshua 22:22 as pivotal in understanding the book of Joshua. How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, Since nobody has responded to your Hebrew translation I am sending the following to you: You wrote concerning Jos 22:22: "How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse?" NOTE: the brackets [] and (numbers) that are inserted are mine. Jos 22:22 NASB "The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! [ El(1) Elohim(2) Yehovah(3), El(4) Elohim(5) Yehovah(6) ] He(7) knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD [ Yehovah(8) ] do not save us this day! The count is 8. Commentary: Jos 22:22: The Lord God of gods - The original words are exceedingly emphatic, and cannot be easily translated. (àì àìäéí éäåä(font unreadable by forum font limitations)) El Elohim Yehovah, are the three principal names by which the supreme God was known among the Hebrews, and may be thus translated, the strong God, Elohim, Jehovah, which is nearly the version of Luther, der starcte Gott der Herr, “The strong God the Lord.” And the Reubenites, by using these in their very solemn appeal, expressed at once their strong unshaken faith in the God of Israel; and by this they fully showed the deputation from the ten tribes, that their religious creed had not been changed; and, in the succeeding part of their defense they show that their practice corresponded with their creed. The repetition of these solemn names by the Reubenites, etc., shows their deep concern for the honor of God, and their anxiety to wipe off the reproach which they consider cast on them by the supposition that they had been capable of defection from the pure worship of God, or of disaffection to their brethren. (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) NOTE: The font system on this forum does not allow the for the correct font to be used, therefore the above is as close as can be with the forum's font limitations. terrib |

Hi terrib, Your quote of Adam Clark is considering the KJ or NKJ "Lord God of gods." That is what I am going with for this verse. Here is how I would translate/interpret the verse for what it is worth: Joshua 22:22, "The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods knows, and let Israel itself know -- if [it is] in rebellion, or if in treachery against the Lord, do not save us this day." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, I did a search in three versions of the Bible. KJV: Search phrase: "The LORD God of gods" (as it appears in KJV) One occurrence at: Jos 22:22 The same three words (El Elohim Yehovah) are used in Psa 50:1, but the KJV does not translate them the same as in Jos 22:22. NASB: Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, the LORD" (as it appears in NASB) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 American Standard(ASV) Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, Jehovah" (as it appears in ASV) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 Psa 50:1(KJV) «A Psalm of Asaph.» The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Psa 50:1(NASB) A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psa 50:1(ASV) The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Concerning the three words (El Elohim Yehovah), "Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible" does reference Psa 50:1 as does "Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament". Just something to think about. NOTE: I replaced the "greater than" and the "less than" symbols in the KJV of Psa 50:1 with « and » because the forum does not allow those characters. terrib |
