41 | How many pronouns in the Hebrew? | 1 Kin 8:30 | Ray | 107879 | ||
Hi Searcher, I will write this as a question because I am still interested in knowing how the Hebrew reads for these passages. Thank you for pointing out that the new copyright for the NASB has 2 Chronicles 6:21 and1 Kings 8:30 as reading the same. That was not the case in the NASB l977 copyright that I still study from which has the Thee and Thou's. I would guess however that the Hebrew has five or six pronouns for Deity in 2 Chronicles 6:21. For a smooth reading while using the You pronouns, the NASB 1995 copyright only has the three. Does anyone have knowledge and access to the Hebrew manuscripts so that I can know how many pronouns are in the verses? From the heart, Ray |

43 | "Who am I?" How important is it? | 1 Chr 17:16 | Ray | 12270 | ||
Brain teaser 2; "Who am I" prayer of David. 1 Chronicles 17:16 and 2 Samuel 7:18 record the "Who am I" prayer of David. With one small change this prayer can be shown to be a prayer to a Triune God; in the sense that the pronouns total are divisible by three. How important would that be to you or any person considering the Deity of Christ? The change that would have to be made to make the pronouns divisible by three would be to interpret 1 Chronicles 17:20 "neither is there any god besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears." In order to get this result, and for ease in counting capitalized pronouns, go to your NASB. My question is, "How important is it to you?" |

44 | Dedication of...for the house of our God | 1 Chr 29:2 | Ray | 152532 | ||
Reference #152531, 1 Chron 29:2 and Ezra 7:21 1 Chron 29:5, "of gold for the [things of] gold, and of silver for the [things of] silver, that is, for all the work done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?" Ezra 7:20, "And the rest of the needs for the house of your God, for which you may have occasion to provide, provide for it from the royal treasury." Any thoughts on these verses? |
||||||
45 | father or Father? | 1 Chr 29:10 | Ray | 140541 | ||
I am looking at the prayer of David in 1 Chronicles 29:10-19 with the expectation that the pronouns of Deity would be divisible by three. The first pronoun that would influence that "count total" is found in verse 10, being the word "father or Father". This choice of capitalization is reflected in the interpretations of the NASB and the NKJ. NASB, "Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever." NKJ, "Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever." What do you think, and why? From the heart, Ray |

46 | Who is exalted as head over all? | 1 Chr 29:10 | Ray | 140564 | ||
Hi Searcher56, I would say Father, also, if we can be sure that the verse is talking of the Lord God. The NASB and the Amplified versions interpret the verse as speaking of Israel, that is, Jacob, David's forefather. Could that be the more accurate interpretation? 1) The second choice that we have in considering this prayer and its pronouns is whether the second occurance of "Yours" should be included. The word is in italics in the NKJ. 1 Chron 29:11, NKJ, "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is [Yours]; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all." 1 Chron 29:11, NASB, 1995, "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all." Both versions have six pronouns of Deity in verse 11 but have translated it differently. How would you translate it? Would you use a lower number of pronouns by not using the implied "Yours" of the NKJ? Would you add to the number by capitalizing the word "Head" because He is exalted? 2) Or would you see little value in discussing the pronouns at all in the first place? I am aware that just because I want to know a triune God, doesn't mean that everyone is interested in that. From the heart, Ray |

48 | There is no God like Him.May He hear | 2 Chr 6:14 | Ray | 140608 | ||
In considering the prayer of Solomon in 2 Chron 6:14 I have the expectation of finding a total count of pronouns of Deity that is divisible by three. I find two verses to be key for this prayer. 2 Chron 6:14, NKJ, "and he said, "Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven or on earth like You, who keep [Your] covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts." 2 Chron 6:21, NKJ, "And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive." What do you think? Do we have a triune God who keeps covenant with us and will hear our supplications? From the heart, Ray |

49 | Hear Thou...heaven. Hear Thy people | 2 Chr 6:24 | Ray | 140612 | ||
When God's people sin, how important is it to return to Him? The "to You" is implied in the Hebrew, but it is an important pronoun for the verse, would you not agree? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
50 | If and when? | 2 Chr 6:24 | Ray | 140625 | ||
In comparing this verse with the similar prayer in 1 Kings 8:31, I see that sinning is a fact of life. Sin leads to death and as you say, "repentance is a way of life", or could we also say that repentance is a way to life. There is no doubt that if we sin against Him we will feel the results of that sin. 1 Kings 8:33, "When Thy people Israel are defeated [Lit. smitten] before an enemy, because they have sinned against Thee..." 1) I wonder what the difference is in the Hebrew between "if" and "when". 1 Kings 8:31, NKJ, "When anyone sins against his neighbor,..." 2 Chron 6:22, NKJ, "If anyone sins against his neighbor,..." From the heart, Ray |

51 | Walking before Him; "Hear Thou..." | 2 Chr 6:39 | Ray | 105184 | ||
I noticed that there are nine places in the prayer of Solomon where it says "hear Thou". That is to say, if you also include 2 Chron 6:39 in that listing. I wonder if anyone familiar with Hebrew can tell me why this verse omits "Thou" when verse 21, 23, 25, etc. include it. I would point out also however, that I am using the old 1977 copyright of the NASB. One can use the King James in looking at verse 39. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
52 | "I pray Thee" Earnestly implore? | 2 Chr 6:40 | Ray | 105376 | ||
In the former 1977 copyright of the NASB this verse reads, "Now, O my God, I pray Thee..." This probably was changed in the 1995 version to make it sound less formal perhaps; perhaps for some other reason. My question is: how formal should we be when we talk to God? How much do we have to beseech or beg when we pray to Him? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
53 | I pray Thee and then He will hear? :)) | 2 Chr 6:40 | Ray | 105522 | ||
The prayer of Solomon in 2 Chron 6:14-42 has the request that God hear from heaven. I connect the verses 2 Chron 6:40 with 7:14 with the idea of "I pray Thee" and "the I will hear from heaven". So my desire is to convince that the "I pray Thee" of NASB, 1977 or the "I beseech You" of the Amplified be accepted here. 2 Chronicles 6:40, "...let Thine eyes be open, and Thine ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place." 2 Chronicles 7:15, "Now My eyes shall be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place." From the heart, Ray |

2 Chronicles 15:3, "And for many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law." John 7:46, NKJ, "The officers answered, "No man [Man?] ever spoke like this Man!" Any comments? |

55 | The need of a Shepherd and Master | 2 Chr 18:16 | Ray | 17953 | ||
I have just completed a study of 2 Chronicles forwards and backwards one might say, and have found a possible key verse right in the middle. What do you think? I will add my interpretation through capitalization. "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no Shepherd; And the Lord said, 'These have no Master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'" |

56 | Do we know Him? Know His Son? | Job 28:28 | Ray | 105493 | ||
Proverbs 30:4, "Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's [Son's, NKJ] name? Surely you know? From the heart, Ray |

57 | Using Job 34:32 to understand 35:3? | Job 34:32 | Ray | 151464 | ||
The 1977 NASB copyright for Job 34:32 reads, "Teach Thou me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?" With the l995 copyright using "You" instead of "Thou" it would be awkward to render it, "Teach You me what I do not see." I believe that the new copyright did well in changing the verse to read like the Amplified and the NKJ. I have learned sometime through the years to compare this verse with John 7:17. John 7:17, "If any man is willing to do (His) will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of **God, or whether I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory;..." Job 34:31, "For has anyone said to (God), 'I have borne chastisement; I will not offend anymore; 32 Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'? 33 "Shall **He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know." The parentheses and ** are mine for comparisons. 1) Does a comparison of these verses help you in deciding the reading for Job 35:3? "For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You? [Marginal note, Or, you] What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?" Should it be You or you for Job 35:3? From the heart, Ray |

58 | May the Lord give...May the Lord bless | Ps 28:1 | Ray | 131915 | ||
I am looking at Psalms 28:1, Psalms 28:9, Psalms 29:10, and Psalms 30:10. In these verses are words that can be interpretted as pronouns of Deity. They are "Rock, Shepherd, King, and Helper." l) Psalm 28:1, NASB, "To Thee, O Lord, I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, Lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit." Psalm 28:1, NKJ, "To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock; Do not be silent to me,..." 2) Psalm 28:9, "Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever." Psalm 28:9, NKJ, "Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever." 3) Psalm 29:10, NASB, "The Lord sat [as King] at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever." Psalm 29:10, NKJ, "The Lord sat [enthroned] at the Flood, And the Lord sits as King forever." 4) Psalm 30:10, "Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me; O Lord, be Thou my helper." Psalm 30:10, NKJ, "Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper." How important to you are these words/pronouns and their interpretations? From the heart, Ray |

59 | Thanks to God? | Ps 30:12 | Ray | 85184 | ||
Thanks be to God. Psalm 30:12, Romans 7:25, 1 Corinthians 15:57, 2 Thessalonians 2:13. Would anyone care to add to the list? | ||||||
60 | Holy Spirit or wind, breath, spirit? | Ps 51:3 | Ray | 116140 | ||
I have been considering Psalm 51:11 and Ezekiel 36:27 tonight and have "penciled in" some changes to my own personal copy. I wonder if you would consider putting Holy Spirit in lower case? Psalm 51:11, "Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy *holy *spirit from me." What I am considering is that "presence" and "holy spirit" and "salvation" would be more connected if spirit was in lower case. In other words, "Thy presence", "Thy holy spirit", and "Thy salvation". 2) Ezekiel 36:27, "And I will put My *spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances." What I am considering here is that verse 26 speaks of a new heart and a new spirit within you, so a continuing with "My spirit within you" would make sense. Ezekiel 37:14, NASB, "And I will put My Spirit [marginal note, Or, breath] within you, and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land." Here, with the incorporation of "breath" instead of "Spirit" we would be consistent in our usage of "spirit within you". What are your thoughts on the above? From the heart, Ray |
