Subject: Interesting Rendering |
Bible Note: Hi Emmaus, The "rendering" in all of the versions is legitimate. But the problem comes in the "interpretation" which comes from the capitalization of the verse. And I would tell King James Biblebeliever that the King James falls short in that regard. In regard to your personal choice in capitalization, may I say that I would differ with your choice of "lamb". I see no reason to think of Jesus as just a man (a lamb). I see Him as the Lamb of God (but being in the likeness of men). Be that as it may, here is how I interpret the verses, for what it is worth. The slashes, stars, and parentheses are mine. Genesis 22:8, "And Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself/ the *lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them walked on together." Genesis 22:14, "And Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the Lord/ *it will be provided."" In fact, on the mount of Calvary, "It is finished". See John 19:30 and John 10:33. I understand the comparison of the Genesis verses because of the Angel of the Lord in verse 11. I have come to compare/contrast that verse with Galatians 3:5. Galatians 3:5,6, "Does He then, who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 6 Even so Abraham believed (God), and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." Genesis 22:15, "Then the Angel of the Lord called Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, "By (Myself) I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you,..." Compare the endings of verses 12 and 16 for the reason for choosing "Angel". From the heart, Ray |
