Subject: What does "in the way" mean in Genesis 2 |
Bible Note: Hi Searcher, I think that it is pretty clear and straightforward in what it says. The servant was certainly led along his way and his task. What is of interest here is who was doing the leading. You say that the Lord was leading and of course He was; but the Lord is God. It is interesting to compare the translations here. Genesis 24:27, NASB, "And he said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham..." NKJ, "And he said, "Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham..." Genesis 24:21 and 26 for both of these translations read that the Lord made his way successful and the Lord was worshipped because of it. As for me, as a follower of the Way, this sect of the Jews, I say that Jesus is Lord. Praise His name. I think, also, that the original "swearing in" for the servant's task was done in the name of "the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth..." Yet, verse 24 speaks of the Lord God of heaven who will send His angel [Angel] before the servant to guide him. Personally, I think that the God who came to earth for us is this Angel, even the Lord. |
