AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 27:33 Then Isaac trembled violently, and he said, "Then who was the one [who was just here] who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I blessed him. Yes, and he [in fact] shall be (shall remain) blessed." |
Bible Question:
Hebrews 12:17 (KJV). I have heard that the "repentance" refers to Esau whose repentance was incomplete or not genuine. Another thought is that "repentance" refers to God - God would not change His mind no matter how repentant was Esau; loss of the blessing was irretrievable. 1. To whom does the "repentance" refer, to God or Esau? 2. Can the Greek help in clearly deciding to whom "repentance" has reference? 3. How specifically would the context help to clearly decide the matter? 4. Or, is there ambiguity in the Greek and the context deciding to whom "repentance" refers? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Lookn4ward2Heavn! In the Greek, there is only one subject in the immediate context to which the repentance could refer, and that is Esau. God is not mentioned in these verses, so He could not be the subject. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
