Bible Question:
Studying David's response to Nathan's prophesy and I am confused about this verse. What does the phrase "And this is the law for man" refer to here? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tauna |
Bible Answer: "Is this your usual way of dealing with men, O Lord God? The NET Bible 2 Samuel 7:19 And you didn’t stop there, O Lord God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant’s family. Is this your usual way of dealing with men,[28] O Lord God? 28tn Heb “and this [is] the law of man.” This part of the verse is very enigmatic; no completely satisfying solution has yet been suggested. The present translation tries to make sense of the Masoretic Text by understanding the phrase as a question that underscores the uniqueness of God’s dealings with David as described here. The parallel passage in 1 Chr 17:17 reads differently. (http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm) "This is [indeed] a teaching for a man..." Yet in your view, Adonai ELOHIM, even this was too small a thing; so you have even said that your servant's dynasty will continue on into the distant future. This is [indeed] a teaching for a man, Adonai ELOHIM-- 2 Samuel (SH'MU'EL BET) 7:19 Complete Jewish Bible (http://bible.crosswalk.com/) KJV "manner" Strong's Number: 08452 Transliterated Word: Towrah Definition: custom, manner, mode, law (of man) King James Word Usage - Total: 1 manner 1 (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew/) |
