Bible Question (short): Who is exalted as head over all? |
Question (full): 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 |
