Bible Question:
Hi, thanks for the response. It doesn't quite get at what I'm asking, though. The Masoretic Text does not have the vowel points for ADONAI, but rather for ADONI in Ps 110:1. Some Unitarian apologists are claiming that while ADONAI is the sole form of ADON used of YHWH, ADONI is used only of human lords (or angels). I don't think this is correct - ADON does appear to be used of YHWH also; however, my question really is with regard to the Concordance. Strong's lists the second occurance of Lord as ADON (#113) while the NASB Concordance lists it as ADONAI (#136). Either they are basing this on different textual evidence (i.e., Strong's is relying on the MT, while the NASB on something else) or one is incorrect. If the NASB Concordance is correct, the Unitarian argument is proven wrong at its very root. However, if the NASB Concordance is in error, then Trintitarians (such as myself) will need to demonstrate that the Unitarian argument is deficient in other ways (which I believe it is). Hope this helps clarify! |
Bible Answer: Greetings Robert! I really don't have access to Hebrew textual apparatus. Plus, I don't remember enough to use them anyway! :-) However, I did a search using Strongs # 113 (Adon) and Strong's # 3068 (Yƒhovah). I came up with 194 verses where the two are used together. They include: Ex. 34:23 - "the Lord, YHWH, the God of Israel" (ha adon yhwh elohe yisrael). Deut. 10:17 uses bot the singular and plural - "Lord of lords" (adone ha adonim). You might try cross referencing the above numbers and looking at the verses which are in common. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
