Bible Note: Psalm 82: A Translation Part 1 I 1 [1] God stands up 2 In the Assembly of El 3 In the midst of the gods he judges II 1 [2] How long will you rule unjustly? 2 And honor the wicked? 3 [3] Judge the lowly and fatherless! 4 Do justice for the needy and the poor! 5 [4] Rescue the lowly and oppressed! 6 From the hand of the wicked! III 1 [5] They do not know 2 And they do not understand; 3 In darkness they wander around; 4 All the foundations of the earth totter! IV 1 [6] I, I say: 2 You (are) gods 3 And sons of the Highest (are) all of you, 4 [7] Nevertheless, you will die like a man 5 And like one of the leaders you will fall! V 1 [8] Arise God! 2 Rule the earth! 3 For you possess 4 All the nations! The Psalm above has been divided into a poetic makeup as follows: A B C B' A' Section I Section II Section III Section IV Section V Assembly / God rises-spt (judges) Address / gods confronted Address / chaos described Address / gods confronted Assembly / God rises-spt (rules) God stands up: Or, alternatively, God arises. The Hebrew used here for God is elohim In the assembly of El: There are three general uses of the term El in the Bible and related literature. The first is that it is often used to mean God. The second is that it can refer to the name of the Canaanite deity, El, who was head of the Syro-Palestinian pantheon. Or, alternatively, it might represent a common phrase meaning 'divine' particularly when used in the combination here "divine assembly". The usage is completely ambiguous. There is no difference in usage between one meaning and the other. It is perhaps intentional that this range of meanings suits both the initial use of elohim as God and the later use of elohim as divinities at the end of this section. |
