Bible Question:
Hi Forum, Any technical thoughts on the usage of the singular; why the translators may have done so? Ecc 12:1 KJV , NASB, ASV uses "Creator", singular, vs. the plural "Creators" as in the Hebrew. Also, in Isa 54:5 "Maker" vs. the plural "Makers" as in the Hebrew. eklektos |
Bible Answer: Greetings Eklektos! There are some textual issues, but most seem to take the word as a plural of majesty - as when a King speaks in the plural of himself. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
