Bible Note: Greetings Ethan! You are correct that the word 'elohim' is used in Ps. 8:5. But, the Septuagint translated the word as 'angels' and almost all modern translations have followed suit. This would be a tricky decision if it were not for Heb. 2:7. Since the New Testament is inspired, and it used 'angels' for it's rendering of Ps. 8:5, we are justified in using 'angels' in Ps. 8:5, even though the usual meaning would be God. This is an excellent example of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
