Bible Note: Ray I think by capitalizing it changes the meaning. I have checked nearly every translation I could think of and none capitalize this, most agree it is a comparison between God and Man only. The Son of Man (Jesus) is never mentioned in this passage. Consider these two translations of the passage. Numbers 23:19 NLT God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Numbers 23:19 God’s Word God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. For your consideration and thought Ed |
