Bible Question (short): Mayest, Shalt , and Will.... |
Question (full): Has anyone noticed that in Gen 4:7 the very last phrase is different in KJV and the NASB? I wondered about this because the words are very important to me. I researched it and and found the original words translated directly from Hebrew were "thou mayest", not "thou shalt", or "thou will". I also looked up the definitions of the words, Shalt(shall)is used to impress a promise. IE: I shall miss you. You shalt be missed. Will is used to command or show intention. IE: I will be on time. You will be on time. However the word "mayest" is used to imply a choice. These are three completly different words, and used in this verse, have a different meaning to me. I am prone to believe that God has given me the choice of triumping over sin, not a promise or a command. I feel this because it is truer to the nature of ourselves. It is more than a promise, because promises can be broken, and it is more acceptable because it does not establish absolute authority. And it is not a forced concept in this context. I can choose. I have no false sense of security or a constant fear of condemnation. If i am to be condemned, it will have been my choice to do so. Not because I was insubordinate to God, and I cannot blame God becase he broke his promise to me. It places the resonsiblity in my hands, in my heart. What do you think? |
