Bible Note: Hi Reformer Joe, Your point about translating Hebrews 4:8, "For if Joshua..." is a good one. Joshua is indeed speaking these words in Joshua 22:4, "And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them..." This shows the importance of using a version with capitalization of Deity, or at least taking note of who is speaking. Heb 4:8, "For if Joshua had given rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that." Note also the difference in Hebrews 4:7 between the NKJ and the NASB. The NKJ makes it clearer by rendering it, "...again He designates a certain day..." Excuse me for jumping in on your discussion. From the heart, Ray |
