NASB | Hebrews 12:25 ¶ See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 12:25 ¶ See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God's will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven? [Heb 2:1-4] |
Subject: Who is "him?" |
Bible Note: Why does the NASB not capitalize "him" if this pronoun refers to God? This makes me wonder if it is a reference to Hebrews 1:1 - as "God spoke . . . in the prophets". I also am reminded of Jesus' words in the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:31 - "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" It is interesting to note that "Prophets" in this passage is capitalized. Just wondering, that's all! |
