Bible Question:
I see Joshua 22:22 as pivotal in understanding the book of Joshua. How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Hi Ray, Since nobody has responded to your Hebrew translation I am sending the following to you: You wrote concerning Jos 22:22: "How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse?" NOTE: the brackets [] and (numbers) that are inserted are mine. Jos 22:22 NASB "The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! [ El(1) Elohim(2) Yehovah(3), El(4) Elohim(5) Yehovah(6) ] He(7) knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD [ Yehovah(8) ] do not save us this day! The count is 8. Commentary: Jos 22:22: The Lord God of gods - The original words are exceedingly emphatic, and cannot be easily translated. (àì àìäéí éäåä(font unreadable by forum font limitations)) El Elohim Yehovah, are the three principal names by which the supreme God was known among the Hebrews, and may be thus translated, the strong God, Elohim, Jehovah, which is nearly the version of Luther, der starcte Gott der Herr, “The strong God the Lord.” And the Reubenites, by using these in their very solemn appeal, expressed at once their strong unshaken faith in the God of Israel; and by this they fully showed the deputation from the ten tribes, that their religious creed had not been changed; and, in the succeeding part of their defense they show that their practice corresponded with their creed. The repetition of these solemn names by the Reubenites, etc., shows their deep concern for the honor of God, and their anxiety to wipe off the reproach which they consider cast on them by the supposition that they had been capable of defection from the pure worship of God, or of disaffection to their brethren. (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible) NOTE: The font system on this forum does not allow the for the correct font to be used, therefore the above is as close as can be with the forum's font limitations. terrib |
