Bible Question: Do we know what the word "know" ment in Hebrew at this time? |
Bible Answer: Hi br2ms, Chapter 3 is pretty self-explanatory about what it means to know the Lord. It means that the Lord revealed Himself. 1 Samuel 3:7, "Now Samuel did not yet know the **Lord, nor had the word of the *Lord yet been revealed to him." 1 Samuel 3:21, "And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, because the Lord revealed **Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the *Lord." The **stars and *stars are mine for comparison. May I say also in passing that the word "lord" should be capitalized here in your question. I would want to reveal to you that there is a difference for instance between the "lords" of the Philistines in 1 Samuel 7:4-7 and the Lord alone that we serve. Welcome to the forum.
