• Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; I Samuel 13:14: “But now thy kingdom shall not continue; the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart.” We all know that this man after God’s heart was David.  Second to the question as to what version I of the Bible I would recommend (the original) is

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 17:8: “Keep me as the apple of your eye, Hide me under the shadow of your wings.” The idiom “apple of the eye” is really an English idiom ie., a reference to something or someone who is most precious to you.  The construction of this phrase is interesting.  In

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar: Psalms 22:26: “The meek shall eat and be satisfied, they shall praise the Lord that seek Him; your heart shall live forever.” This is Hebrew poetry. This poetic verse has three thoughts.  To follow a poetic discipline, these three thoughts must somehow be connected to each other. Yet in the

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Proverbs 8:17: “I love them that love me; and those  that seek me early shall find me.” This is a little odd in the Hebrew.   “I love them” is in an imperfect form, hence it should correctly be rendered as “I will love them”.    Of course no one will translate

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomim: John 19:13: “When Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.” This morning I read this passage in the book of John and really became troubled over

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 18:10: “And Sarah heard it in the tent door which was behind him.” I was reading in an ancient rabbinical work which noted that there was no preposition in the original text before the word “door.”   Rabbi Shimon in this ancient text translated this as “Sarah heard the opening

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; “Psalms 68:6a: “God setteth the solitary in families.” The KJV makes this passage rather ambiguous, which is a good thing as the use of the particular Hebrew words indicate a remez that there is a much broader understanding  Other translations tend to create a solitary (pun is completely intentional) interpretation

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 15:9-10:  “And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.  And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid one against another; but the

  • Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Isaiah 30:20: “Although the Lord has given you bread of distress and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.” The word to give is in an imperfect tense.  This is something the Lord will give.
