Ezekiel 16:30: “How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious, whorish woman.” Am I missing something or did Ezekiel just call Judah a whore. There are three words in Hebrew for a whore or prostitute. None get rave reviews, but there appears
Numbers 12:13: “And Moses cried to Jehovah saying: “Oh, my God, I beg you give healing to her, I beseech you.” Imagine the next time you pray for someone to be healed, you lay your hands on that person and say “Abracadabra.” This is a term which has crossed over into English usage, picked
WORD STUDY – BESIDE Genesis 18:8: “And he took butter and milk and the calf he dressed, and set before them and he stood by them under the tree and they did eat.” Beside: Hebrew – Alihem: exaltation, rising above, upon, (in rare cases) beside. This is a very interesting passage of Scripture. Three angelic
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomin: John 8:32: “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” I used to love to have arguments –uh, discussions with my Jehovah Witness friends. Invariably we would approach an impasse such as John 1:1 which they render as “The Word was
WORD STUDY: LORD GOD Exodus 34:6: “And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.” Lord God: Hebrew – Jehovah El In reading the Bible we are constantly running across the phrase “Lord God.” This verse should give us some
WORD STUDY: MY LORD AND MY GOD John 20:28: “And Thomas answered and said unto him: My Lord and my God.” My Lord and My God – Hebrew: adoni alei, Aramaic: dari alahi. Idiomatic expression of endearment – My dearest. The passage in John 20:27-29 does not say that Thomas did touch the nail prints
WORD STUDY – HOLD Isaiah 41:13: “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Hold – Hebrew: chazak – Strengthen, confirm, restore. Various translations will say that God “upholds” your right hand, some will say he “takes” your right hand and some will
Word Study – Remember Zacar – Keep in mind, mention, remember Genesis 40:14: “Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get out of this house.” For 15 years Joseph kept Jehovah on his lips as he moved from a
WORD STUDY – Gird Gird – Hebrew: “azar” – To bind, to gird, girdle, belt Psalm 18:32: “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and makes my way perfect.” If you are following my “cliff hanger” adventure series: Through the Daleth on the Chaim Bentorah Facebook page, this word study may make more sense
WORD STUDY – YHWH YHWH – Hebrew: God Jehovah The word YHWH expressing the name of God in Hebrew is built on three words; hayah which means “was,” hoveh which means “is” and yiheyeh which means “will be.” This is to say that God lives in the past, present and future simultaneously. Albert Einstein, a
