Exodus 3:14

BEHOLD THE HAND. BEHOLD THE NAIL.

BEHOLD THE HAND. BEHOLD THE NAIL. When Moses asked what he should tell Israel, God answered with a name. “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM” Exodus 3:14 KJV In Hebrew, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. “I AM WHO I AM.” The word Ehyeh comes from the Hebrew verb haya

Hebrews 2:14

THE KINSMAN REDEEMER

THE KINSMAN REDEEMER One of the coolest pictures of Jesus in the Old Testament is found in the book of Ruth. The Hebrew word is גֹּאֵל, go’el. A redeemer. Under the law, when poverty cost a man his property, a close relative had the right to buy it back. That redeemer had to be r

Genesis 1:1

THE WORD YOUR BIBLE LEAVES UNTRANSLATED 11,000 TIMES

THE WORD YOUR BIBLE LEAVES UNTRANSLATED 11,000 TIMES There’s a tiny Hebrew word sitting twice in the very first verse of the Bible that your English translation doesn’t show you. אֵת et Here’s Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew. בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ Beresh

Job 11:12

THE BIBLE DOESN’T FLATTER STUPIDITY

THE BIBLE DOESN’T FLATTER STUPIDITY Job 11:12 is savage. “For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.” Job 11:12 KJV The Hebrew word translated “vain” is נָבַב, nabab. It means hollow or empty. Zophar is talking about an empty headed man who still think

Psalm 46:10

BE STILL DOESN’T MEAN “SIT QUIETLY”

BE STILL DOESN’T MEAN “SIT QUIETLY” “Be still, and know that I am God...” Psalm 46:10 KJV I’ve always read this verse like God was saying, “Calm down, get quiet, and remember who I am.” That is part of it, but the Hebrew goes deeper. The words translated “be still” are: הַרְפּוּ

Malachi 4:2

HEALING IN HIS WINGS:

HEALING IN HIS WINGS: This is one of those places where the English translation hides a connection that jumps out once you look at the Hebrew. Malachi closes the Prophets with this promise about the coming Messiah. “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness ar

Hebrews 1

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD WAS YAHWEH:

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD WAS YAHWEH: I read past the Angel of the LORD for years without thinking much about it. Once you start comparing the passages, though, it gets hard to call Him just another angel. The Hebrew word mal’akh simply means messenger. Jesus is not a created angel.

Genesis 1:1

Exodus 3

HEBREW LETTER STUDY: ALEPH

HEBREW LETTER STUDY: ALEPH In God’s Image. I wanted to start this Hebrew study album with aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Most people just see it as the Hebrew version of “A” and keep moving, but aleph carries a lot more than that. It stands at the head of the alp

Joy: שִׂמְחָה (simchah)

Joy: שִׂמְחָה (simchah) (Chara) χαρά is derived from the Greek verb χαίρω (chairō), meaning "to rejoice" or "to be glad." In the New Testament, "chara" is used to describe a deep, abiding sense of joy and gladness that is rooted in spiritual realities rather than external circums
