Hi sestir, I more understand it based on the usage of ΚΣ as it is used in the NT itself, and how it pertains to referring to Yahweh as a placement for His name. It's also based on the Septuagint, which in later manuscripts (earlier ones just substituted יהוה in Paleo-Hebrew) the nomen sacrum ΚΣ stoo...
One of the most controversial passages in the whole of the New Testament is what Paul has to say in Philippians 2:5-11, in which he talks of the Messiah, Yahushua, as existing of the "form" of God, but taking on the "form" of a slave, in the "likeness" of a human being....
Hi aminah, You need to look on the LLDSSDL for the images labeled fragments 3-8 for 4Q47. The following image is of Columns 1-2 of fragment 3 - the start of the second column is where Joshua 6:5 starts - http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/image/B-498970 Edit: The other two images y...
Interesting speculation, but there are over 30 instances of אדניו in scripture that refer to "his master" and not "his master s " - Gen 24:9, 10 (x2), 39:2, 3, 7, 8, 16, 19, 40:7; Exod 21:4, 6 (x2); Deut 23:16 (x2)... etc., etc. I could only find one instance that actually follow...

More or less. However I ...
Well before the question of whether Chronicles should be considered "Canon" can be assessed in full, one needs to determine what the original version of Samuel-Kings was: as there're more than a few differences between the Greek Septuagint Samuel-Kings and that of the Masoretic Hebrew Samu...
Okay - finally had time to look at this. I think we're looking at it reading: p967_est2_12.jpg αλειφομεναι εν ?? σμυρινω ελαιω I'm basing this on the combination of σ+μ seen in Esther 2:3 on the previous page: p967_est2_3.jpg Due to the mark between εν ?? σμυρινω, I'm not sure what the letter is bef...
I need to learn a scandinavian language. I'm quite clueless on them at the moment (I do know 'no' in russian: Nyet :P ). But this again highlights what I mean regarding the above in Galatians: it isn't following the common way Paul (and others) said and wrote things. Why this hasn't caused scholars ...
