Nehemiah:
Because of your research in Hebrew Matthew, of which I have an online copy, I was able to solve a seemingly impossible textual issue, that is Matt. 28:7 spoken by an Angel: “Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into ***Galilee. *** ” This region being 2 – 3 days from Jerusalem, was problematic since Yeshua met this His disciples that very same night in Jerusalem. In Hebrew Matthew the word Galilee is not in that passage which, indicates this must be the reading of the original text. Rabbis as you know try to pick apart these resurrection texts, maybe this will be one issue that we can put to rest, using the text of Hebrew Matthew. Thanks again for the excellent scholarship which you have provided us all for so many years…
I have been exceedingly impressed with your work for the last eight years when I first heard of you through Michael Rood’s Shabbat Night Live program. I just love your work on finding the true name of GOD! An issue in our Bible study has arisen about which I would like to ask you opinion. Isa 45:7 I form(H3335) the light,(H216) and create(H1254) darkness:(H2822) I make(H6213) peace,(H7965) and create(H1254) evil:(H7451) I (H589 ) the LORD(H3068) do(H6213) all(H3605) these(H428) things. (KJV+ version showing Strong’s Numbers.) The main contention is with respect to the translation of “make” in “and make(H1254) evil.” H1254 in Strong’s concordance defines the word as baw-raw , and can be translated as create, cut down, dispatch, make, select, or do. Many persons hold to the idea that because of this verse GOD creates evil, when it could just as easily be that Yehovah cuts down evil. Indeed, I do not find a second witness in scripture that confirms that Yehovah actually creates evil. On the contrary, in creation Eloyhim finds his creation in all instances good. In referring to light and darkness in Gen 1:18 “And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light(H216) from the darkness:(H2822) and God(H430) saw that it was good.(H2896).” Since Isaiah, speaking for Yehovah, contrasts light and darkness in the first part of 45:7 with peace and evil in the second part of the verse, it would seem He is using a poetic device of repeating two instances to contrast two states. Yet, by translating baw-raw as create rather than cut-down or dispatch there is instead an equivalence not a contrast. At least one Bible teacher I follow purports this view of contrasts. His view is that all things were created good, and that Satan, as a created being, fell into iniquity, and subsequently causes all mankind to fall into iniquity and sin through temptation. Therefore, it is Satan who perpetuates evil through sin, not Yehovah. We would contend that Yehovah forms light and dispatches darkness, and makes peace and cuts down evil. I would be very grateful for your view on this issue of translation. Thank you and Shalom.
