Re: Was OT originally in Greek?
The context of Psalms 89:12 are the mountains, Tabor and Hermon, , the context is how these mountains are filled with Snow with the cold of the north [Job 37:9], The most interesting place in the Hebrew Bible is Mt. Hermon, it as so many different names and poetry assigned to it. Thalassa (or Thalat...

Re: Whose crucifixion was Seneca describing in DE IRA? Jesus'?
The Latin word cruce is not a cross, the definition is ' a gallows, frame, tree ' , the same is true for σταυρός , so none of these words suggest a 'cross-shape', that people have in mind , however the Greek word for Cross is χιάζω, a word never used in the New Testament, so where are people getting...

Re: Book of Isaiah deciphering.
Identifying ' Alexander the Great ' with Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1 means most of the events in the Bible can be moved forward 229 years, which solves a major problem with Jewish history, the history between Alexander and the time of the Maccabees ( 332 BCE to 150 BCE ) , very little is known about Jews b...

Read the fuller Psalms Psalm 89:12 The north-west fattened Tabor and Hermon Job 37:9 ' Cold of the North North in Job 37:9 is actually מְזָרִים [Mzrim] which is rather similar to מִצְרַיִם [Msrim], see Exodus 9:23 ' LORD rained hail upon the land of Msrim ' , a weather phenomena associated with the ...

Red Sea is a Mountain
In the Hebrew Bible, there is no 'Red Sea', however the term translates from יָמָּה סּוּף , However יָמָּה doesn't always refer to a Sea, but to the Western direction Psalms 89:12 The north-west thou hast created them This verse is similar to Genesis 1, tsaphown (North) yamiyn (West) Bara ( Filled) ...

Re: Was OT originally in Greek?
[wiki]The Hebrew word shamayim is constructed of two parts: sham (שָׁמַ) derived from Akkadian samu meaning "sky" or "lofty", and Hebrew mayim (מַיִם) meaning "water". In Genesis 1:6 Elohim separated the "water from the water". The area above the earth was fi...

Re: Was OT originally in Greek?
I consider Isaiah , Ezekiel and Songs of Solomon to be the most original books in the Tanakh and can be used to decipher Genesis. Genesis 1:6 as some strange language that mentions 'Upper Waters, Lower Waters, under the firmament and above the firmament ' and this cryptic language can be found in on...

Re: Was OT originally in Greek?
I was only illustrating how ridiculous this question is by mentioning it's previous proponent here. The simple answer is no. it is a very difficult question that requires balanced knowledge of both Hebrew and Greek, If you studied Hebrew all your life, It's all you know and thus little reason to st...
