David goes on to say that the Lord abides forever, his throne is established for judgment and He will judge righteously. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed and for those who are in times of trouble. The Lord does not forsake those who seek Him. David cries out for the Lord to see his affliction and the reason is the Lord does not forget the cry of the afflicted, those who are persecuted unjustly. He repeats that he will tell of all His praises and rejoice in the Lord\u2019s salvation. The wicked will return to the grave, all the nations who forget the Lord.

In this week\u2019s opening verse from the Hebrew bible on <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 9<\/span>, says <\/span>\u05d0 \u05dc\u05b7\u05de\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e6\u05bc\u05b5\u05d7\u05b7 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05dc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05de\u05b4\u05d6\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05d5\u05b4\u05d3:<\/span> and the English translation states <\/span>\u201cFor the choir director; on Muth-labben.

The phrase may indicate the motivation for writing the Psalm and means either <\/span>\u201cthe death of Labben,\u201d<\/span> of <\/span>\u201cthe death of a son.\u201d <\/span> <\/a>Easton\u2019s dictionary states this may refer to Absalom (<\/span>2 Samuel 18:33<\/span>) or to specify the type of musical instrument or the name of an air instrument (tune) to which the Psalm was sung. It is interesting while looking at Ginsburg\u2019s Masoretic text, there is a circulus located above the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea<\/span> \u201cal-mut\u201d to indicate that there is a variant spelling on these words in the various manuscripts on the Psalm according to the critical apparatus (marginal masorah). The Masorah is a system of critical notes on the external form of the Biblical text. (<\/span>Jewish Encyclopedia<\/span>) <\/span>\u201cThis system of notes represents the literary labors of innumerable scholars, of which the beginning falls probably in pre-Maccabean times and the end reaches to the year 1425 AD.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

Tehillim \/ Psalms 8<\/span><\/p>\n

For the choir director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. 9:1 I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. 9:2 I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 9:3 When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You. 9:4 For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously. 9:5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 9:6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. 9:7 But the Lord abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, 9:8 And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. 9:9 The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. 9:11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds. 9:12 For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. 9:13 Be gracious to me, O Lord; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, 9:14 That I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. 9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. 9:16 The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah. 9:17 The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget God. 9:18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. 9:19 Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before You. 9:20 Put them in fear, O Lord; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

9:1 For praise, concerning the death of the man who went out between the armies. A hymn of David. another targum: For praise, concerning the sweetness of the sound by a son. A hymn of David. 9:2 I will sing praise in the Lord\u2019s presence with all my heart; I will tell all of your miracles. 9:3 I will be glad and rejoice in your word; I will praise your name, O Most High. 9:4 When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish before you. 9:5 Because you have accomplished my vindication and my judgment; you sat down on the throne of the righteous judge. 9:6 You rebuked the peoples of the Philistines; you destroyed Goliath the wicked; their name you erased forever and ever. 9:7 And when the enemy fell, his forces were obliterated, and their fortresses were laid waste forever, and as for their cities, you destroyed the memory of them forever. 9:8 But as for the word of the Lord, his seat is in the highest heaven forever; he has established his throne for judgment. 9:9 And he shall judge the people of the earth in righteousness; he will judge the Gentiles in uprightness. 9:10 And the word of the Lord will be strength to the poor, strength in times of distress. 9:11 And those who know your name will look at your hope, because you have not abandoned those who seek you, O Lord. 9:12 Sing praise before the Lord who made his presence rest in Zion; tell his deeds among the Gentiles. 9:13 For he avenges the innocent blood; he remembers the, he does not neglect the complaint of the humble. 9:14 Pity me, O Lord; see my pain caused by my enemies, you who lift me up from the entrances of death. 9:15 So that I may tell all your praises in the entrances of the gates of the assembly of Zion; I will exult in your redemption. 9:16 The peoples have sunk in the pit that they made; in the very net they concealed, their feet are caught. 9:17 Manifest before the Lord is the judgment he executed: through the works of his hands, the wicked man stumbled, the righteous will rejoice forever. 9:18 The wicked will return to Sheol, all the Gentiles who neglected the fear of the Lord. 9:19 For the needy man is not forever neglected; the hope of the humble will not perish forever. 9:20 Arise, O Lord, may the wicked son of man not grow strong, may the Gentiles be judged in your presence. 9:21 Put, O Lord, fear on them; let the peoples know that they are a son of man forever.

Tehillim \/ Psalms 9<\/span><\/p>\n

9:1 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works. 9:2 I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High. 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence. 9:4 For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness. 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever. 9:6 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise, 9:7 but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment. 9:8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness. 9:9 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction. 9:10 And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee. 9:11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations. 9:12 For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor. 9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction which I suffer of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation. 9:15 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken. 9:16 The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause. 9:17 Let sinners be driven away into Hades, even all the nations that forget God. 9:18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever. 9:19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee. 9:20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men.

The <\/span><\/a>Masorah is collection of commentary on the Hebrew text of the Tanach (OT). The term \u201cMasorah\u201d is taken to be the fixation of the text of the Hebrew Bible in form and pronunciation. According to Ginsburg\u2019s Masorah, the following note is made concerning these words <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea<\/span> \u201cIn another book <\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> and delivered upon him formally two forms and this is confirmed in the first edition of the entire Bible, Soncino 1488, Second edition, Naples circa 1491-1493, Third edition of the Bible, Brescia 1494, First edition of the Rabbinic Bible by Felix Pratensis, four Volumes fol. Bomberg Venice 1517, and Bible 4<\/span>0<\/span>, Bomberg Venice 1521.\u201d<\/span> Therefore the conclusion can be made that this word occurs in other Masoretic texts written with the maqqef \u201c-\u201d as either <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea<\/span> or without the maqqef as <\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span>. It is interesting that in Ginsburg\u2019s Hebrew bible, we find this variant spelling in David\u2019s Psalm of praise to the Lord. Searching the Hebrew bible for occurrences of the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> results in finding the following verses that contain this word. <\/span><\/p>\n

Studying these various occurrences of the word we find that depending upon the context of the verse the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> may be translated as a reference to <\/span>\u05e2\u05dc\u05de\u05d4<\/span> \u201cmaiden.\u201d<\/span> Note that in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 68:26<\/span> and <\/span>Song of Solomon 1:3, <\/span>the context of the sentence requires the translation of <\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> to be \u201cmaidens.\u201d Also, <\/span>1 Chronicles 15:20<\/span>, the Hebrew text states <\/span>\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cwith harps upon alamoth\u201d<\/span> and the English translators wrote<\/span> \u201cwith harps tuned to alamoth.\u201d<\/span> Alamoth (<\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span>) appears to be related to the harp or psaltery but its specific meaning has been lost. Therefore, in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 9:1<\/span> the translators choose to transliterate the Hebrew text rather than to attempt to translate the root meaning of the word. According to the Scriptures in the Tanach, the meaning of Alamoth (<\/span>\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span>) requires context, the context of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 9:1<\/span> leaves its meaning vague and difficult to translate.

(EMC)<\/span> The Aramaic translation leaves questions on the meaning of <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05dc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05df<\/span> translating these words to refer to a man who went out between armies or the sweetness of the sound of a son. How exactly are the rabbis understanding this verse and why is it translated into Aramaic in this way? <\/span><\/p>\n

Following the introductory title of the Psalm, David begins his Psalm saying <\/span>\u05d1 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc-\u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05e0\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8: \u05d2 \u05d0\u05b6\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b8\u05da\u05b0 \u05d0\u05b2\u05d6\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df: <\/span> 9:1 I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. 9:2 I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. (NASB)<\/span> Here David says that he will tell stories (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b2\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>) of all of God\u2019s miracles (<\/span>\u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05e0\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span>). The Lord has worked mightily in David\u2019s life and he desires to praise the Lord. At the end of <\/span>9:3 <\/span>in the Hebrew bible, David uses another circumlocution for the name of God using the word Elyon (<\/span>\u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span>) Meaning <\/span>\u201csuperior, supreme, superb, upper, top, utmost, over, paramount, predominant, preeminent, preponderant, prepotent, top, topmost, transcendental, uppermost, chief.\u201d<\/span> Note that the English translators understood this as a circumlocution and translate Elyon as \u201cAlmighty\u201d which is the meaning of the word. The first occurrence of this word in the Hebrew bible is found in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 14:18<\/span>. Interestingly, this is also the location of the first priest of God in the Scriptures. The Scriptures state in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 14:18<\/span> saying <\/span>\u05d9\u05d7 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05e6\u05b6\u05d3\u05b6\u05e7 \u05de\u05b6\u05dc\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05dd \u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05dc\u05b6\u05d7\u05b6\u05dd \u05d5\u05b8\u05d9\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05df \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05db\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df:<\/span> \u201cAnd Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.\u201d (NASB)<\/span> Note that in this sentence, the Hebrew word <\/span>\u05db\u05d4\u05df<\/span> (Cohen \/ Priest) is derived from the word <\/span>\u05db\u05d4\u05df<\/span> \u201ckahan\u201d<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto serve as an attendant, or a servant, to mediate, or to officiate.\u201d<\/span> According to the Scriptures, this is the earliest mention where a man operated in an intermediary role on behalf of the Lord God Almighty. In <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 14<\/span>, the role of the priest is clearly laid out in scripture saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05db\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df:<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cand he was a priest of God Most High.\u201d<\/span> The name of the priest was Melchizedek (<\/span>\u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05e6\u05b6\u05d3\u05b6\u05e7<\/span>) meaning<\/span>\u201cking of righteousness\u201d<\/span>who stands to mediate for Abraham on behalf of the Most High God. The role of priest functions as an intermediary on behalf of someone else and as an intermediary the priest prevents the wrath of God from coming upon the people. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the Hebrew bible, the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> (Elyon) occurs 32 times, 8 times in the <\/span><\/a>Torah, once in <\/span>Joshua<\/span>, once in <\/span>1 Kings<\/span>, 19 times in <\/span>Psalms<\/span>, twice in <\/span>Job<\/span> and once in <\/span>2 Chronicles<\/span>. Statistically speaking, the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> (Elyon) is used more frequently in the Psalms than any other book of the Bible. In the verse from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalm 9, <\/span>the word <\/span>\u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> (Elyon), David is using this word as a <\/span><\/a>circumlocution for the name of God saying <\/span>\u05d0\u05b2\u05d6\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span> \u201cI will sing praise to Your name \u2018Most High\u2019 God\u201d Studying the Name of God, it is interesting that in the Torah it was not until <\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 6<\/span> that God revealed Himself and His name using the YHVH. Prior to this, the patriarchs knew God only by \u201cEl Elyon\u201d or \u201cEl Shaddai.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019\u2019s examine Parashat Miketz (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 41:1-44:17<\/span>) and take a closer look at how the patriarchs knew the Lord God Almighty. The narrative picks up in Parashat Miketz where Israel sends his children back to Egypt and Jacob prays for his children saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05ea\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7 \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d0\u05b2\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b5\u05e8 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05df \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05db\u05bc\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05db\u05b9\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05db\u05b8\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> 43:14 and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.\u2019 (NASB) <\/span> Here, Jacob <\/span>calls upon the name of God as \u201cEl Shaddai\u201d (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span>) the name of God as \u201c<\/span><\/a>El Shaddai\u201d means \u201cthe all sufficient God\u201d so Jacob acknowledges the all sufficiency of God and seeks for His help. The Lord who helped him in his past, who made the promise of the covenant at Bethel when he left Eretz Canaan, and reaffirmed the covenant at Bethel on his return back to the Promised Land, Jacob prayed believing the faithful God of his fathers will help him in His compassion to save his children.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

Bereshit \/ Genesis 43:11-15<\/span><\/p>\n

43:11 Then their father Israel said to them, \u2018If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds. 43:12 \u2018Take double the money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake. 43:13 \u2018Take your brother also, and arise, return to the man; 43:14 and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.\u2019 43:15 So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

This Targum was called \u201cTargum Yerushalami\u201d in medieval times and was also labeled \u201cTargum Jonathan\u201d at one time in reference to Jonathan ben Uzziel. Targum Neofiti was produced from a group of Crypto-Jews living in Southern Italy. The Aramaic translations on this passage in the Torah we find the translators duplicating the Hebrew text to say that Abraham was calling on the name of God as <\/span> \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span>(El Shaddai). In <\/span><\/a>Targum Neofiti, the translators choose to translate the Hebrew text to say <\/span>\u05d5\u05d0\u05dc\u05d4<\/span> \u05e9\u05de\u05d9\u05d0<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cand the God of Heaven.\u201d<\/span> Here in Neofiti the rabbinic translators choose to use a <\/span><\/a>circumlocution for <\/span> \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7<\/span> (El Shaddai). Mentioned earlier, using software to search the Hebrew text, we can see there is quite a contrast on those who call upon name of God as <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc<\/span> \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (El Shaddai) verses the <\/span><\/a>tetragramaton. <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc<\/span> \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (El Shaddai) is used very infrequently (w.r.t. <\/span>\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/span>) suggesting there may be something we need to examine a little closer on Israel\u2019s choice of the Name of God. The translators of the Targumim reproducing <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (El Shaddai) in the Aramaic translations also should peak our curiosity. Let\u2019s look at four occurrences of calling on the name of God as <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> \u201cEl Shaddai\u201d in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 17:1, 28:3, 35:11, and 43:11-15 <\/span>and attempt to give a plausible explanation for the use of the name over against the Tetragramaton in the overall flow of the Hebrew narrative up to this point. <\/span><\/p>\n

In these verses, in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 17:1<\/span>, God declares his name as <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (El Shaddai) and tells Abraham to walk before Him blamelessly. In <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 28:3 and 35:11<\/span>, the name <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (El Shaddai) is connected to being fruitful and multiplying in the earth (<\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b6\u05da\u05b8 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b8 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05dc \u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span>) as a reference to the seed (descendents) and having children. The singular form of the word <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc<\/span> (God) produces 4,368 results however it would take some work to distinguish between the use of the word as a preposition <\/span>\u201cto, toward, at, into, in direction of, onto, unto\u201d <\/span>from the use of the masculine noun as a reference to <\/span>\u201cGod\u201d <\/span>or on its use as a reference to a false \u201cdeity.\u201d The Hebrew name of God (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc<\/span>) is derived from the root word meaning <\/span>\u201cmight, strength, and power.\u201d<\/span> The primary use of this root word (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc<\/span>) in the Hebrew Scriptures is (i) \u201cgod\u201d referring to pagan or false gods, (ii) \u201cGod\u201d referring to the true God of Israel, (iii) \u201cthe mighty\u201d as a reference to men or angels, and (iv) as a preposition, a word used to express the relationship between two words (grammar). When El (<\/span>\u05d0\u05dc<\/span>) is used in reference to the true God of Israel it is qualified by additional words that further define the meaning that distinguish him from the false gods of the land such as what we see here <\/span>\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> (<\/span><\/a>El Shaddai) the all sufficient God. These titles for God are written in the \u201cconstruct form.\u201d The \u201cstatus constructus\u201d or \u201cconstruct state\u201d is a noun form that occurs in Semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, and occurs when a semantically definite noun is succeeded by another noun in a genitive relation to the first. In the Hebrew text from Parashat Miketz we find the construct form of the name of God as \u201cEl Shaddai\u201d which means the \u201call sufficient God.\u201d In <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 17:1 and 35:11 <\/span>God chose to reveal Himself using this distinctive name saying <\/span>\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cI am El Shaddai,\u201d<\/span> \u201cI am the all sufficient God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

In the rabbinic literature, commentary is written stating that Shaddai (<\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9<\/span>) is a contraction of a phrase or an acronym.

The first judgment is a reference to judgment on an individual basis and the second is a judgment or ruling in a broader sense (against the people and\/or enemies) like what is done in a court of law. The use of the word <\/span>\u05d3\u05d9\u05df<\/span> provides the description of the judgment of a king who sits in judgment, this is consistent with the remainder of the verse that states <\/span>\u05d9\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8 \u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b4\u05e1\u05bc\u05b5\u05d0 \u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05e4\u05b5\u05d8 \u05e6\u05b6\u05d3\u05b6\u05e7<\/span> \u201cyou sit upon Your throne as a righteous judge.\u201d <\/span>The attribute of righteousness (<\/span>\u05e6\u05b6\u05d3\u05b6\u05e7<\/span>) is given to the judge (<\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05e4\u05b5\u05d8<\/span>) who is the Lord God Almighty, this is the characteristic nature of God, the God of righteousness. The use of these two words <\/span>\u05d3\u05d9\u05df<\/span> and <\/span>\u05e9\u05e4\u05d8<\/span> reveal to us that God is the judge of our sins and He has the position of authority as God and Creator to judge the people of this Earth (the enemies of David). The Lord God is righteous and He will judge righteously when He gives His judgment between sin and righteousness, even in the case of judging the world (the unsaved peoples) for their sins. <\/span><\/p>\n

David then states as a result of the judgment of God <\/span>\u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8 \u05d2\u05d5\u05b9\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d0\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8 \u05e8\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e2 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05b8\u05dd \u05de\u05b8\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b8 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05d5\u05b8\u05e2\u05b6\u05d3: \u05d6 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05d9\u05b5\u05d1 | \u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc \u05d7\u05b3\u05e8\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05dc\u05b8\u05e0\u05b6\u05e6\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e0\u05b8\u05ea\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d1\u05b7\u05d3 \u05d6\u05b4\u05db\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05dd \u05d4\u05b5\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4:<\/span> 9:5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 9:6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. (NASB)<\/span> In the rebuking of the nations and the destruction of the wicked, David believes that this means God has blotted out their name forever and ever. The blotting out of the name draws a parallel to the words of Moshe in Parashat Kit Tisa (<\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 30:11-34:35<\/span>). In <\/span><\/a>Parashat Ki Tisa, Moshe says in <\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 32:32<\/span> \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd-\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c2\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b8\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd-\u05d0\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05df \u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05de\u05b4\u05e1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc<\/span> saying <\/span>\u05d0\u05dd \u05ea\u05d9\u05e9\u05d0<\/span> \u201cif you will carry, lift, bear, endure, or suffer\u201d<\/span> \u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b8\u05dd<\/span> \u201ctheir sin.\u201d<\/span> Based on the Hebrew text Moshe is asking God to forgive the peoples sin in a very unusual way. The translators of the NASB understood this to mean <\/span>\u201cif You will forgive their sin\u201d<\/span> as it is translated in English (NASB). Interestingly, Moshe is asking God <\/span>\u201cto carry, bear, endure, and suffer\u201d<\/span> the sins of the people for them in a way that results in the forgiveness of sins. Moshe qualifies his statement by saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd-\u05d0\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05df<\/span> \u201cand if not\u201d<\/span> \u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05de\u05b4\u05e1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc<\/span> \u201c<\/span>erase\/destroy me from your book that you have written.\u201d<\/span> The word <\/span>\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> comes from the root <\/span>\u05dc\u05de\u05d7\u05d5\u05ea<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto destroy, wipe out, and erase.\u201d<\/span> Moshe asks if God will not forgive their sin; then He should blot his name out of the book of the living too. The Lord responds saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc-\u05de\u05b9\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05d4 \u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d7\u05b8\u05d8\u05b8\u05d0-\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b6\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05e1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9<\/span> \u201cthe one who sins I will erase\/destroy from my book.\u201d<\/span> The Lord is saying that the individual person that sins will be removed from His book. Understanding this from the Torah text, the enemy of David, whom God has blotted out, has come to ruin, cities have been rooted up and removed, the very memory of them has been destroyed (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b8\u05d1\u05b7\u05d3<\/span>). This is what happens to those who are blotted out of the book of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord sees the unjust affliction of the righteous; he remembers the afflicted and lifts up the afflicted from the gates of death. David states he will tell of the praises of the Lord at the gate of the daughter of Zion (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b2\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05dc\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05b7\u05ea-\u05e6\u05b4\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/span>). Sitting at the gate of the city is known biblically as sitting at a place of power. The one who controls the gate is the one who has the power to allow someone in or out of the city. Note how God has power over the gates of death (<\/span>\u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05de\u05b8\u05d5\u05b6\u05ea<\/span>). Sitting at the gates enabled one to know everything that is going on in the city, especially that of a walled city. The Scripture from <\/span><\/a>Parashat Vayishlach (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 32:3-36:43<\/span>) reveal the importance of the city gates (<\/span>note that all who passed through the gate of the city was circumcised<\/span>). In God\u2019s Kingdom, the gate is the only way whereby we gain access to the Lord. Yeshua said in <\/span>John 10:1 \u201cI tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. (NIV)<\/span> Yeshua then says in <\/span>John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. (NIV) <\/span>and in <\/span>John 14:6 <\/span>Jesus answered, <\/span>\u201cI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (NIV) <\/span> In <\/span><\/a>Parashat Vayishlach, all of the men who entered in and went out through the gate of the city must be circumcised according to their agreement with the sons of Jacob. Here in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 9<\/span>, David understands the power of the gate and the power of God not only to overcome his enemies but to overcome the power of death in God\u2019s act of lifting him up from the gates of death (<\/span>\u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b0\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05de\u05b8\u05d5\u05b6\u05ea<\/span>).

Payne Smith: A Compendious Syriac Dictionary<\/span> says <\/span>\u05de\u05de\u05e2\u05dc\u05e0\u05d9<\/span> is taken to mean the <\/span>\u201caction of entering,\u201d <\/span>David was in the action of entering death and the Lord lifted Him up and saved his life. <\/span><\/p>\n
