[Steve Miller] You're very welcome. Thanks for the good question on what I am interested in. > > I could only find Jeremiah 14:17 that says "...and you will say to them this word > (this thing)" and Jeremiah 23:38 "...because you said this word (this thing)". > > I don't think it would mean a righteous man rules over the fear of G-d, but he is the > ruler of the fear of G-d. It's just a wild guess. I don't think every phrase in the > Hebrew Bible has to appear twice to be possible. [Steve Miller] What do you see as the difference in meaning between "rules over the fear of G-d" and "is ruler of the fear of God"? I don't see much difference. Anything that is a doctrine in the Bible is repeated 2 or 3 times according to the principle of 2 or 3 witnesses. "The Bible interprets the Bible" is a maxim for both Jews and Christians. At least how I was understanding "ruler of the fear of God", it would require other witnesses in the Bible. Every phrase does not need another witness, but it helps if a similar structure was used somewhere else. > > Kenneth Greifer [Steve Miller] Sincerely, -Steve Miller Detroit www.voiceInWilderness.info No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.
