Philip, The fulfilment of biblical prophecy and critique of people's beliefs/practices is not open for discussion on B-Hebrew. On this forum, we want to keep discussion focused on the language and literature of the Hebrew Bible in its ancient context. Religious beliefs/practices of those outside the literature is not an appropriate subject for discussion here. You may find other forums where this would be a permitted topic of conversation.
GEORGE ATHAS Co-Moderator, B-Hebrew Sydney, Australia From: Philip Hardy <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, 3 August 2012 2:53 PM To: B-Hebrew <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [b-hebrew] יהוה vs הבעל Hello. My Name is Philip A. Hardy. I have noticed that in most instance in the King James Bible where The word BAAL is or any english word(s) that derived from the same Hebrew word that BAAL derived from, namley בעל, the original Hebrew almost always has "הבעל". This I believe is best conveyed or rendered in Enlish as "the owner", "the husband", "the master", or "the lord". Now where is found היהוה only once and possibly could be be tranlated "he the life", conversley is found הבעל thirty eight times. Now if הבעל can be translated "the lord" and the name "יהוה" is not transliterated as is "בעל" but is (mis)translated as "The Lord" and Certain persons choose not to "proclaim the name" or "Publish the name" as the word says we should, then could it be that This is a fulfillment of the prophecy found in JER 23:26-27 "Jer 23:26 How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart;Jer 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. wherein BAAL is really הבעל "The Lord" or "...as their fathers have forgotten my name for "The Lord"." Any insight, conveyed musings, or constructive criticisms would be welcome.
