He said. She said.
May 19, 2022
"The
LORD said..." is a frequent expression from the Hebrew Bible.
Interestingly, the word translated "said" comes from several Hebrew
words which have subtly different meanings. In future posts we will
explore AMAR (אָמַר), DAVAR (דָבַר), NAAM (נָאַם), NAGAD (נָגַד), PARAS
(פָרַשׂ), and the many ways the Hebrew Bible speaks of speaking. It
will be a thrill ride...as much as you could expect from a nerdy
exploration of word nuances.
