Is “wait” in Isaiah 40:31 active or passive? Your suggestion of "waiting at table" is an artefact of English. "Wait on" is not now as common as a synonym of "wait for", but it exists. |

Is “wait” in Isaiah 40:31 active or passive? The example is in Qal; the entry you quoted from Strong gives only the basic meaning ("to wait, look for, hope, expect") for the Qal, the other meanings being given for other binyanim. |

Ezekiel 44:5 Mark Well The first is an imperative, "Set your heart". The second is the imperfect, use for the future, "And you will set your heart". But I don't get the nuance of why. |

Did Moses have an Egyptian name? The root mose had an important role to play in the decipherment of Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Champollion was examining a cartouche on the Rosetta Stone which should contain the name "Rameses", and recognised a sign he had previously identified with the Greek genethlia, meaning "birthday celebrations". He realised that in Coptic, the root misi or mose means "to be born", and conjectured that the character in question had that pronunciation and meaning. |

Unfamiliar metaphors in Hosea 14:6-7 I generally have difficulty seeing what relevance sensus plenior has to anything whatever. |

Does the Bible mention unicorns? Ah yes, I forgot about sensus plenior. I suppose I should have recognised it. |

Does the Bible mention unicorns? I can't find ראם meaning "rise" in my dictionary, (the normal word is קם) but I'm prepared to accept there might be such a word. קרן can indeed mean "shine" as well as "horn". But the text says קַּרְנֵי רֵמִים with the first word in the plural construct and the second word in the indefinite plural. So even with your unobvious interpretations of the roots the meaning would be something like "shining things of risers". |
