Are kruvim also angels? Well, what I meant was, are kruvim also mal'akhim? Thing is, if I asked that, many people do not know what mal'akhim are. They are only familiar with its common (albeit not only) English translation, "angels." I am aware that not all mal'akhim are spiritual messengers of God (what we normally refer to as "angels"). Yes, indeed, many mal'akhim in scripture are simply human beings delivering a message on behalf of another individual. |

What gender does the pronouns have that denote ruach or pneuma? @itpastorn: It wouldn't be worthwhile to compare Tanakh vs. NT because Hebrew lacks a neuter gender, while Greek does not. |

What does “put the branch to their nose” in Ezekiel 8:17 mean? This is actually one of the tikkun soferim. Originally, it is said to have been written "My nose" (i.e., God's nose) rather than "their nose." Radak's commentary: רוצה לומר אפי, אלא שכנה הכתוב והוא אחד משמונה עשרה מלין שהם תיקון סופרים. |

Genesis 3:12: What is the underlying Hebrew word translated into English as “with me” (in KJV)? @NoamSienna: That doesn't seem to be the standard. וַיִּקָּחֶהָ in Genesis 8:9, meaning "and he took her." No mappik. There are many, many other such examples. |

Where can I find Greek and Hebrew plain text sources? I've not searched for such files before. I wish I could be of more help. |

What does Genesis 3:16 literally say? Well, Hebrew, just like English, Greek, and pretty much every language, conjugate verbs in 1st person, 2nd person, and 3rd person, as well as singular number and plural number. Hebrew also conjugates them according to the gender of the subject. In any case, search "Biblical Hebrew Grammar" on Amazon. There's one by Gary Pratico (?) that's decent. |

Genesis 3:12: What is the underlying Hebrew word translated into English as “with me” (in KJV)? @MonicaCellio: I noticed the ה at the end of נָתַתָּה. That's not the actual 2ms form. It has a pronominal suffix at the end of it. The regular form is נתת. But, consider Deut. 26:10: הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר־נָתַתָּה לִּי ("of the land which You gave to me"). The feminine suffix at the end of נָתַתָּה corresponds back to הָאֲדָמָה. So, it is redundant, but that's Hebrew. Literally, it says, "...of the land which you gave it to me." We wouldn't say that in English, but it's a Semiticism. |

Did Jephthah actually sacrifice his daughter? God did not command many things. People still did them. |

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? "Messiah's Torah" --- think of "the Law of Christ" in the New Testament. |
