In consonant form the two would be the same. I wonder if seeing them as the same is also relevant to the meaning of blessed or happy. | |

But fair use suggests I should whet your appetite instead with: "According to Mowinckel, there is no difference between the words 'ashre and barukh, but according to Kraus the "more secular" 'ashre should be distinguished from the sacral-solemn barukh. (H.-J. Kraus, Bibischer Kommentar, X/1, 3)" | |

| Aug 10, 2015 at 15:06 | comment | added | Susan | Interesting point... though possibly to some extent LXX-isms rather than “in the NT...suddenly”? This particular issue (μακάριος/εὐλογητός) I suspect is secondary to the Hebrew; the equivalences with ʾašrê/bārûk are pretty much 1:1 in the LXX, and much of the μακάριος language in the NT is recorded speech in the gospels, presumably translated, or referential (to various extents) to the OT, also translated. That’s why I went for this first. | |
| Aug 10, 2015 at 14:47 | comment | added | fumanchu | I can't speak for the Hebrew, but I look forward to the Greek question you're going to ask next. I've lost count of the number of Greek words which have an ordinary translation until they appear in the NT, where they suddenly require an extraordinary translation: blessing, glory, righteousness, prayer, grace, gospel... | |
