    • 1685 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The third view, and the main focus of this book, is the angelic view. The angelic view postulates that the sons of God were angels, although as previously mentioned they are not necessarily limited to just angels, more on that later. The phrase “sons of God” comes from the Hebrew words “beney elohim” or “beney ha-elohim”. “Beney” simply means “sons”. So what is an elohim? Elohim is often associated as one of the names of God, for instance, “In the beginning God (elohim) created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen 1:1). Elohim is actually the plural of el (or eloah).

    • 870 Words
    • 4 Pages

In v. 1-4 David makes his complaint and reason for the prayer of help (describing the wickedness of all), with an answer after every statement on what the Lord should do to those that commit the action described. Thus, v. 2 is answered, almost in the form of a syntax parallelism, by v.3—the same is true for vs. 4 & 5. v.5b—David induces Yahweh to intervene by stating, “I [Yahweh] will spring into…

    has come about relatively recently. The Bible itself claims that Moses wrote the Bible and the Church has believed this to be true since the beginning. It wasn’t until the Enlightenment and the Reformation that people began to question these things. The first person to question this was Jean Astruc.
