*Who Shall Descend Into Sheol? Romans 10:6-8 - Greek vs Peshitta* *Greek Romans 10:6-8 (KJV literal of Greek):* > 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down from above: > 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. > 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; *Peshitta Romans 10:6-8 (Murdock / Etheridge of Aramaic):* > 6 But the righteousness which is by faith thus speaketh, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, and bring down the Messiah? > 7 And who shall descend into the *deep of Sheol*, and bring up the Messiah from among the dead? > 8 But what saith it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith which we preach. One word difference that changes everything: Greek has "deep...

Isaiah 28:16 vs Romans 9:33 - Paul Did Not Quote LXX. He Fixed It. We studied chush vs chashah weeks ago. I do not believe Hebrew ever meant "to hurry." Modern scholars missed it. Paul didn't. FIRST HALF OF VERSE - What stone was laid: HEBREW MT Isa 28:16 - Behold Me! I lay in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner, a sure foundation LXX Isa 28:16 - Behold I lay for the foundations of Zion a costly, choice, corner-stone, precious Isa 8:14 MT - He shall be for a sanctuary, but for a stone to strike and for a rock to stumble over Romans 9:33 - Behold I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence SECOND HALF OF VERSE - What happens to believer: HEBREW MT Isa 28:16 - hamamin lo yachish - he who believes shall not be silent / ashamed / hide - NOT hurry LXX Isa 28:16 - he who believes on Him shall not be ashamed - ou me kataischynthe Romans 9:33 - he who believes on Him shall not be ashamed - ou kataischynthesetai What you see: Romans 9:33 first half is...

*BUKHRA - Openeth The Womb* Colossians 1:15 Peshitta: > *bukhra d-khol beryatha - Firstborn of all creation* Everyone reads "firstborn" as "first made." Torah never does. Exodus 13:2 - *Kadesh li kol bechor, peter rechem* - Sanctify to Me all firstborn, *openeth the womb.* - *rechem = womb* - *peter = openeth, opener, one who breaks open first* Bekhor / bukhra does not mean first created. It means *opener of womb.* The one who opens inherits, because he is heir. David was last-born of Jesse. God says Psalm 89:27 - I will make him My firstborn. Birth order is not the point. Birthright is. So who is *bukhra d-khol beryatha*? Not a created god. The Opener of heavenly womb. There is a heavenly bosom - John 1:18 - *Yhidaya d-i ba-ubba d-Abuhu - Only Begotten who IS in bosom of Father.* Present tense. Still in bosom while declaring Him. That bosom is deeper than our cove. Our cove has shallow edge where we stand, deep center where Father holds His own. We he...

*Return or Saved? The Full Spectrum of שׁוּב - Isa 10:22-23 / Rom 9:27-28* This is more paramount. We must focus on full spectrum meaning of *shuwb*. Modern translators split what Aramaic keeps together. *1. שׁוּב (shuwb) - Full Spectrum* shuwb does not mean only “return” as in travel. In Hebrew and Aramaic it is one action with three faces: - *To turn back* - physical return to land - *To turn back to Master Yah* - to be converted - *To turn from sins* - to repent Those who turn from their sins, *live, chay, survive.* That is why Greek translator always translates chay/life as *saved, salvation.* To live after judgment is to be saved. To return from exile is to be saved. In Aramaic, shuwb is translated by two roots: *תוב (tuv) - to return, to return again* *פנא (pna / tifnon / nitphanun) - to turn face, to turn back* Targum Jonathan proves this. Isa 10:21: > “the remnant which have not sinned, and are turned from sin [tavin me-chat'ah], the remnant of the house of J...

IN BOSOM OF THE FATHER *Qav (קַו) with Ab (עב) - What's Happening in the Bosom* Water deep in middle of inlet, shallow around edges. This is great example. We started with *John 1:18 - ho on eis ton kolpon tou patros (ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρός)* - who is in the bosom of the Father. *kolpos (κόλπος)* is not just bosom. It is bay, gulf, inlet, cove of water, fold of garment forming pocket. Aramaic Peshitta: *be-ubeh d-Aba (ܒܥܘܒܗ ܕܐܒܐ)* - in the *uba (ܥܘܒܐ)* of Father. *uba (ܥܘܒܐ)* - look at Hebrew letters: *ayin (ע) - eye, spring, fountain* *waw (ו) - hook, to connect* *beth (ב) - house, inside* Spring hooked into house - cove that holds water. Hebrew root is *ab (עָב)* - ayin-beth (עב). *ab (עָב)* - thick, thicket, dense, dark cloud that holds water - *Shemot 19:9 - be-av he-anan (בְּעַב הֶעָנָן)* - in thick cloud. *ovyi (עָבְיוֹ)* - thickness. *abot (עֲבוֹת)* - interwoven boughs. *ab (עב)* IS the bosom - thick hold that contains. *cheq (חֵיק)* - bosom - same idea ...

Before Adam was created, this is what the Creator said: *"Let Us make man in Our image"* - Gen 1:26 What image? Man is a twofold being: *1. Body* *2. Spirit* - which when combined become a living soul. Angels are also twofold: *1. There is a heavenly body and an earthly body - 1 Cor 15:40* *2. Angels are ministering spirits - Heb 1:14* The Ancient of Days is the angelic manifestation of Yehowah in heaven, sitting in judgment over the angels - Dan 7:9. Thus, He is also a twofold being: *1. Heavenly body* *2. Omnipresent Spirit* So when the Ancient of Days spoke to the angels He said: *Let US create man in OUR image* - right immediately, this meant as a twofold being. Yet this is not complete, because we are still being conformed to God's image. We are on the potter's wheel right now being shaped and molded into that perfect image - Rom 8:29. And the angels are just like the parent who tells their child: *WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!* Making the child a part of...

*Romans 3:4 - Paul Wrote zaka (ܙܟܐ) for zakah (זָכָה) - Greek Had To Flatten It To nikao (νικάω)* Greek says Paul quoted LXX. He didn't. LXX quoted Hebrew, then Paul quoted Hebrew, then Greeks had to flatten Paul to make Greeks understand. *1. Paul Wrote In Aramaic To Jewish Messianic Leaders In Rome* Romans is not a Gentile letter. Romans is to Jewish assembly in Rome - *Rom 1:7 - le-kulhon dabe-Roma (ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܪܘܡܐ)* - to all who are in Roma. Claudius expelled Jews - Acts 18:2 - Aquila and Priscilla. They return. Assembly split Jew/Gentile. Paul writes to leaders to settle it - *Rom 3:1-2 "What advantage hath the Jew? Much - to them were committed oracles of God"*. He writes *zaka (ܙܟܐ)* - not Greek. *Peshitta Rom 3:4:* > *d'tehwe kayen be-melayk wa-tezkhe kad daynin lakh (ܕܬܗܘܐ ܟܐܝܢ ܒܡܠܝܟ ܘܬܙܟܐ ܟܕ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܠܟ)* > "that You may be just in Your words, and be *zaka (ܙܟܐ)* when they judge You" Same root as Hebrew. *Ps 51:6 MT - Ps 51:4 Eng:* > *...

Here is the blog draft - fixed to Peshitta, no Greek: --- *The Two Goats of Yom Kippur Are One Offering - And Yeshua Is Both* *1. Are the goats required to be pure?* Yes. *Leviticus 22:19-22* - every offering must be *תמים - tamim*, without blemish. - *Passover - Ex 12:5:* *שֶׂה תָמִים - seh tamim* - a pure seh, and seh can be from sheep OR goats - *מִן־הַכְּבָשִׂים וּמִן־הָעִזִּים* - *Yom Kippur - Lev 16:5:* *שְׁנֵי־שְׂעִירֵי עִזִּים - two se'irei izzim* - shaggy he-goats. Must be identical per Yoma 6:1 - same color, size, value, bought together. Both presented *לִפְנֵי יְהוָה - before YHWH* Lev 16:7 - *Red Heifer - Num 19:2:* strictest - fully red, no defect, never yoked. Same purity principle, different fences. *2. Is one of those goat words used for demons?* Yes. *שָׂעִיר - sa'ir* = hairy one. *Lev 17:7:* > They shall no more sacrifice to the *שְׂעִירִם - se'irim* - goat-demons Same word as Yom Kippur goats. Isaiah 13:21, 34:14 - *sa'ir* dwelling in ru...

QAV Part 2 - Two Strands of the Same QAV - Conscience and Gospel* In Part 1 we saw *qav (קו)* become *qavah (קוה)* - 106 become 111 - line become circle - pi. That left a problem. If *qav (קו)* - measuring line - went out to all earth as Gospel only when apostles went - *barat qalahon (ברת קלהון)* - then what about before apostles? What about conscience? Paul himself says: > *Rom 2:14-15 - when Gentiles who have not law do by nature things of law, they become law to themselves - work of law written in hearts - conscience - suneidesis* That's also *qav (קו)* - but earlier. So there are *2 strands of same qav (קו)* twisted into one *qavah (קוה)* rope. *Strand 1 - qav (קו) 106 - without Heh (ה) - Creation / Conscience - before apostles* Psalm 19:1-4 has two halves - most miss this: > *v1-3: hashamaim mesaprim kevod El (השמים מספרים כבוד אל) - heavens declare glory of El - yom l'yom yabia omer (יום ליום יביע אמר) - day to day pours speech - ein omer v'ein devar...

*QAV - The Measuring Line That Circles The Sea* I've been chasing one word for months now. *qav (קו).* It won't let me go. Isaiah 28:10-12 first hooked me: > *qav laqav qav laqav (קו לקו קו לקו)* Precept upon precept? No. *Line upon line. Measuring line upon measuring line.* The theologians call it child's babble. It's not babble. It's the theology of measure. God teaches by line. To outsiders it sounds like gibberish, but it's measure. Then I saw it around the sea. 1 Kings 7:23 - Solomon's molten sea: > *10 cubits from brim to brim, and a line of 30 cubits compassed it round about - qav savav (קו סבב)* 10 across, 30 around. 30/10 = 3. That's *pie*. Pi. The *qav that goes around the sea* is pie. That same root becomes hope - and this is where Heh matters. > *qav (קו) = qof (ק) 100 + vav (ו) 6 = 106 - without Heh (ה) - open line, incomplete* > *qavah (קוה) = qof (ק) 100 + vav (ו) 6 + heh (ה) 5 = 111 - with Heh (ה) - line with breath...

*Was Yeshua Quoting Greek in Luke 4? No. He Was Reading Hebrew In Synagogue.* By John Lanclos So-called scholars say Luke 4:18 is LXX. Think. Would Yeshua read Greek LXX scroll on Shabbat in Nazareth synagogue to Aramaic Jews? No. He read Hebrew. Luke 4:16 - *ܦܬܚ ܟܬܒܐ - pthach ktaba - He opened the scroll* - Isa 61:1-2 - Hebrew scroll, not Greek. Look at what He actually read: > *וְלַאֲסוּרִים פְּקַח־קוֹחַ - v'la'asurim p'qach qowach - Isa 61:1* *פָּקַח - paqach - S6491 - to open - EYES ONLY* Not doors. Eyes. Every time - Gen 3:5 eyes opened, Gen 21:19 God opened Hagar eyes, 2 Kings 6:17 Elisha prayed open eyes. Paqach = eye opening. *קוֹחַ - qowach - same root - repeat - p'qach qowach = opening opening = WIDE OPEN - intensive* *אָסַר - asar / acar - S631 - ܐܣܪ - to be bound in any and every way - eyes bound shut, hands bound, prison bound - any binding* So Hebrew says: *p'qach qowach la'asurim - eye-opening wide opening to those bound* Dual meani...

Let's do both - here's a blog draft in your voice, and we can keep this chat as the conversation version underneath. --- *Title: Iyqa Raqa - The Rhyme They Deleted - Mat 5:22* Mat 5:22 AEIB *דכל מן דנרגז על אחוהי איקא... וכל דנאמר לאחוהי רקא* Most say *איקא - eike - without cause* is added to make it easier. I submit it is original because it rhymes. *ܐܝܩܐ - iyqa - S709 - without cause / empty* *ܪܩܐ - raqa - S20260 - empty head / I spit on you* *iyqa raqa* - same qa ending. Rhyme. Escalation: 1. Angry empty - in heart - *איקא* 2. Say empty - with mouth - *רקא* 3. Say fool - to damn - *ללא - lala* You need 1 and 2 to keep poetry. Greek saw *εἰκῇ / ῥακά* and thought doublet, deleted one. P67, Vaticanus delete *εἰκῇ* - breaks rhyme. Peshitta keeps rhyme because original was Aramaic wordplay. Greek variants prove Aramaic swing: - *ܐܝܩܐ* can be *without cause* OR *vainly* - Greek had to pick - some picked *εἰκῇ*, some omitted If Greek original, why create Aramaic rhyme? I...

Examine with me the most altered Hebrew Psalm ever. Why? To Hide the Messiah! Psalms 68 as compared to the ancient witnesses! 1. Let Elohiym arise, so that his enemies will be scattered, and so that those who despise him will flee from his presence. 2. Let all the wicked be driven away as smoke and vanish before the presence of Elohiym, and become as wax which is melted before the fire. See blog https://remnantstudies.blogspot.com/2026/07/ps-682-verified.html 3. But may the righteous be glad, when they [are given the strength to] triumph in the presence of Elohiym, and may they rejoice [in his pleasure] exceedingly. 4. Sing to Elohiym, make music to his name, Exalt and prepare the way for him who travels [from the eastern paradise unto] the western deserts, his name is YAH, [May the wicked be troubled by his presence, as] the righteous are triumphant and rejoice before him. See blog this shows how western deserts alone makes rational sense in context https://remnantstudie...

*How Do They Get Clouds From Arabot? You Can't. - Psalm 68:4* > Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. > Psalm 68:4 KJV Everybody loves to preach this as "Yah rides upon the clouds." It sounds good for end times. Coming in the clouds. But look at the Hebrew. סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבוֹת בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ Solu la-rochev ba'aravot beYah shemo Lift up, cast up a highway for Him that rideth *ba'aravot* - by His name Yah. What is *aravot*? Plural of *aravah*. Strong's 6160 - aravah: 1. desert, wilderness, steppe 2. plain, Arabah Brown-Driver-Briggs: > apparently North Arabian desert Isa 40:3, in general the steppe, often || midbar, Jer 17:6; Ps 68:5 It is everywhere a desert. Deut 1:1, Jer 2:6 "land of desert and pits," Isa 35:1 "the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice." There is no cloud in the root. The LXX...

*Isaiah 29:3 - Duwr is David. The LXX saw both.* I was looking at Isaiah 29:3. MT says: וְחָנִיתִי כַדּוּר עָלָיִךְ _ve-chaniti kaddur alayich_ And I will encamp as a circle around you. LXX says: καὶ κυκλώσω ὡς Δαυιδ ἐπὶ σὲ _kai kukloso hos Dauid epi se_ And I will encircle you as David. Everyone says LXX read Resh as Daleth. דור became דוד. Duwr became David. Simple scribal error. Resh and Daleth look almost identical. Case closed. But wait. Look again. LXX didn't just read David. They also read Duwr. Kukloso - I will encircle - where does that come from? It does not come from Chanah. Chanah חנה means to stoop down, to bend, to settle, to pitch a tent, to encamp. It has nothing to do with a circle. Zero. Encircle comes from Duwr. Duwr means circle, ball, to turn round. So LXX took Kaddur כדור and gave us TWO translations from the same consonants: 1. Duwr = kukloso - I will encircle 2. Duwd = David One Hebrew word translated twice. I don't think they dismissed Ch...

*Back to Yehowah: A Conversation* I started with a problem that’s been bugging me. The Greeks wrote the Name as IABE (Ya-beh) and IAOUE (Ya-oo-eh). But final Heh in Hebrew is almost never -eh. It’s always -ah. Yirmeyahu, Eliyah, Yesha’yahu - all -ah. So why would YHWH end in -eh in Greek? Greeks had Alpha for ah. They could have written IAOUA = Ya-ou-a. That would be perfect Yahowah. But they wrote E - eh. Maybe they had no rough breathing in the middle or end, so they couldn’t write the H. And that breathy final -ah sounded like -eh to a Greek ear. Or maybe the Samaritans they heard really did say Ya-beh with -eh, not Yah-wah. You pointed out: you can actually get Yeh-ow-ah straight from the pointing. And it’s eerily close to Yah-ow-ah. One dot of difference. And that’s true. The Leningrad points are: Yod + sheva = Yeh Heh + holam = ho Waw + kamatz = wah Final Heh = silent = Yeh-ho-wah. Read it exactly as pointed, no tricks. If you change sheva (eh) to patah (ah) on the Yod,...

*Yom Kippur — Two Goats, One Atonement* Lev 16:7-10 — Aaron takes two goats. One lot for YHWH, one lot for Azazel. Same enclosure. One offering. Two parts. *The Names:* _Az_ — _az_ [עז] — means goat. Also means strength and praise. Same word. Goat is the strong one. _Azel_ — _azal_ [אזל] — means to go away, to be removed, to be gone. To disappear to wilderness. _Azazel_ — _azazel_ [עזאזל] — Goat of Removal. The goat that goes away. Peshitta OT keeps the name — _la'Azazel_ — does not translate it to Lord. *Two Goats — Two Works:* *1. Goat for YHWH — slain — blood — the body* Lev 16:9 — the goat on which the lot for YHWH fell is offered as a sin offering. Blood brought inside the veil before the mercy seat. This is the body — the sacrifice — Yeshua as the Lamb — blood shed for YHWH. *2. Goat for Azazel — live — bearing — sent away* Lev 16:10 — the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell shall stand alive before YHWH to atone upon him, to send him away to Azazel to the wilder...

Here is a draft in your notes voice for Isa 29:1-2 — you can paste as is: --- *Isa 29:1-2 — Ariel — Foundation Mount of God shall become Hearth of God* We have been tracking Isa 28:16-20 — _hinn'ni yissad be'Tzion even_ — Foundation Stone laid — bed too short — garment too narrow — _matsa_ — pressed. Now 29:1 opens same city. > _Hoy Ariel Ariel qiryat chanah David sephu shanah al shanah chaggim yinqophu_ > Woe Ariel Ariel the city where David encamped — add year upon year — let feasts come around in circuit. > _ve'tsaqoti la'Ariel ve'hayta ta'aniyah va'aniyah ve'hayta li ke'Ariel_ Who is Ariel? LXX saves it — _ouai polis Ariēl_ — Woe city Ariel — they would not translate it as lion. Targum saves it — _qirta d'shara David_ — city where dwelt David. Why? Because Ariel is two things in one spelling — and Ezekiel 43:15-16 proves it — first instance without א, other two with א: *v15a — הַהַרְאֵל — _har'el_ — without א — Mountain o...

Isaiah chapter 28 as Hebrew compared to Greek LXX (LXX: ...) and Aramaic Peshitta (P: ...) and Aramaic Targums. _1_ Woe to crown glorious of drunkard Ephraim (LXX: crown of pride, hirelings of Ephraim) (P: shameful diadem of strength of his glory) and to garland shameful, army of his glory at head of valley of fatness (heavenly fatness / beautifully fertile) (P: which dominates at entrance of fertile valley) of those confused with wine (LXX: drunk without wine). _2_ Behold, the strong and mighty one for YHWH — as stream hail, storm destroying — as stream waters many, heavy, thick overflowing — He causes land to rest with power — (LXX: as great body water sweeping away soil, he shall make rest for the land) (P: I will give rest to this land by your hands) (Targum: people come against them to remove them out of the land into another land because sins in hands — army — Shalmaneser). _3_ With feet trampled crown glorious of drunkards Ephraim (LXX: hirelings beaten down with hands and fe...

Here is blog 6-9 in same voice — LXX vs MT / P difference is sharpest here — vomit vs covetousness: --- *Isa 28:6-9 — Judgment, Hirelings, and Tables — Vomit vs Covetous Counsel* We saw 1-4 — man's heavenly fatness — beautifully fertile hill they called heaven — early fig eaten while in hand — cannot produce — vs ground prepared by _shavah_ — pressing even — Divider who gives rest. Now 6-9 — priest and prophet — same hirelings — LXX keeps thread — MT / P keep vomit. *My translation 6-9 with glosses:* *6* And for spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back battle to gate (LXX: They shall be left in spirit of judgment for judgment, and for strength of them that hinder slaying) (P: same as MT). *7* But these also through wine have erred, and through strong drink are gone astray — priest and prophet have erred through strong drink, swallowed up from wine, gone astray from strong drink — they err in vision, they stumble in judgment (LX...

*Isa 28:1-4 — The Crown, The Hirelings, and Heavenly Fatness vs Heavenly Instructions* We have been in Isa 28 for weeks. V5, then 10-29. We found LXX did not understand supernatural context of 9-12 — _menuha_ and _marge'ah_ — Divider who gives rest. Now 1-4 sets up why. *My translation 1-4 with glosses:* *1* Woe! to crown glorious of drunkard Ephraim (LXX: crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim) and to garland shameful, army of his glory that at head of valley of fatness (heavenly fatness / beautifully fertile) (P: shameful diadem of strength of his glory which dominates at entrance of fertile valley) (LXX: flower fallen from glory on top of fertile mountain) of those confused with wine (LXX: those drunken without wine). *2* Behold, strong and mighty to Lord — as stream hail, storm destroying — as stream waters many, heavy, thick (כַּבִּירִים) overflowing — He causes to rest to land (P: I will give rest to this land by your hands) (LXX: he shall make rest for land) with power...

Here is your blog — starting with the Shavah translation as you asked: --- *Isaiah 28:29 — When You Press Level* > _This also — from with YHWH of Hosts it came forth — He makes wonderful counsel, He makes great the pressing-even._ That is Isa 28:29 if _tushiyah_ is from שוה — to press down hard to level, to set, to make stand. Not "excellent working" — but "great leveling." Not abstract wisdom — but the farmer's last pass with his foot and board that makes broken ground stand even, ready to grow. *1. The verse we all skip* Hebrew: > _gam-zot me'im YHWH tzevaot yatza'ah hifli etzah higdil tushiyah_ Traditional English: > This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom / working. [KJV / ESV] It closes the farming parable — 28:24-28 — does the plowman plow all day? No. Does he open and break clods all day? No. When he has leveled its face — _ki shivvah paneha_ — does he not scatter dil...

Isa 28:24-28 — Quick view *24* Does the plowman plow all day to sow? (P- does he plow all day, does farmer) Does he open and break up his ground? (P- turn over and break up) You are right — I missed it. v24 corrected: *24* Does the plowman plow all day to sow? (LXX- or will he prepare seed before working ground) (P- does farmer plow all day to sow) Does he open and break up his ground? (P- turn over and break up) LXX adds *prepare* — _proetoimasei_ — where MT has open and harrow — same idea you caught — breaking open IS preparing — LXX makes explicit what Hebrew implies — opening = preparing seed bed. *25* Is it not when he levels its face he scatters fennel (MT- black cumin) and cumin sows and casts wheat (MT- puts wheat in rows) and barley and rye (MT- barley marked and spelt) at its border (LXX- at your borders) *26* He is instructed in right judgment (MT- his God teaches him) his God shall teach him and they shall glory / praise (MT- He teaches him / LXX- and you shall rejoic...
