Linguistics In The Bible Part 1: Bowreka And Osayik

Shalom beloved reader, brother or sister.

You may hear from some people who claim to be Christian or Trinitarian that these words bowreka and osayik are plural relating creators or makers. While it is true that the Young's Litteral Translation (YLT) does translate Ecclesiastes 12:1 the word creator as the plural of creators, and it is term that according to the biblehub site for the strongs concordance the word bowreka is said to be plural construct, however every translation other than the YLT does not translate the word as creators, rather creator singular. What about the word Osayik? Does any other translation of this word translate it as makers plural or do they translate it as maker singular? If you look this up on biblehub it is again said to be plural construct in the word however every translation I have seen on this translates it as singular maker not the plural makers including the YLT version.

You may however hear the argument that Yehovah is a singular being which is God made up of three distinct persons who are the Father, Son and Holy Spirit but these three persons are not each other, the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is not the Father according to supposed Christians who are Trinitarian in mind set, that these three persons are all the creators but they would likely use the word creator because they are all one being God, so the God that all three persons are is the singular creator and this is why they translate the word creator as singular not plural, this argument is flawed because this is not the reason why it takes singular it is because the context is specifically talking about a singular person as Yehovah as the creator God as seen in the context of the bible, there is no passage saying Yehovah is a they that created you or Yehovah they are your creator, singular creator but they being that one creator, the second person plural pronoun form of speech as the word "they" is not used for the plurality of persons as for example "they are your creator".

So why then is the word supposedly a plural construct? Did you know that verbs or nouns, certain words in Hebrew have pluralities to them such as Elohim? When a word in Hebrew ends in "IM" or "OTH" it is plural in the word, similarly the word "panim" is plural, but let us look at the words and see why these plural's can also translate as singular. Let us first start with panim which literally means faces but if you use context it would make the plural take the singular form for example "That lady has a beautiful face" you wouldn't use the plural when speaking generally for the singular person, unless she had some form of unfortunate disability, however if you said "I saw all their faces" it would take plural because the context is plural, but the context of one person would then take the one face in general. Let us then look at a very imporant word you will see in Hebrew which is Elohim which is plural ending "IM" however it should generally translate as gods, but why is it then Moses is made elohim to Pharaoh in Exodus 7:1 when he is just one person? Is Moses multiple gods to Pharaoh? No. What about Behemoth which seems to be speaking of a dinosaur singular with a great tail like a tree but yet it is plural, firstly you speak of one dinosaur so it would take singular, so even if osayik and bowreka were for some reason plural it would not be creators or makers because of the context of who or what is being spoken of, that being Yehovah the Father God not a Triune being made up of three persons and one person in those three has a God which is only the Father not a Trinity but he the Son is apart of the Trinity but he is not his own God, confused? I would be also if I had not studied this enough to know it is an illogical false God which is called the Trinity.

I hope this has opened your eyes to the truth of the Bible and edified you in your search of the wisdom of our beloved God Yehovah the Father and of our Messiah the son of God Yehoshua (Jesus) the Messiah (Christ). Shalom. Taylor Stand On Scripture.
