This type of Hebrew grammar process is called: There are many instances in the Bible where this Law or Rule can be found. A few of many examples are: It does not mean that there are two Abrahams. Saul was not two or more people, only one who had a very high rank and position in the land. See also Psalm Now for a brief moment I want to introduce some very important and fascinating facts.

European Kings and Queens and all Royalties refer to themselves in the plural.

Let there be light

During World War I and before all Germany army officers were always addressed in the plural. They use a plural of nouns, pronouns and verbs to refer to one individual. Here is another example from the Old Testament. The New Testament was by most accounts was originally written in Greek by Hebrew men Luke being the only exception.

The words were Greek, but all the grammar techniques were Hebrew.

Another New Testament example: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. To put it another way it is seven different technique's God will use with them to get each one back on the right track and path to be once again pleasing to Him and obeying the Word of God.

For a much more complete study of the word Elohim see my Bible study entitled: Us and Our - Elohim of Genesis explained: Eve Montano In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Then God said, "Let us make man [fn] in our image, after our likeness. Anonymous As others have stated, the "Us" appears to be the Triune God, speaking in consultation to create the pinnacle of creation, man. I say that man is the highest creation based on two Biblical teachings. I am aware of the verse that states that man is made lower than angels in Psalm 8: The first teaching is that man is made in the image of God, a teaching of both the Old and New Testaments.

No other creation was created bearing His image, as man was.

King James Version (KJV)

The second teaching is that man, and only man, can be redeemed by the blood of Jesus. No other creature, including angels, can be redeemed. God lets us know the value He places on human life by virtue of the Sacrifice He made to redeem man.

In the Torah, the phrase in Genesis 1: The original Latinization of the Greek translation used in the Vetus Latina was lux sit "light — let it exist" or "let light exist" , which has been used occasionally, although there is debate as to its accuracy. In context, the translation is " dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux " "And said God let there be light, and there was light".

GENESIS KJV "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."

Literally, fiat lux would be translated as "let light be made" fiat is the third person singular present passive subjunctive form of the verb facio , [2] [3] meaning "to do" or "to make". And light was made. Fiat lux or Sit lux appears in the motto and on the seals of a number of educational institutions, including:. The second half of the same verse, Et facta est lux appears on the seal of Morehouse College. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
