Kanna shamayim erets Names of God - part 57 Possessor of heaven and earth Although my Bible, the ESV, has the Hebrew of Genesis 14:19 as being "possessor of heaven and earth" I do not think that is clear enough from the context here. The context of heaven, or heavens as shamayim is plural, is …

Hoseenu Names of God - part 55 Our maker 40 Blogs of Lent: 40 The same meaning in English as last week's blog on this, but it is not really the same thing at all. Eloah 'Ashah was about a God who created me, Hoseenu is about transformation. Like a potter takes a lump of …
