HH: The translation of the NRSV, NIV, and KJV simply accepts the reality that he lived and died.

JCR: Fair point. But it also accepts the reality that Abraham lived and died and yet will always be considered the father of many nations.




HH: What verse do you have in mind that is relevant to this discussion? ...


How about Genesis 17:5? I would have expected you to find that one, Harold. Of course he wasn't the father of many nations before he died, for at that time he had only a few descendants, not whole nations of them. So he must have been that after he died.


HH: I saw the verse, but it does not use "hayah."

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
