I don't know if this has been discussed.

Can we see YHWH as equivalent to ANI as used in Isaiah
47:8,10? This would make YHWH idiomatic for
"superiority" or the like.


John C. Wilking


Dear John,

Why would "ani" here be equivalent to YHWH? The "ani" ("I") here (at least as I read it) is "the daughter of Babylon", a self-satisfied bitch who considers herself superior to anyone and anything.
