Hi All!
I am trying to understand the meaning and implications of the verb npsh.
The 3 OT occurrences all seem to indicate recovery from
tiredness/exhaustion. But the most troubling instance is Ex 31:17 which
talks about God being refreshed.
Is this an anthropomorphism? If so, in what sense? Any ideas?
