    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    This is a helpful explanation but, if we are going to be true to the Hebrew language, we should regard LORD as the Father and the lord (not Lord) as Jesus Christ.

    What is causing confusion is the incorrect rendering of adoni in English. Incorrect English rendering - Lord. Correct English rendering -> lord.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    LORD (the standard English rendering of the Tetragrammaton) is God the Father. LORD / YHWH/ Yahweh is the God of Israel. LORD isn’t Jesus. It’s “lord,” not “Lord,” which means Jesus Messiah.

    God is at “thy,” the Messiah’s, right hand in verse 5. Messiah is sitting at the right hand of God in verse 1. The Messiah doesn’t have authority over Yahweh. Yahweh has authority over Jesus.

    “The Lord“ is God the Father, Yahweh. Who is ”thy”? The Meesiah, the Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    In verse 5, the Father is at Jesus’ right hand. Adonai is the God and Father of our lord (Heb. adoni) Jesus Messiah. Jesus is presently sitting at the right hand of his God and Father, just as verse 1 of the prophecy said that he would. Verse 5 shouldn’t throw us. God is always at the right...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    The English translation in verse 1 is incorrect. The correct Eglish rendering is “my lord”. Capitalizing the “L” is done when the Hebrew word is Adonai, not when the Hebrew word is adoni. You are correct when you say in parentheses that the word is adoni. The positions have been reversed in...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    NET, which renders the Hebrew word adoni properly in English, contains an excellent note on Psalm 110:1. https://netbible.org/bible/Psalms+110 Yahweh is speaking in a prophetic oracle to the Ideal Davidic King, the Messiah. “Yahweh says to [Jesus of Nazareth] …”, not “Yahweh says to [Yahweh] …”.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Anyone who argues that it’s not adoni in verse 1 isn’t being truthful. In Psalm 110:5 the Hebrew word is Adonai, as correctly reported. It is referring to Yahweh, not to the Messiah. God, in this verse, is at the human king’s right hand.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    https://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt26b0.htm This side by side of Psalm 110 is correct in both Hebrew and in English. Yahweh is speaking prophetically to someone (Jesus of Nazareth) who isn’t Yahweh. Anyone who isn’t Yahweh isn’t the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel and the Messiah.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Heb. Adonai (Eng. “Lord”); Heb. adoni (Eng. “lord“). Translations which render Psalm 110:1 as if the LORD (Yahweh) is speaking to the “Lord” are misreporting the Hebrew. Yahweh isn’t ever identified as adoni in scripture. I pointed this out to the Lockman Foundation (publisher of the NASB95)...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    That’s a good take on the word. It occurs 195 times in the Hebrew Bible and is a non-deity title in all occurrences. In Psalm 110, Yahweh is speaking prophetically to someone, an unnamed person, who is not Yahweh. That someone, we learn in the New Testament, is Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah.

    No, thank you. I was hoping to read your own commentary on the word.
