Context — God's Promise to Israelgenerated

6I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.
7So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8Yes, it is coming, and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day of which I have spoken.
9Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.

Ezekiel 39:7 emphasizes God's commitment to revealing His holy name among His people, Israel. This promise comes in the context of restoring His honor and preventing its desecration. The passage highlights the significance of God's name and identity, which is central to the covenant relationship with Israel and the understanding of His holiness in contrast to the nations.

The Key Word שֵׁם, shemgenerated

The word שֵׁם (shem) signifies 'name' and encompasses identity, reputation, and honor. It is often used in Scripture to denote the character and authority of God, emphasizing the importance of His name in worship and daily life.

In this verse, it is a construct form, indicating possession or association, thus referring to 'My name.' The emphasis is on God's intention to make His name known, which is crucial for understanding His relationship with Israel and the nations.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In this study, we reference the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses make known for אוֹדִ֗יעַ ('o.Di.a'), aligning with the KJV, ASV, and YLT.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb אוֹדִ֗יעַ, 'o.Di.a' governs the main clause, indicating God's action. The structure includes several noun phrases and prepositional phrases that elaborate on the object of His knowledge and the context of His people.

The emphasis in Hebrew word order places God's action first, followed by the object and the context, highlighting the significance of His name being known among His people.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates שֵׁם as ὄνομά (onoma), which also means 'name' but can imply a broader sense of reputation and authority. This choice reflects an understanding of God's name as integral to His identity.

The Greek word γνωσθήσεται for אוֹדִ֗יעַ indicates a future action of making known, aligning with the Hebrew intent but also suggesting a recognition that may extend beyond Israel.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Israel

The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).

It became the national name of the twelve tribes collectively. They are so called in (Exodus 3:16) and afterward. It is used in a narrower sense, excluding Judah, in (1 Samuel 11:8; 2 Samuel 20:1; 1 Kings 12:16) Thenceforth it was assumed and accepted as the name of the northern kingdom.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.
