  • Self-Control - Fruit of the Spirit

    Self-Control - Fruit of the Spirit
    2023/09/20
    This is our final episode of season 2, the last fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5, self-control! This word doesn't have a Hebrew equivalent, so we did our best using the Greek word Enkratia. Check out our show notes below, and enjoy the episode. Enkratia (ἐγκράτεια) “Self-Control” Why start with the Greek? Some Greek words are connected to concepts in Hebrew but not directly to a Hebrew word. This is the case with enkratia. We have to work backwards to understand where Paul is coming from, and be careful not to read our western thought into the scriptures. Note: Some of the concepts Paul talked about were for Greeks and there was no 1:1 comparison to the words in Hebrew. They connected multiple moral concepts into one word. Paul must be understood as a Jew writing to non-Jews, applying Torah to their moral framework. We are not Rome, so how we apply Torah may look different from how Paul wrote... and this is OK! Strongs translates Enkratia: Temperance, self-control (the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, esp. his sensual appetites)From the root, enkratosstrong, robust, having power over, possessed of (a thing), mastering, controlling, curbing, restraining, controlling one's self, temperate, continent En – in, by, with. Kratos – power, dominion, strength Plato thought enkratia was a paradox: “Now the phrase ‘master of himself’ is an absurdity, is it not? For he who is master of himself would also be subject to himself,” (Plato Republic, 430e) Aristotle considered enkratia to be a word in need of a qualifier, “As therefore we do not call bad doctors and actors bad men, because neither kind of incapacity is actually a vice, but only resembles Vice by analogy, so in the former case it is clear that only self-restraint and lack of restraint in regard to the same things as are the objects of Temperance and Profligacy are to be deemed Self-restraint and Unrestraint proper, and that these terms are applied to anger only by analogy; and so we add a qualification, ‘unrestrained in anger,’ just as we say ‘unrestrained in the pursuit of honor’ or ‘gain.’” (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 7.4.6) From this we learn that the Greeks felt enkratia was either insufficient without a qualifier (Aristotle), or applied to the whole scope of existence (Plato). It was seen both as a quality of restraint and of mastery. Hebrew concepts Self-Governance (Mashal – Rule) Go to the ant, you slacker—consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or mashal. 8 Yet it prepares its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. (Proverbs 6:6-8)If you do well, it will lift. But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the doorway. Its desire is for you, but you must mashal it. (Genesis 4:7)Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have mashal over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression. (Psalm 19:14)Better to be slow to anger than a mighty warrior. One who has mashal over his temper is better than one who conquers a city. (Proverbs 16:32)Ruling over one’s own self is seen as a moral imperative. The scriptures are clear that “every man doing right in his own eyes” is disastrous, but ruling over your own body with God’s priorities is life-giving. Set-Apart Life (Palah – Severed/separated) But know that Adonai has set apart (palah) the godly for His own. Adonai will hear when I call to Him. (Psalm 4:4)“But on that day I will palah the land of Goshen, where My people are dwelling—except no swarm of flies will be there—so that you may know that I, Adonai, am in the midst of the earth. (Exodus 8:18)I praise You, for I am awesomely, wonderfully palah! Wonderful are Your works— and my soul knows that very well. (Psalm 139:14)Being set apart means being used for a specific purpose. This does not mean the purpose is evident, nor that the purpose can be chosen by our own will. Singleness of Purpose (Chanak – Dedication) When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he rallied his trained (chanak) men, those born in his household… (Genesis 14:14a)“The officers are to speak to the troops saying, ‘What man has built a new house but has not chanak(ed) it? Let him go back to his house—otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would chanak it. (Deuteronomy 20:5)King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people chanak(ed) the House of God.Chanak a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)Every aspect of a set-apart asks the question, “Set apart for what?” The one doing the separating is the one who has the authority to make that declaration. Surrender of Will (Bachar – Chosen) Who is this man who fears Adonai? He will instruct him in the way he should choose (bachar). (Psalm 25:12)He bachar our inheritance for us,… (Psalm 47:5a)Then He ...

  • Humble - Fruit of the Spirit

    Humble - Fruit of the Spirit
    2023/07/01
    In the seventh episode of our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we analyze the characteristics of the word Humble or Humility in Hebrew, 'Anav'. Follow along with our show notes and review any references at the bottom. Enjoy! Anav (עָנָו) ‘Humble’ Defining Anav (עָנָו): How anav is translated according to Strongs:meek (13x), humble (5x), poor (5x), lowly (2x), very meek (1x). poor, humble, afflicted, meek, needy, weak (Strong, 2022) Afflicted/downtrodden in the sense that one who is anav is in a humble place and may be walked over. Usage and lessons of the word from scriptures: Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than anyone on the face of the earth. (Numbers 12:3) וְהָאִישׁ מֹשֶׁה ענו מְאֹד מִכֹּל הָֽאָדָם אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָֽה הָאֲדָמָֽה עַל־פְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר הָֽאָדָם מִכֹּל מְאֹד ענו מֹשֶׁה וְהָאִישׁ Ha’adamah al-panim Asher Ha’adam M’kol M’od Anav Moshe V’ha’ish [of] the earth [were] on the face which the man[kind] [among] all very [was] humble Moses And the man This should direct our memory immediately to the Genesis 1-3 story, and the first of humankind “Adam” and the fact that in that story the man (Note: Ha’adam, ish v’isha shows up in ha’adam’s poem)Adonai Elohim sent him away from the Garden of Eden, to work the ground from which he had been taken. (Genesis 3:23)Moses is the only human that is specifically called anav in this way by the Lord. “The nature of this process is perhaps best summed up in the singular description the Torah gives of him: “Moses was very humble, more than any human being on the face of the earth” (Num. 12:3). The Hebrew formulation—kol ha-adam—suggests not simply that he was the humblest man, but that his humility transcended the human range. Moses’ essential difference from the whole of humanity lay in his “humility,” his anava.” (Zornberg, 2016) Moses is the only human that is specifically called anav in this way by the Lord. Significance of the Hebrew “avon” (עֲוֺן) as a “twisting” of anav (עָנָו). The man was placed in the garden to be representative of God, but he twisted his purpose. Use in the Psalms: Sing praises to Adonai, who dwells in Zion. Declare His deeds among the peoples. 13 He who avenges blood remembers. He will not forget the cry of the anavim… 19 For the needy will not forever be forgotten, nor the hope of the anavim perish forever. (Psalm 9:12, 13, 19)Let the anavim eat and be satisfied. Let them who seek after Him praise Adonai. May your hearts live forever! (Psalm 22:27)But the anavim will inherit the land, and delight in abundant shalom. (Psalm 37:11)From heaven You pronounced judgment. The earth feared and was still— 10 when God rose up to judgment, to save all the anavim of the land. Selah (Psalm 67:9, 10)The Ruach of Adonai Elohim is on me, because Adonai has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the anavim. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, (Isaiah 61:1) All these references show us that God has a special consideration for those who are anav. Also that they are uniquely able to receive what He gives New Covenant The word “meek” comes from the word Praus/Prautes Xenophon of Athens (c. 430 BC) primarily used praus in various forms to describe the behavior and training of horses, but also described men having the same quality. It seems that he used it to mean “even-tempered” or “tame”Aristotle (384–322 BC) also used praus in various forms to describe the character of man: “Now we praise a man who feels anger on the right grounds and against the right persons, and also in the right manner and at the right moment and for the right length of time. He may then be called gentle-tempered (praus), if we take gentleness (praotēs) to be a praiseworthy quality—for ‘gentle’ (praus) really denotes a calm temper, not led by emotion but only becoming angry in such a manner, for such causes and for such a length of time as principle may ordain although the quality is thought rather to err on the side of defect, since the ‘gentle-tempered man’ (praus) is not prompt to seek redress for injuries, but rather inclined to forgive them.” (Rackhman, 1934) “Blessed are the praus, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am praus and humble in heart, and ‘you will find rest for your souls.’ (Matthew 11:29)(Take my yoke as your yoke and learn of me that I am anai and good and pure of heart and you shall find rest for your souls,…)(Matthew 11:29) (Howard, 1995) “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King is coming to you, humble and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” (Matthew 21:5)Don’t let your beauty be ...

  • Faithfulness - Fruit of the Spirit

    Faithfulness - Fruit of the Spirit
    2023/07/01
    After a long break, we're back with another episode in the Fruit of the Spirit series! Faithfulness, or Emunah, is the next word we will be discussing. Join us with a cup of coffee or on your drive home and learn about the roots of faithfulness and how to walk in step with Holy Spirit and bear good faithful fruit. Show Notes: Aman, Emunah (אֱמוּנָה ,אָמַן) ‘Faith, Faithfulness’ (Note: Hebrew words that are active words, not passive: Shema) Defining Emunah (אֱמוּנָה): How Emunah is translated according to Strongs:faithfulness (18x), truth (13x), faithfully (5x), office (5x), faithful (3x), faith (1x), stability (1x), steady (1x), truly (1x), verily (1x).Adjective: firmness, fidelity, steadfastness, steadiness Emunah comes from the root “Aman” (אָמַן), where we also get the word “Emet” (אֱמֶת) Aman: to support, confirm, be faithful(Qal)to support, confirm, be faithful, uphold, nourish, foster-father (subst.) foster-mother, nurse, pillars, supporters of the door (Niphal)to be established, be faithful, make firm, to be carried by a nurse, lasting, confirmed, established, sure, verified, confirmed, reliable, faithful, trusty (Hiphil) to stand firm, to trust, to be certain, to believe in, trust, believe Emet: firmness, faithfulness, truth, sureness, reliability, stability, continuance, faithfulness, truth, as spoken, of testimony and judgment, of divine instruction, truth as a body of ethical or religious knowledge, true doctrine, adverb: in truth, truly (Strong, 2022) (Note) Branches of aman – (Emunah +Emet) Ancient Semitic context for Aman (Note: Ancient Hebrew, pictorial relationships) Strength, power, authority Water, chaos, Seed, continuation, next generation From this we can visualize aman as a strength that provides assurance of continuation through chaos and disorder Usage and lessons of the word from scriptures: Then [Abraham] emin in Adonai and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:6) This teaches us that aman is a precursor for imputed righteousness. “…And your youngest brother, bring to me so that your words can be y’amnu—and you won’t die.” So they did. (Genesis 42:20)Then Moses said, “But look, they will not ya’aminu me or listen to my voice. They will say, ‘Adonai has not appeared to you.’” (Exodus 4:1) This shows us that aman is an act of confirmation, or information that requires direct action: If Joseph’s brothers, or if Moses could prove their claims, that would necessitate action. Moses’ hands grew heavy, so they took a stone, put it under him, and he sat down. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands were emunah until the sun went down. (Exodus 17:12)Adonai will repay everyone his righteousness and his emunah. For Adonai gave you into my hand today, but I refused to lay my hand on Adonai’s anointed. (1 Samuel 26:23)This suggests that we should understand emunah as the physical outworking of aman. (Note: If “aman” necessitates action, “emunah” is the action that flows from it.) Behold, the puffed up one – his soul is not right within him, But the righteous will live by his emunah. (Habakkuk 2:4) (Note: He does not say “aman” here, but “emunah”. Habakkuk links faith with works here)Emunah – physical manifestation of the reality. Emunah is a godly attribute, but one that humans are called to as a way of life. Use in the Psalms: “Help, Adonai! For no one godly exists. For the emunim (aman) have vanished from the children of men.” (Psalm 12:1)For the word of Adonai is upright and all His work is done in emunah. (Psalm 33:4)Trust in Adonai and do good. Dwell in the land, feed on emunah (Psalm 37:3)I will sing of the love of Adonai forever. To all generations I will make known Your emunah with my mouth. 3 For I said, “Let your lovingkindness be built up forever!The heavens—let Your emunah be made firm there!” (Psalm 89:2, 3) New Covenant The word for aman and emunah in Greek is pistis (πίστις) We see a challenge in a New-Covenant rendering of “faith” because there is only one word that is used for two Hebrew words. (Note: also a complicating factor is that in the Church, when we say “Faith” sometimes we’re just using shorthand to say “Christianity”) Charis and Pistis In 1st century Rome, society often ran on a patron/client system.“Patronage had its own vocabulary. Words we usually consider particularly Christian terms, “grace” and “faith”, were common parlance before Paul commandeered to them. The undeserved gifts of assistance the patron offered were commonly called charis (grace and gift). The loyalty the client offered the patron in response was called pistis (faith and faithfulness).” (O'Brien, 2012) (Centurion) Now when Yeshua heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Amen, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great pistis!
