Although I haven't said so verbally, I have questioned his statement that it is "ordained". - However, "ordained" in the OT really means "commanded". {4} - Other translations for "ordained" {4} - Laid down (NIV) - Charged (NLT) - Commanded (ESV, KJV, CSB, WEB) - Ordained (BSB, NASB) - Demand (NET) - It is clear in the NT that Jesus commanded a lot of things such as the Great Commission. However, I don't see anywhere He commanded / ordained the process / method for making disciples. {4} --- ### 2019.06.13 {37} - "with your word" is not in the Hebrew {37} --- ### 2019.06.12 {0, 1, 54} - This psalm is an acrostic poem of twenty-two stanzas, following the letters of the Hebrew alphabet; within a stanza, each verse begins with the same Hebrew letter {0} - There are 24 occurrences of "law" in this psalm.  All 24 are the Torah ([[H8451]]).  Most of the sections have one occurrence.  However, "Beth" doesn't have any and "Zain" has 3 and "Teth" has 2.  I am not sure if the "Torah" applies literally to non-Jews.  However, I am sure there are principles that do apply. {0} - There are 22 occurrences of "statutes" in this psalm.  21 of them are "choq" ([[H2706]]).  However, in verse 16, it is "chuqqah" [[H2708]]. Most of the sections have one occurrence of "choq" ([[H2706]]) with the following exceptions: {0} - Aleph - 2 - Teth - 2 - Lamed - 0 - Mem - 0 - Samekh - 2 - Tzade - 0 - Shin - 0 - There are 22 occurrences of "commandments" ([[H4687]]). Most of the sections have one occurrence with the following exceptions {0} - Gimel - 2 - Vau - 2 - Zain - 0 - Nun - 0 - Resh - 0 - There are 33 occurrences of "word" in the BSB in the 22 sections.  Most of the sections have one or more occurrences.  However Aleph and Ain don't have any. {0} - See below for the verse distribution of "word" Strong's Hebrew word {0} - [[H0565]] / [[H0565a]] -- 11, 38, 67, 103, 133, 148, 154, 158, 172 - [[H1697]] - 9, 16, 17, 25, 28, 42, 43, 49, 57, 65, 74, 81, 89, 101, 105, 107, 114, 130, 139, 147, 16 - Not in Hebrew - 37 - There are 21 occurrences of "precepts" ([[H6490]]). Outside of this Psalm, the only other occurrences are in [[Psalm_019|Psalm 19.8]], [[Psalm_103|Psalm 103.18]] and [[Psalm_111|Psalm 111.7]]. Most of the sections in this Psalm have one occurrence with the following exceptions: {0} - Gimel -  0 - Lamed - 2 - Mem - 2 - Samekh - 0 - Koph - 0 - There are 22 occurrences of "testimonies" in the BSB in the 22 sections.  Most of the sections have one or more occurrences.  However Zain, Teth, Kaph and Tau don't have any. {0} - See below for the verse distribution of "word" Strong's Hebrew word {0} - H5713 / H5713b - 2, 22, 24, 46, 59, 79, 95, 119, 125, 138, 146, 152, 167, 168 - H5715 - 14, 31, 36, 99, 111, 129, 144, 157 - There are 17 occurrences of "judgments" ([[H4941]]) in the BSB. Most of the sections in this Psalm have one occurrence with the following exceptions: {0} - Daleth - 0 - Lamed - 0 - Mem - 0 - Nun - 2 - Ain - 0 - Pe - 0 - Koph - ? - **Verse 1** - Those whose way ([[H1870]]) is blameless ([[H8549]]) who walk ([[H1980]]) in the law ([[H8451]]) of the Lord ([[H3069]]) are blessed ([[H0835]]) {1} - **Verse 54** - The psalmist says God's statutes ([[H2706]]) are songs ([[H2158]]) to him in the house ([[H1004]]) of his pilgrimage. In some respects, I feel the same way about the Bible. {54} - I assume his house of pilgrimage is the Lord's temple {54} - Pilgrimage here is "magor or magur" ([[H4033]]) which is different than in [[Psalm_084|Psalm 84.5]] where it is "mesillah" ([[H4546]]). Here it means a sojourning place, dwelling place, a sojourning and in **Psalm 84.5** it means a highway. {54} - The RV could well be our "house of my pilgrimage" {54} ---
