<h2>The Naming of Jesus in Hebrew Matthew by Nehemiah Gordon</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Book Review</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Mr. Gordon is the author of Hebrew Yeshua v. Greek Jesus. He identified a verse in the Shaprut Shem-Tob Matthew that helped resolve the incongruous notion that Jesus told us to obey all that the Pharisees say. Instead, a small slip of a Hebrew pen was involved. Two mss. of the Shem-Tob show Jesus said obey what "he" (Moses) says not what "they" (Pharisees) say, which resolved the problem. It is a great short book, and worthy of study.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">In this book, <em>The Naming of Jesus</em>, Gordon $4 (<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/jwoogm-20">amazon lnk</a>) provides us another short book with important information.</span><img style="float: right;" alt="naming of jesus in hebrew matthew graphic" height="300" width="300" src="/images/stories/JWOBook/naming of jesus in hebrew matthew graphic.jpg" /></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Gordon reminds us that Matthew originally wrote his gospel in Hebrew, as the early church recorded. Gordon says that the Shem-Tob Matthew was thought to be a Hebrew translation fo a Latin Gospel. However, in 1987 Professor George Howard of Mercer University "wrote a monumental book proving that Hebrew Matthew was not a translation at all but an original work written in Hebrew." (Page 4.) With that background, he says the Shem Tob was transformed in transmission, yet "it serves as a witness to the original Hebrew gospel and preserves much of the flavor and character of the Hebrew message preached by Jesus of Nazareth some two thousand years ago." (Page 4.)</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">One of the 28 manuscripts of the Shem-Tob is in the British library and designated Add.26964. The cover of the book contains a reproduction of that manuscript at Matthew 1:18-25.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Gordon contends that this manuscript contains "the original form of Jesus of Nazareth's Hebrew name: Yeshua." (Page 5.) (I contend it is pronounced Yashua.)</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">According to the Hebrew Matthew of the Shem-Tob, Joseph is told "you shall call him Yeshua for he will yoshia (save) my people from their iniquities." (Matt. 1:21.) Gordon says this is a word pun between Yeshua and Yoshia. (It is equally a pun between Yashua and Yoshia.)</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Gordon explains Yeshua is a variant of Joshua which in Hebrew is Yehoshua. He was also known as Yeshua son of Nun. (Nehemiah 8:17.) The second temple priest Yehoshua was sometimes called Yeshua. (Page 6.)</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Gordon also marshalls proof from the Shem-Tob that it must have originally contained the divine name YHVH -- the Tetragrammaton (4 characters). The Shem-Tob uses the well-known abbreviation used by scribes of a single H with a double apostrophe symbol to signify originally the text had YHVH. But out of a concern of loose treatment of the text (e.g., being thrown in the garbage or burned), it would not be written out.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Interestingly, Gordon shows that the Shem-Tob Matthew 1:21 has "for he will save my people from their iniquities" which differs from the Greek which says "his people." The scribe had originally written "his" people, and then crossed it out, and corrected it to "my people." Gordon explains his interpretation: "This probably happened because the scribe was familiar with the Greek version and had a tendency to 'assimilate' Hebrew Matthew to match the Greek." (Page 13.) The scribe in other words fixed his own mistake.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The Shem-Tob also has Jesus described as a "first-born" son while the Greek standard text does not. (Page 14.) (The Latin Vulgage, Syriac and many Greek texts do have 'first-born.')</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">All in all, this book is very good to have as further background on the Hebrew Matthew, and is highly recommended to acquire.</span></p>
