The Cambridge Greek Lexicon was recently released which supplants the LSJ, Middle Liddell and Autenrieth. However Theologians use the old Strong's Concordance of Hebrew and Greek of the 19th century.
The Septuagint consistently uses κόπτομαι for ספד
- κόπτομαι; beat or strike oneself, beat one's breast or head through grief.
Jeremiah 16:6 - Neither shall men lament (יספדו) for them nor cut themselves (יתגדד - συγκεντέουσι)
lets clear up a matter. what has been the JEWS, not all, problem is this. pronouns in second or third persons. as in Zechariah 12:10 " And
I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon
me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for
him, as one mourneth for
his only son, and shall be in bitterness for
him, as one that is in bitterness for
his firstborn."
did one see the change in pronouns?
him, and
his. or as in this scripture, watch the change. Isaiah 35:4 " Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold,
your God will come with vengeance,
even God with a recompence;
he will come and save you."
Active voice to passive voice. and the root of unbeliving Jews is this.... "God is a plurality of himself", in ordinal designations of First and Last. this is why "Last" in Isaiah 41:4 is plural. because Hebrew rule for ordinal numbers after ONE is always plural. because ordinal numbers after one follows one another, as in First and Last or the second or third day. understand one cannot have a third day unless there is a first, and a second day. BINGO. as in Isaiah 41:4 the Last cannot be singlar because there is a FIRST, hence the plurality, FIRST and LAST, ordinal numbers after one are plural.
now with God in the ECHAD, as in Deut 6:4, God is a H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') which is more than one, meaning not a yachid, which is a singular. so God is either a Cardinal or Ordinal designation. and the answer is ordinal. for if God was Cardinal in NATURE, then it would be two seperate person/Natures, and that's anti bible. but if God was an Ordinal of himself them he would have to be a unity of ONE, or a EQUAL SHARE of One. answer a EQUAL SHARE, for a unity requires two separate parties, or persons, as one, (which is the trinitarians mistake). because there is no one equal to the one true God, but he alone. in the EQUAL SHARE, yes, because the share is the same one person.
knowing this, the person in Zechariah 12:10, (the active Voice, I and ME, and
his), God the Ordinal First is speaking
of himself as the Ordinal Last, (
him), the Passive voice. just as in Isaiah 35:4 .
your God, (the active Voice), the Ordinal First, will come, but
he (the Passive voice), tthe Ordinal Last, will save you.
so the challenge is to prove that God is a ECHAD in a plurality of Ordinal First and Last. which the bible do. right in the very first verse of the Bible.
Genesis 1:1 " In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth."
God:
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
3. (specifically, in the plural, especially with the article) the Supreme God (i.e. the all supreme).
4. (sometimes) supreme, used as a superlative.

[
plural of H433]
KJV: angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Root(s): H433
there it is ........
plural of H433
H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) n-m.
אֱלֹהַּ 'eloahh (el-o'-ah) [shortened (rarely)]
1. one with supreme strength and ability.
2. the Supreme Being, God the Creator, Yahweh by name.
3. a supreme entity, a god-like creature (that is, one of God's supreme creations, or one of man's inventions).
[probably prolonged (emphat.) from H410]
KJV: God, god.
Root(s): H410
NOT A PLURAL "FROM", NO, BUT THE PLURAL, "OF" H433 the same ONE PERSON, BIG DIFFERENCE.
so, God is a plural of, of, of himself.
