today was better. had a great convo with a girl who sees eye-to-eye with me theologically. It was a blessing! I’ve gotten all A’s on my hebrew quizzes, but I really feel like I’m struggling as I don’t always fully understand how I came to the conclusion I came to while translating. I was more or less angry in class today- it took one little “devotional” section in our Grammar book to put things back into perspective. Excerpt:
“most readers will be familiar with the name “Immanuel” and its meaning but now you can understand its etymology in Hebrew. It is composed of two words… the name is composed of the preposition “Eh-M” (with) to which has been affixed the 1cp pronominal suffix (us). The divine name comes at the end of the form… the name means “God is with us”
Nothing profound, but it it spoke to me… mainly because YES I know and understand the preposition and the pronominal suffix now… so it gives meaning to all this… struggling.
