“Property Rights”

Saturday, November 29, 2014

     Some versions like the King James Version have ‘he’ for Judges 1:19, other versions use ‘they’.  ‘He’ would assumingly be Jehovah, and ‘they’ would be the Israelites.  So is it really God or the Israelites who took possession of the land?

Sincerely,
Deed In Hand

Dear Deed In Hand,

Regardless of whether a translation uses ‘he’ or ‘they’ in Judg 1:19, it is referring to the Israelites.  Israel was the one that couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron… God doesn’t have any problem destroying an enemy, no matter what weapons they have.
