This is being inserted between the last entry’s Life Lesson, and its continuation. I’m not sure why I was led to do so, but perhaps it will become clear.
Αββα – Abba – a name Yeshua/Jesus uses in prayer at his time of conflict and submission in Gethsemane. Where does it come from?
Only one occurrence in Septuagint ➔ Tanakh.
2 Chronicles 29:1 LXX
1 Καὶ Εζεκιας ἐβασίλευσεν ὢν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αββα θυγάτηρ Ζαχαρια. †

2 Chronicles 29:1 NKJV
1 Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

At some point, hopefully, we will be able to get across the ubiquitous concept in Scripture of“balance.” Upcoming in an entry (soon I hope) you will see a reference to a root “p.241 רוזrule with restraint.” My own personal interpretation (and please read of King Hezekiah – he is found in many places in Scripture – the most detailed are in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and Isaiah, but you will see he also is referred to in the Greek Scriptures) is that he holds strongly to the power, yet uses restraint.
h2148. זְכַרְיָה zeḵaryâ; or זְכַרְיָהוּ Zkaryahuw; from h2142. זָכַר zâḵar and h3050. יָהּ yâh; Jah has remembered

Following is a detailed study of the occurrences of “Yah” with no prefixes or suffixes. Many of the references are to what we call Hallelu Yah and will be fairly quick, but some give a little more complete picture.

Exodus 17:14-16
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, “Because Yah has sworn: the LORD (will have) war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Either the above from the Mikraot Gedolot is an error/deletion, or is a disagreement between different groups as to whether the part about war against Amalek was an addition. Not for me to say.

10 I said,
“In the prime of my life
I shall go to the gates of Sheol;
I am deprived of the remainder of my years.”
11 I said,
“I shall not see Yah,
Yah in the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

p.68 זמר conserve; energize before final emergence;; CM זמר protect potential (E24) [שמרprotect; צמר cover; סמר erect]
NOTE שמר, we have discussed before as in “the keep” of the castle, and as in God’s purpose for us in Genesis 2:15:
15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. Note that God gave instructions (אמר) to mankind in Gn1:28-30 and God gave authority (while retaining control צוה) to mankind in G2:16-17. However, Genesis 2:15 demonstrates neither instruction nor”command.” It simply says what God did and the purpose for putting האדם there, to serve it and protect it.
Genesis 2:15
15 וַיִּקַּ֛ח יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּנִּחֵ֣הוּ בְגַן־עֵ֔דֶן לְעָבְדָ֖הּ וּלְשָׁמְרָֽהּ׃

(( You might wonder why the suffix on עבד is feminine. It is referring to “garden.” Here is the BDB entry for garden:
גַּן

PARSING Hebrew, noun, common, both, singular, construct
Where it says “both,” that is the gender of the noun. There are some nouns that in some usages are masculine and in others are feminine. Here, apparently it functions as feminine. ))
We are to radiate the power of God. We reflect upon God’s character. God’s reputation in the world depends upon us. How does the world see God based upon our actions? Do we live in such a way as to radiate a positive impression of God or not. How would we want our God to be perceived??? (Read Ex32:1-14 and notice especially verse 12. Moses shows his concern for God’s reputation in the world. Read also Nm14:13-19. Do we radiate the attributes of God, patience, mercy, and faithfulness to the world?)
See Appendix 4 – A Commentary on the “Great Commission”
Hollis Green, ThD, PhD was one of our many instructors.
And I ask you, if we are to reflect upon God’s character, do we reflect “free will,” or do we attempt to force our views upon others? If we are living in the power of God, others will see that we have something “different,” and want what we have, rather than our feeling the need to force our views on others. As Dr. Green says, “The Commission supports a life-style of making disciples “as you go” rather than a program of “go and do.” “
The concept is also in line with the witness of Jacob, after his “wrestling with God and with man:”
Genesis 32:28
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
•••
Genesis 33:13-14
13 And he said unto him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 14 Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
Praise Yah! ⤵︎

Very interesting that the beginning of this study was to investigate g0005. Ἀββᾶ Abba. And hopefully we will get to more of that at one point. But the one reference in Septuagint led to the mother of Hezekiah, h0029. אֲבִיָּה ’ăḇîyâ, and thus the study on Yah. The mention of mother is always a helpful hint as to the nature of the person we are looking at. Though today we have heard “Abba” frequently, Jesus/Yeshua says it once only, in Gethsemane, in Mark 14:36. Paul picks it up twice, in Romans and Galatians. That the Gospels mention it only once, and it is seen once in Septuagint, encourages me to investigate further.
