142: Individual Human Beings Expressed with Plural Forms
Thursday Oct 15, 2020

While the Hebrew concept called the "plural of majesty" described the one God with plural forms in order to heighten his excellence, what are we to make of plural forms used of individual human beings? This episode looks at instances in the Hebrew Bible where human individuals are portrayed with plural nouns, not unlike the plural of majesty examples. If plural forms can be used to describe human beings when it is clear that only one individual is in view, then the same conclusions should be drawn when plural forms are used of the Lord God, who is one person.
