Food for thought 🙂
1 Timothy 4:4-5
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 For every creature of ‘God’ ([ha-]’Elohiym: [the-]Magistrate(s), [the-]Great – ones, [the-]Mighty – ones, etc..) is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of ‘God’ (‘Elohiym) and ‘prayer’ (siyach: contemplation, meditation, etc..).”
Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon:
G-d: 430 ‘elohiym el-o-heem’ plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:–angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great [ones], judges, X mighty [ones].
Prayer: 7879 siyach see’-akh from 7878; a contemplation;by implication, an utterance:–babbling, communication, complaint,meditation, prayer, talk.
