Genesis 14:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd it came to pass in the days of Amrafel king of Shin’ar, Aryokh king of Elasar, K’dorla’omer king of ‘‘Eilam [eternity] (Hidden; Young Man or Always), and Tid’al king of Goyim [nations]; See the chapter |
The children of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known)); ‘‘Eilam [eternity] (Hidden; Young Man or Always; Perhaps alluding to hidden secrets of the future), and Ashur (level plain; over the flames), and Arpakhshad, and Lud [strife] (no real meaning in Hebrew; possibly: to turn aside; strife), and Aram (citadel, palace; elevated, lifted up).
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and from Patros [region of the south], and from Cush (Ethiopia) [black], and from ‘Eilam [eternity], and from Shin’ar [country of two rivers], and from Hamat [Fortress], and from the islands of the sea.
And the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] gave Y’hoyakim king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: which he carried into the land of Shin’ar [country of two rivers] to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
There [is] ‘Eilam [eternity] and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
