Thomas, which edition of the AENT are you looking at?
And its Hebrews 3:18-19 <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
In the 1st Edition of the AENT, which is all I have at the moment, it has this reading: "and of whom swore he, that they should not enter into his rest, but of those who did not believe? So we see that they could not enter, because they did not believe."
In the 1st instance where Andrew translated "Believe" in vs 18, it has the meaning of "to be convinced" of or "to be persuaded" of something. They were not convinced, or, un-convinced and not persuaded, that it was good to follow God's instructions
And in the 2nd instance in vs 19, which he chose to render the same way "Believe" it means "to trust in" or "to believe upon". They chose not to believe in or upon God, after they were not convinced or not persuaded that God was leading them right and to goodness.
I don't know where Andrew's choice of "obey" comes from in vs 19, unless it's his interpretation of what he believes the word or verse implies there, rather than what the word and verse simply is or says.
Both the Eastern Peshitta Text and the Western Peshitto Text, is the same here. And Etheridge, Bauscher, and Magiera all have it that way...and Murdoch has it the way Roth has it in his 1st edition, it being a revision of his (Murdoch's) translation for the most part.
Andrew? What say ye?
Blessings,
Chuck
