Is MRYA the same as YHWH?

shlom lokh oH Jerry,

"moro" is the Singular Emphatic, that's a fact. Have a look at my earlier post on this.

As for Matthew, have a look again at my other earlier post.

Also read the Hebrew of Psalm 110 and see which word is used for "moryo" in there.

Greetings abudar2000,

The Hebrew for Psalm 110:1 is (n`um - YHWH - la`doniy) "declares YHWH to-my-lord". Not my contention that (mor:yo`) is not used to represent YHWH, only that the Syriac NT does so in a fairly loose grammatical form.

My case for (moro`) as the "singular absolute" is not strong because it is workable as both "the-lord" and "lord". But what tilts the scale for me is that a specific construct designate for YHWH, such as (Mar-Ya), doesn't seem to work in Matay 22. It is not like I am 100% sure or anything, but in order to synthesize everything, it seems necessary to treat (mor:yo`) as singular emphatic, "the-lord" or "a-lord" by context.

Admittedly, I have swayed back and forth a bit on this topic, and am still working through the process. For what its worth, this is how I am leaning on the designates, which I know is different from you and many others.

m sing abs - (moro`) - "lord"
m sing con - (more`) - "lord-of"
m sing emp - (mor:yo`) - "the-lord" or "a-lord" by context

m plur abs - (morawon) - "lords"
m plur con - (moray) - "lords-of"
m plur emp - (morayo`) - "the-lords"

f sing emp - (moruw:tho`) - "the-lordship" (lexicon lists "dominion", lordship can mean "domain of a lord")
f plur emp - (morawotho`) - "the-lordships" (plural of "dominion")
