Mighty Hunters
“He
was a mighty hunter before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the
LORD.” Genesis 10:9
The word hunter is from
tsayid which is more often translated ‘provision, food,
food-supply, or victuals’. This verse would be better
translated to the effect that Nimrod was a mighty provider
instead of the LORD.
This concept of men snaring the
people into bondage by the offer of benefits would be in line with
numerous biblical warnings about returning to Egypt;
the commandments against making covenants with inhabitants and their
gods, against coveting your neighbors’ goods;
the proverbs about eating with rulers and not consenting for gain;
and testimony of David and Paul about tables that should have been
for our welfare becoming a snare;
to say nothing of Jesus’ prohibitions about praying to the
fathers of the earth, swearing or taking any oaths, or being like the
rulers of the gentiles who exercise authority, who offer benefits at
your neighbor’s expense, or promise liberty but delivering them
into bondage.
The Gospel of the Kingdom is for
those living, willing to repent and seek the righteousness of God by
setting their neighbor free from their own avarice and covetous
hearts.
That Kingdom is at hand. We
should not be like the governments of the gentiles. Seeking His
righteousness is a way that may save His people in this life and the
next.
“For this ye know, that no
whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an
idolater, hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.”
(Eph 5:5 )
