Thank you Swalchy.
3164 is indeed Yachidiy'el. It's a proper name and you can find it in the verse 1 Chron. 5:24 (for anyone interested). But I guess what I meant to say and what I should have said is that Strong's used 3162 (yachid) for the verses that are in question. Specifically 3162 was used in Yashayahu 52:8-9.
Yada wrote
'Starting with the seventh verse of the 52nd chapter and running through Isaiah 53, the Mesoretic Tanach is so inconsistent with the Qumran Isaiah Scrolls, the editors of the Dead Sea Bible felt compelled to acknowledge the great contribution the 1,300-year-older manuscripts have bequeathed upon those of us who yearn to know what Yahuweh actually revealed. They do not, however, state the obvious. Since these words comprise Scripture's most important prophecy, that of the redemption of man by the Messiah Yahushua, the very Savior whom the Rabbis are most wont to deny, the increased propensity of alterations is obviously purposeful.
I share this revelation with you for two reasons. If you are a religious Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, stop relying upon the words of men. They deceive and destroy. They are death. Second, if you are wondering why some of what I'm sharing varies significantly from your KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, or JPS, the answer is that I am relying upon the Yasha'yah text as it is preserved in the 2,200 year old Isaiah Scroll found in Qumran rather than the poison produced by the Rabbinical Mesoretes.'I absolutely agree understand and resign myself to the fact that the Mesoretes played copy edit with the Tanakh, and the fact that the Mesoretic text led to an even more errant English translation. I am not doubting Yada's scholarship or anything like that. I just really really really want to see Yachidiy'el with my own two eyes. I wonder if anybody could tell me what book to get so I could read all this amazing wonderful....stuff...for lack of a better word I really am hoping a book will have it because honestly I can't afford Logos rignt now.
I remember in Psalm 22 when I read in my dead sea scrolls bible that it wasn't 'like a lion are my hands and feet' but 'they have pierced my hands and feet'. That was an awesome moment.
Shalom,
Jacob
Edit #1:
ok, I THINK I may have found it. It's at
http://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/qum-43.htm. The chapters and verses are marked. If you are interested go to Chapter 52 verse 9. Then go to the last word on the first line of the ninth verse (before it drops down to the next line (which shares the line with verse ten)) I can definitely make out
יַחְדִּי. But the problem is still there is no El. There is something that looks like a vav at the end of "yachidiy", and it could be an aleph, because alephs and vavs were actually written in a similar way according to the chart that Swalchy gave me. But there is no Lamed
(לָ) though. It could be that it has vanished from wear and tear and all. If anybody has any knowledge about this section please share your knowledge with us.
Shalom,
Jacob
P.S. The modern Hebrew has no yod at the end of Yachid instead it has a vav.
If somebody could tell me how to add pictures, I have circled the probable words so people can see them.
Edit: upon further review, it looks like that possible vav on the end is too big to be a vav or an aleph. I find the yod at the end of yachid to be significant because you do not find that yod in the modern Hebrew versions.
Edit #2
So this whole issue has really been driving me crazy. I have been to a lot of sites trying to find an original source with Yachidiy'el. I was looking at how the strong's concordance listed the word in question as H3162. I am going to list a couple of relevent words:
H3162
יחדyachad
yakh'-ad
From H3161; properly a unit, that is, (adverbially) unitedly: - alike, at all (once), both, likewise, only, (al-) together, withal.
H3163
יחדוyachdô
yakh-doe'
From H3162 with pronominal suffix; his unity, that is, (adverbially) together; Jachdo,(Yakhdo) an Israelite: - Jahdo.
H3164
יחדּיאלyachdîy'êl
yakh-dee-ale'
From H3162 and H410; unity of God; Jachdiel, an Israelite: - Jahdiel.
NOW, let us look to the modern Hebrew for Yeshayahu 52:8-9
ח קוֹל צֹפַיִךְ נָשְׂאוּ קוֹל, יַחְדָּו יְרַנֵּנוּ: כִּי עַיִן בְּעַיִן יִרְאוּ, בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה צִיּוֹן.ט פִּצְחוּ רַנְּנוּ יַחְדָּו, חָרְבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם: כִּי-נִחַם יְהוָה עַמּוֹ, גָּאַל יְרוּשָׁלִָם. NOW THAT IS NOT 3162 (unitedly). That is 3163(His Unity), which is a proper name. It could mean together, but considering that they actually see Yahuweh EYE TO EYE returning to Zion, I believe they are calling on a name. (I am not a Hebrew expert mind you, but could the one word have double significance? Perhaps the verse is saying the watchmen will sing together, Yachdo...)
1Ch 5:14 These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo,(Yachdo) the son of Buz;This all gets back to a few points. I am sure that Yada can show us the source that he used to get Yachdiy'el, I trust him, and his scholarship, but at the same time even when the mesorites and the English translators intentionally/unintentionally (whatever the case may be) covered up the true meaning of these verses by either modifying the original hebrew text or translating that text errantly into English, the true meaning is still there if you do a little digging. If I can't find Yachdiy'el I will definitely settle with Yachdo
HIS UNITY.....Amane :)
