TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Spirit Empowerment

Throughout Scripture, when the need arises, God empowers in special ways those who are committed to his service. The account of Moses and the seventy elders is one early instance, and it reminds us that God has moved and worked among his people in special ways throughout the ages. When Moses reached the end of his patience and his ability to manage rebellious Israel (Num 11:1-15), God told him to select seventy men to help him (11:16-17; cp. Exod 18:14-26). Then the Lord redistributed the Spirit that Moses already possessed and empowered these men for service (Num 11:24-25).

Joshua was empowered by the Lord’s Spirit as Moses’ successor (Num 27:18; cp. Deut 34:9). In the period of the Judges, the Spirit of the Lord came to the aid of Israel’s leaders as, for example, in the work of Othniel (Judg 3:10), Gideon (Judg 6:34), Jephthah (Judg 11:29), and Samson (Judg 13:25; 14:6, 19; 15:14). David had access to the strength of God’s presence, and his awareness of God’s actions—in history and in his own experience—made him a great leader (e.g., 1 Sam 16:13; 17:45; 18:12, 28). The prophets knew that their special ministry was possible because of the Spirit’s presence and power (e.g., Isa 61:1; Ezek 11:5; Zech 4:6).

Jesus was filled with God’s Spirit and empowered for a unique ministry (see Matt 12:18; Luke 4:1, 14, 18; John 3:34; Acts 10:38), and he spoke about the Spirit’s special role in the church (Acts 1:8). The arrival of the Spirit enabled the assembled believers to speak powerfully on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4-5, 16-18; cp. Joel 2:28-29). The Spirit emboldened and empowered the church after Pentecost (Acts 4:31; 19:6; 20:28; 1 Cor 12:1-31; Gal 3:2-5) and remains with God’s people today. The Spirit moves as circumstances require to provide spiritual renewal and strength to God’s people, and the Spirit continues to equip God’s people for whatever tasks he calls them to do.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy them?

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,flocks and,herds slaughtered to/for=them and,have_enough to/for=them if DOM all/each/any/every fish the=sea gathered_together to/for=them and,enough to/for=them )

Moses uses these questions to express his doubt that there could be enough meat to feed all of the people. Alternate translation: “We would have to kill entire flocks and herds and catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy them!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) flocks and herds

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,flocks and,herds slaughtered to/for=them and,have_enough to/for=them if DOM all/each/any/every fish the=sea gathered_together to/for=them and,enough to/for=them )

These two words mean basically the same thing. Together they emphasize a great number of animals.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) all the fish in the sea

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,flocks and,herds slaughtered to/for=them and,have_enough to/for=them if DOM all/each/any/every fish the=sea gathered_together to/for=them and,enough to/for=them )

The word “all” is an exaggeration to show how impossible it was to provide food for all the people of Israel.

(Occurrence 0) to satisfy them

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,flocks and,herds slaughtered to/for=them and,have_enough to/for=them if DOM all/each/any/every fish the=sea gathered_together to/for=them and,enough to/for=them )

Alternate translation: “to satisfy their hunger”
