| Posted 9/3/2001 4:13 AM (GMT -6) |   | I have a friend who is proficient in Hebrew who translates Ps 139:16 like this
quote:
Your eyes watched my fetus [in all its features] (In your book it was fully described in writing) as it was being formed over a period of time. And one of those [features] is His.
What do you think of this? If God has given us one of His features then which feature would that be? Would it be the feature of self-determination that makes possible love? That's what I am getting from this translation of the passage.
You can get the justification for this translation from the following article on Ps 139 here.

It is an interesting take on Psalm 139. I read the article and will have to read it again. The translation of vs. 16 fits much better with an Open View. The problem is trying to explain this to friends in a discussion. When I start tearing apart the Hebrew I am entering a hornets nest. How would you interject the Hebrew into a discussion regarding Psalm 139:16?
