| Posted 6/9/2002 12:41 PM (GMT -6) |   | In the analysis of Romans 8:29 located on this website, http://www.gregboyd.org/gbfront/index.asp?PageID=482, Dr. Boyd says that in Jewish culture "knowing" someone was equivalent to "loving" someone. I don't doubt his explanation, but I'd like to read more about this and related info. Any books, webpages, or other texts are greatly appreciated.

| Posted 6/11/2002 7:52 PM (GMT -6) | | "Knowing" someone in ancient Jewish culture was often used as a euphemism for sexual intimacy as well. The use or meaning depends on the context.
An example is Matthew 1:25, speaking of Joseph and Mary: "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus."
The Greek root word in both Romans 8:29 and Matt. 1:24 is "ginosko."
At any rate, "knowing" can indicate a very loving, intimate relationship.
Peace and welcome to the board!
