NOTE: Some footnote topics cover numerous texts. They have been recorded, and will be copied into documents discussing those topics. If you see footnote repetition from one text to another, this will explain why.

Regarding the accuracy of these conclusions: Were I gifted by the Spirit of Yehovah to do this work, it would be infallible, as was the case for all ministerially gifted persons in the Bible. No true prophet of God ever erred while prophesying. No true teacher of God ever taught any erroneous teaching. The standards of God have not changed, and the Spirit of God hasn’t weakened over the centuries. Since I am not gifted, my conclusions contain numerous errors, and must be considered and challenged if you (the reader) will not be deceived. I know some answers are correct, but I will have to change some answers as I learn more and as folks like you show me that my proposed answers need changing. If you don’t like this factor of uncertainty, ask Yehovah to give me a ministerial gift along these lines in His Word so that I can give infallible responses. If He does so, you will then be responsible to believe whatever He communicates through me. In the meantime, don’t be a sucker.

Regarding Hebrew words: If you see what appears to be computer nonsense when a Hebrew word is being discussed, your computer does not have the font to view it. If you desire to see the same article with the Hebrew word being visible and correct, let me know; I will send you a PDF form of the same document. (You will need an Adobe Acrobat reader to see it, which is freely available from the Adobe web site.)

1 Praise means commend, to give/admit credit or a job well done where such an admission is due.

2 Yah is a contraction (abbreviation) of Yehovah. Yehovah is a contraction of the three tenses of the Hebrew verb, to be:

which is the correct pronunciation of His Name, and which means He will be, is, was. This also defines part of His Character (changelessness) and existence status (He always was, is and always will be).

3 I have yet to find the usage of ‘new song’ not associated with the End Times.

4 The root of this word (v7œ1v}¯, t-hilah) is kkv, hallal, which means to praise, commend. A psalm, then, is called a praise. It is a commendation for something done well. Since most events mentioned in the Psalms have not yet occurred, these praises are over future events as if one were reading a history many years in advance of that history occurring!
Thus, this text can be rendered, “His praise is in the congregation of Graced-[ones]!”

5 Grace is a fervent, ardent zeal by which one is actuated. Defined a little simpler, grace is a very strong, burning zeal (conviction and drive to do something) by which one is motivated to take action regarding anything. That action can be on behalf of someone or something, or it can be against someone or something. It is like a mother who is both protecting her baby from an attacker (grace toward her baby) and is attacking the attacker at the same time (grace against the attacker). Many have rightly heard that Salvation is by grace (though few know what this means), but very few know that damnation is by the very same grace! Yehovah’s fervency and zeal is against those who spurn the price He paid in His grace, and who spurn His grace.

Graced ones are those who have received the Grace of Yehovah unto Salvation.

6 Circle dancing is represented by the rolling motion (as seen from above), since the root of this word has to do with rolling.

7 This word for dance is from the whirling motion of its steps; it is a very fast dance!

8 A Serenade is a story in song that tells of a person’s acts. While serenades can be mythical, Biblical serenades are never mythical, giving infallible information in their stories. Biblical serenades are nearly always future events, recorded as if they have already occurred.

9 rap, paar has the following acceptations: to glorify, beautify, adorn; to go over the boughs. I don’t know about going over any boughs, but another Hebrew word covers glorify, and yet another beauty; but adorn may fit this well. The noun form has the following acceptations: headdress, ornament, turban. Those are adorning items. The feminine form means bough, branch, shoot, all adorning trees and plants.

10 Biblical Hebrew employs the very same word for both humble and humiliate, the first being voluntary and the second forced. Translators often rendered the noun form of this word as afflicted. That never fits. Using afflicted changes the meanings of texts to such a degree that it automatically assumes that folks who are afflicted are Godly. On one Biblical Holy Day (Yom HaKippurim, Day of the Coverings, known commonly as Yom Kippur, and wrongly rendered Day of Atonement), ‘afflicting one’s soul’ is the chief end (do to this misunderstanding), when the chief end and goal should be to humble one’s being before Yehovah.

A humble person is one who knows his true rank and responsibility before God and men, and lives according to that responsibility.

In this text, a humble one is a person who has humbled himself/herself before Yehovah and man (since humans are made in the image of God). Anyone who is humble consistently thinks in terms of personal responsibility rather than personal rights.

11 Salvation is normally feminine (as it is here). The basic noun looks like this:  v7gÑAºh (pronounced yeshuah with the accent on the ‘a’), and is related to the name Yeshua (spelled *gÑA²h). Its basic meaning is preservation from destruction or failure; deliverance from danger or difficulty (Merriam-Webster). I would add, deliverance from harm. Since sin is the greatest killer in this universe, it is also deliverance from sin and sin’s effects.

The feminine word Salvation reminds me of the feminine form of Wisdom who is the Messiah! (Yehovah uses gender for special purposes beyond those used by humans.)

12 Exult (zle, alaz) means to leap for joy in English, and to very strongly celebrate an event (like a victory) in the Hebrew.

13 Glory (dwbk, cävÿd) means weight or importance. Its use is exactly like the English idiom, “Man, that’s heavy!” used by Hippies, and showing that something was important.

14 Listed acceptations for Nnr, ranan are to overcome; to be overcome; to cry out, shout for joy, give a ringing cry (in joy, exaltation, distress, praise); to cry aloud (in summons, exhortation of wisdom); singing out (passive); to cause to ring or sing out (for joy); rejoicing (participle). A better English word that covers these things is ululation, the sharp, loud, high-pitched vibrated sound that folks make in numerous countries when expressing the greatest joy or the greatest sorrow.

15 hqyz, zeekah has the acceptations spark, missile, firebrand, flaming arrow; fetters. I propose that the correct root is qqz, zakak carrying the acceptations to purify, distil, strain, refine; to purge. These weapons (sparks, missiles, firebrands, flaming arrows, and more modern weapons of those natures) are very good at purging from the ranks! They will also be very good for removing defenders of evil kings and getting them to surrender for trial.

16 Heavies comes from glory (dwbk, cävÿd), meaning weight or importance. Its use is exactly like the English idiom, “Man, that’s heavy!” used by Hippies, and showing that something was important. These men are heavies in society.

17 Justice (secularly) is rendering a decision based on known facts. Biblical justice is rendering the right and appropriate decision based on all facts and the Truth. This can only be accomplished by Yehovah or by one who is being aided by the Spirit of Yehovah.

This word is often rendered judgment, from which I refrain because of its flavour normally being condemnatory. This type of judgment (in the Bible) is what a person does on a regular and daily basis. It is not the same as the word representing a formal court session, though a judge in Israel regularly gives rulings and sentences.

Yehovah’s justices are His decisions and what He does to carry them out. The Bible gives a large number of examples of these.

18 rdh, hadar has the following acceptations: ornament, splendour, honour; majesty; glory. But that sounds too much like another Hebrew word with a different root. The verb root for this word has the acceptations to honour, adorn, glorify, be high; to swell; swelling (pass participle); show partiality. Honour seems the best for this word.
