PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN Pro_15:11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah: How much more then the hearts of the children of men! Pro_19:7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone. Pro_21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind! Eze_14:21 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast! Mat_7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Mat_10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household! Luk_11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luk_12:24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no storechamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! Luk_12:28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? Rom_11:12 Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? Rom_11:24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 1Co_6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life? Heb_9:13-14 or if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 2. G'zerah Shavah (Equivalence of expresions) What applies to a word, root, or phrase in one passage applies equally to it in another, even when they are not thematically or contextually linked. 17
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN Tenakh example: By comparing 1 Samuel 1:10 to Judges 13:5 using the phrase "no razor shall touch his head" we may conlude that Samuel, like Samson, was a nazarite "New Testament" example: In Hebrews 3:6-4:13 Paul compares Psalms 95:7-11 = Hebrews 3:7-11 to Genesis 2:2 = Hebrews 4:4 based on the words "works" and "day"/"today" ("today" in Hebrew is literally "the day"). Paul uses this exegesis to conclude that there will be 6,000 years of this world followed by a 1,000 year Shabbat equating “rest” in Psa. 95:11 with the Sabbath rest.. The book of Revelation uses this principle through out. 3. Binyan ab mikathub echad (Building up a "family" from a single text) When a principal is found in several passages, what applies to any one of them applies to all. For example, from the repeated requirement for blood sacrifice in the Torah, the author of Hebrews notes, “apart from shedding of blood there is no remission” (Heb. 9:22 ) Hebrews 9:11-22 applies "blood" from Exodus 24:8=Hebrews 9:20 to Jerermiah 31:31-34 4. Binyab ab mishene kethubim (Building up a "family" from two or more texts) A principle is established by relating two texts together: The principle can then be applied to other passages. i.e: You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or quantity. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have; I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. (Leviticus 19:35-36) By use of the fourth rule of Hillel we can recognize that the provision of equals weights and measures applies also to how we judge others and their actions. In Hebrews 1:5-14, Paul sites the following to build a rule that the Messiah is of a higher order than angels: Psalms 2:7 = Hebrews 1:5 2 Samuel 7:14 = Hebrews 1:5 Deuteronomy 32:43/Psalms 97:7/(Neh. 9:6) = Hebrews 1:6 Psalms 104:4 = Hebrews 1:7 Psalms 45:6-7 = Hebrews 1:8-9 Psalms 102:25-27 = Hebrews 1:10-12 Psalms 110:1 = Hebrews 1:13 18
