There's a Hebrew word that quietly settles one of the biggest fights in theology, and the interviewer skipped right past it.

The word is naham. We translate it repent, relent, or change one's mind. It shows up when God is sorry He made humanity in Genesis 6, and when He relents from disaster in Exodus 32.

Here is the detail most people miss. Naham is used of God in exactly the same way it is used of humans. It describes the very human process of regret and turning from one path to another.

There's a second word too. The evil God relents from in Exodus 32 is ra, which means badness or calamity, not metaphysical evil. A rotten fruit is ra.

So when God relents, He is turning from bringing calamity, in response to His people. The text means what it says. Full breakdown's on the channel. Go watch it. #Naham #HebrewBible #BibleStudy #Theology #OpenTheism #OverlapLife #Shorts
