HEBREW TRANSLITERATION: MEN


HEBREW TRANSLITERATIONS
 
 
 
2. men: Transliteration: Strong’s H582 אֱנׄושׁ, אֱנׄושׁ [’enowsh /en·oshe/] n m From 605; TWOT 136a; GK 632 and 10046; 564 occurrences AV translates as “man” 520 times, “certain” 10 times, “husbands” three times, “some” three times, “merchantmen” twice, “persons” twice, and translated miscellaneously 24 times. 1 man, mortal man, person, mankind. 1a of an individual. 1b men (collective). 1c man, mankind.
The word “men” transliterates as Strong’s H582  ’enowsh /en·oshe. This word denotes a physical human being or person of mankind. The three men who appeared to Abraham had assumed human form, one being Yahweh, and the other two being angels (Genesis 18:1-2). This is proven by the fact that their feet were washed, and that they rested under the tree and ate. Abraham has the greatest respect for his three visitors, as he and Sarah welcomed them with Middle Eastern hospitality.
