My God My God Why Have You Forsaken Me In Hebrew
Camila Farah
Matthew 27 47 when some of those standing there heard this they said he is calling elijah.
This cry is a fulfillment of psalm 22 1 one of many parallels between that psalm and the specific events of the crucifixion. And about the ninth hour jesus cried with a loud voice saying eli eli lama sabachthani. For many y shua s last utterance was either understood as a cry of desperation or a declaration of his messiahship from psalm 22 1. Not a cry of despair but a cry of loving faith my god my god why hast thou for a time withdrawn thyself it is remarkable that our lord s quotation of this passage does not follow exactly either the hebrew or the chaldee paraphrase the hebrew having azab thani for sabacthani and the chaldee paraphrase metul ma for lama.
All who see me mock me. My el my el why have you forsaken me greek versions attempt to transliterate the psalm as eli eli lama sabacthani. They hurl insults shaking their heads. For example psalm 22 7 8 which reads.
That is to say my god my god why hast thou forsaken me matthew 27 46 kjv. 33 at the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. Why are you so far from saving me so far from my words of groaning. My god my god why have you forsaken me it goes on to describe several horrors that are echoed in matthew s account of the crucifixion.

Jesus seems to have known that the whole of psalm 22 in some way or other was about him. Psalm 22 opens with exactly the same words. Perhaps through swollen lips and tongue and with blood and fluid filling his lungs he did indeed cry out eliya eliya lama shevawktany elijah elijah why have you deserted me rather than calling to god as in psalm 22 elohy elohy lama shevawktany but this is a secondary position to my belief that the aramaic cry from the cross meant exactly what it says and jesus didn t screw it up. He trusts in the lord they say let the lord rescue him.
