Job and Self-Evaluation (Part One): Job's Character

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Hebrew word *'asah* (H6213), pronounced as Ose or Ah-sa, appears four times in the book of Job as a name for God, signifying Him as the Maker. This designation emphasizes God's role as Creator, distinct from other names used in the book such as Elohim, Yahweh, and Shaddai. Unlike these other names, *'asah* specifically highlights His creative power and authority over all things. Notably, this name does not connect Him to Israel within the context of Job, reinforcing the book's universal application of divine principles. It underscores that God's identity as Maker extends beyond any specific cultural or national boundary, presenting Him as the sovereign Creator whose creative acts are central to the narrative and theology of Job.

Choosing the New Man (Part Two)

Article by Charles Whitaker

The Hebrew word *asah* (H6213), translated as "make" in Ezekiel 18:31 in the King James Version, appears numerous times in the Old Testament and is rendered in various ways such as "keep," "do," "work," and similar verbs. It signifies that we make ourselves a new heart through our actions. Specifically, the action God requires of us is keeping His law and doing His commandments, which is the work of a Christian. By its meaning of "prepare," *asah* encapsulates both sides of the covenant agreement, describing what God does for us and what we must do for ourselves to receive the promises of the New Covenant. God has prepared unimaginable glory for us, while we are to prepare ourselves as living sacrifices, akin to how an Israelite prepared an animal sacrifice, by putting on the new man through our conduct and choices.

Genesis 1: Fact or Fiction?

Article by Earl L. Henn

In Genesis 1:16, the Hebrew word *asah* (H6213), translated as "made," is used in a verb form that denotes completed action. This indicates that the sun, moon, and stars could have been created on the fourth day or at any previous time. These heavenly bodies had been formed long before the creation week began, and verses 16 through 18 serve as parenthetical statements affirming that their creation occurred sometime in the past.
