You are correct in the use of Hebrew. But some on here will tell you that it does not apply to the Jews and all that.

Read the 16th Chapter of Ezekiel and see what God says of these people. How he chose them. what their position was at the time. he chose them not because they were great but because they were the least.

it tells us how he picked them up clothed them and raised them to a great people and then how they sinned against Him.

what i like about the bible alabamagirl is that it is not so flattering to either jews or christians but shows the frailties of them both and all the while calling them to repentence.
