(Reference: p.138) The Idea of “Coming” in
the Verb Hayah A propos of the
observation that the verb
markably like the English
word come. since it can be nicely rendered by phrases such as
"came to pass", "came to be", and, of course, "be-came", the
following passages will be of interest. Gen.15.1: "after these things the word of the
Lord came to Abra- ham in a vision". I Sam. 15.10: "The
word of the Lord came to Samuel". II Sam. 7.4: "In the same night the word of the
Lord came to Nathan while he was carrying out the command of the Lord". I Ki. 18.1: "the word of the Lord came
to Elijah". II Ki. 20.4: "the word of the Lord came
to (Isaiah)". Isa. 38.4: "then the word of the Lord came
to Isaiah". Jer. 36.1: "this word came to
Jeremiah". It is interesting to
observe that in French the word for become is de-venir. Moreover, in the same language, the
English word becoming in the sense of being
"suitable" or "well be-fitting" is con-venir. * * * pg
