MERCY Mercy is considered to be a key element in Scripture. Most "translations" include many references to mercy. Below is a listing of words in both Hebrew and Greek from the KJV Bible and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance that are translated as "mercy", "merciful", or "mercies". Hebrew terms are "translated" in this manner 267 times. Greek terms are "translated in this manner 66 times. Yet a review of these terms reveals a most interesting fact: There is no Hebrew or Greek term that is properly defined as mercy. How is it, then, that we have so many terms "translated" as mercy (or its variations) in our Bibles? Please review the following information carefully, and prayerfully. Ask YAHWEH to teach you His Truth. He'll reveal to you what He wants you to understand if you permit Him to do so. The primary goal of this study, and others like it that are being prepared, is to help eliminate confusion within The Scriptures. The current state of affairs has left us with innumerable "translations" that are not really "translations" at all. Instead, they are misleading presentations of the "traditions of men". There's a special term for this. It's called eisegesis. It means placing one's own ideas into a text to make it conform to one's own world view or belief system. Exegesis, on the other hand, is seeking to discover what the text actually says, and means. In the following word study these conventions will be used: term = proper translation { } = Writer's insertions for purposes of clarity. {Best - } = The best translation of the term where the given "translation" is misleading or confusing. (This is particularly important when multiple English words are used in the KJV as "translations" of the term.) [not used] = the term is not translated in the KJV as the key word for this study.

No Key number = [occurs 32 times] - this means there is no Hebrew or Greek word upon which the "translated" term is based. - It is supplied by the translator at his or her discretion.

CONCLUSIONS: There are three primary Hebrew terms "translated" as mercy or its variations. There are two primary Greek terms "translated" as mercy or its variations. However, there is no Hebrew or Greek term that is properly translated as mercy or its variations. Having reviewed the above definitions of the Hebrew terms, Strong's Numbers 2617 and 2623 both should properly be translated as kindness (with its variations). The Greek terms should all be properly translated as compassion. None of these terms should be properly translated as mercy (with its variations). If the Hebrew and Greek terms were properly translated we would note that they fit perfectly into one of the key themes of Scripture:

Love YAHWEH above ALL things, and with every particle of your being. And, love your neighbor as you love yourself.

If you are doing these two things you are being "kind" and "compassionate". They are really two forms of the same concept. They are also declared to be part of the very character, of YAHWEH. Each is tied directlly to the Hebrew and Greek terms related to the concept of to favor, or to show favor. While these terms are often "translated" as grace there is no term in either Hebrew or Greek that carries that denotation. As is so often the case, a multiplicity of English terms with the same or similar meanings, and sometimes even directly opposite meanings, simply leads to confusion about the fundamental concepts involved.

We can, and should, do better. In a search to understand Scripture as clearly as possible one thing becomes evident. Inconsistent and improper "translation" of terms results in confusion. HEBREW KEY NUMBERS: For these two terms see the study on "grace" 2603 - to favor [occurs 77 times] 2604 - to favor [occurs 2 times] 2616 - to be kind [occurs 3 times] 2Sam. 22:26 With the kind (2623) You will show yourself kind (2616), and with the upright man You will show Yourself upright.

2616. Special Form: dR;sAj◊y yechassed - Verb piel imperfect third masculine singular - to reproach {Note: In Hebrew a "yud" used as a prefix reverses the sense of the word. What was kindness becomes reproach. Technically, this could be classed as a different word, based on the same root.}
