Descripción
Sumario:In the texts of Genesis 18 and 32, God appears to a patriarch in person and is referred to by the narrator as a man, both times by the Hebrew word ish. In both texts, God as ish is described in graphically human terms. This type of divine appearance is identified here as the"ish theophany". The phenomenon of God appearing in concrete human form is first distinguished from several other types of anthropomorphism, such as divine appearance in dreams. The ish theophany is viewed in relation to appearances of angels and other divine beings in the Bible, and in relation to anthropomorphi.
