Which of the following passages is in the Bible?
a. “With righteousness He will judge the anawim.”
b. “The anawim will inherit the earth.”
c. “Seek the Lord, all you anawim of the earth.”
d. “The Spirit of the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the anawim”
e. “The schemes of the schemer are evil, he devises plans to bring down the anawim.”
Answer:
All of them. “Anawim” is a Hebrew word that is translated “the poor” or “the outcast”, but in context means “the outcast who seeks the Lord for deliverance.” This is the foundational idea of our community church for the homeless and mentally ill. a. “With righteousness He will judge the anawim” is found in Isaiah 11:4. b. “The anawim will inherit the earth” is found in Psalm 37:11, and is quoted by Jesus in Matthew 5:5. c. “Seek the Lord, all you anawim of the earth” is found in Zephaniah 2:3. d. “…Good news to the anawim” is found in Isaiah 61:1 and is quoted by Jesus in Luke 4. e. “He devises plans to bring down the anawim” is found in Isaiah 32:7.
