1746. 'Possessor of heaven and earth' means conjunction. This is clear from what has been stated above at verse 19 where the same words occur and have the same meaning.

Commentarius

 

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.
