Oh Chris get off it. The understanding is there in the OT for a reason.
What are you worried about it for anyways, last time you were chirping up about the OT, you didn't trust the Hebrew texts and was wanting to head towards the LXX as your preference since it agreed more with your theological bias.
Were not talking about german or any other language difference. Such figurative understanding is given in many places within the Hebrew OT about the gender of The Spirit of God. A real good one is proverbs. If that is not talking about The Holy Spirit when it mentions wisdom, how "She" does this and does that for mankind,...then people are completely blind here.
With such grammatical and "figurative" understandings throughout the OT blatantly given to us, that syriac text in Acts 1:4 is nothing short of complete theological corruption. I'm not here just to upset people, I refuse to accept someone blurbing out that this is original when such heresy is blatantly obvious.
