Boanerges

This word is neither Hebrew nor Syriac, and some have thought that the transcribers have not exactly copied it, and that the word was _benereen_, βενερεὲν, which expresses the sound of the Hebrew of the phrase, “sons of thunder. ” Parkhurst judges the word to be the Galilean pronunciation of the Hebrew בנירעש expressed in Greek letters. Boanerges is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “son of thunder.” This unified study connects 7 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.

Now, רעש properly signifies a violent trembling or commotion, and may therefore be well rendered by βροντὴ, _thunder_, which is a violent commotion in the air;
