			==God or Exceeding?==

	Some accuse the King James Version of mistranslation here. The KJV, ASV, etc. are not missing "God." It translates "theo" as "exceeding." This is a Hebraic expression. The Hebrew word for "God" is "Elohim," which has the root "El," which means "might" or "power." Even the YLT translates "El" as... "might" in Nehemiah 5:5. In English the word "God" just means "God," but in Hebrew "El" is a descriptive title. "Elohim," the Hebrew word for "God" is actually a title meaning "most powerful" (the Hebraic plural -im ending connotes magnitude rather than plurality). New Testament writers were influenced by Semitic style and idioms. Luke was no exception. Hebrews who read the Greek "theos" would have been had in mind the Hebrew connotation of the word, which means "power." "Beautiful to the El" would have carried the meaning of "powerfully beautiful" or "exceeding beautiful."		Some accuse the King James Version of mistranslation here.

Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionary says concerning "θεος":

Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with G3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very: - X exceeding, God, god [-ly, -ward].


	For example, the Hebrew word for God, "אלהים" is translated "exceeding(ly)" in Jonah 3:3 in many translations (e.g. KJV, NASB, ESV, NRSV, NKJV). The context in Jonah 3:3 is clear that Ninevah was an "exceedingly" large city ("of three day's journey"), not a city of God (the city was steeped in sin) or a city considered large by God (all man-made cities are minuscule in God's sight). The Septuagint, carrying Hebraisms over into Greek, translates this portion in Jonah 3:3 as "μεγαλη τω θεω" (Lit. "large to God"), which idiomatically means "exceedingly great/large." Likewise Luke, being familiar with Hebraisms, used a Hebraic expression in Acts 7:20 even though he was writing in Greek. Just as "τω θεω" in the Septuagint Greek text of Jonah 3:3 means "exceeding," "τω θεω" in the Hebraic Koine Greek text of Acts 7:20 also means "exceeding."
