Isaiah 9:6

For a child has been born to us,
a son has been given to us,
and the dominion (responsibility to rule)
rests (shall rest) on his shoulder (shoulders, back) [singular];
and his name [singular] is (shall be):
Wonderful,
Counselor (one who gives advice, guides, plans, and helps),
Mighty God (El Gibbor),
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
[In Hebrew, the word for name is singular. The name that follows consists of eight Hebrew words (pele joets el-gibbor avi-ad sar-shalom). The meaning could be formulated as follows: He who helps in a wonderful and miraculous way – our mighty God, eternal Father and Prince of Peace. The last six words form three compound pairs, while the first two (wonder and counselor) can either stand alone or form a unit. If you combine the meaning of wonder (which is a singular noun) and counselor (which in the Hebrew text is actually a verb), you get: wonder-counselor or extraordinary strategist! If you divide it into two words, there are a total of five components in the name, which consists of eight words in its entirety. The number eight represents a new beginning and the number five represents grace! The Hebrew word for prince (sar) comes from the verbs to fight and to reign as king, i.e. "a fighting prince/prince". Sarah, the feminine form of sar, can be translated as "a fighting princess". Here, the word for fighting prince is combined with shalom – peace, wholeness and perfect harmony in all areas of life. God is also likened on several occasions to a warrior, see Ps. 45:4–7. The name El Gibbor is found only here and in Isa. 10:21.]
