1 | Does translator translate the older... | 2 Tim 2:15 | EdB | 112006 | ||
Kalos I'm not sure you want me to answer this but you know me. :-) I would certainly agree with NET Bibles attempt to provide a translation that presented the verse as the people to whom the original was written would understand it to be, if were possible. However Hebrew had stopped being spoken for so many years that we have lost the original meanings to many of the words. Therefore we do not know the exact meaning and therefore must look at other places (in some cases New Testament quotes) not to make the Old Testament line up with the New Testament but to understand what the original Hebrew was saying or how it was understood. Think about it the Net Bible in effect is suggesting that other translations rather than being accurate literal translations are in fact written as they are to harmonize the two Testaments. I think that is a pretty brash statement on their part. Personally this is one of the reasons I’m less than impressed with the Net Bible the other is their attempt to convince people their bonded leather cover on their hardcopy is better than genuine leather. Having owned many of both I can tell you without a doubt genuine leather will out last bonded hands down. EdB |
