Bible Question: Translator notes in the NET Bible (www.bible.org) says that "the plural of majesty is not used with verbs". Any comments? |
Bible Answer: I'm not sure what you mean by "opinion" in NET Bible. To me opinion suggests that the translators read an article in Reader's Digest and then formed an "opinion." If the entire NET Bible is based only on "opinion" (and I don't think it is), then I wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. As it is, I find the NET Bible a very useful and unique study tool. Perhaps you did not mean it the way I took it. If that is the case, then "Never mind." :-) |
