Bible Note: Hi, Good... I'll not render judgment, at this time, as to whether or not you ought to continue to participate in the forum. However, the Amplified version has some regularly used conventions. You can read about them here: http://www.lockman.org/amplified/ampprin.php (You might want to look, particularly, at the explanation of the use of brackets.) The site above is linked to from the following overview of the translation itself: http://www.lockman.org/amplified/ There's even a link there on translation principles. In Him, Doc PS I guess if I'm going to offer up the above, I might as well include the following: It has been the predominant teaching of twenty centuries of the church (and rabbinic teaching before and since), that Cain's wife was, indeed, an offspring of Adam and Eve. |
