Bible Question:
The literary style of the NASB and NKJ often confuses the reader about whether a word is to be regarded as Deity or not. A case in point is Psalm 106:33. Psalm 106:33, NASB, "Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips." See Amplified above, "For they provoked [Moses'] spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips." Psalm 106:33, NKJ, "Because they rebelled against His Spirit, So that he spoke rashly with his lips." My question, then, is did they rebell against His Spirit or Moses' spirit? Also,I would like a Hebrew scholar tell me why verses 29 and 32 need to insert an "understood" Him in italics. From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: My experience Bible translations has lead me to understand that the Amplified Bible and the Living Bible are not translations in the strict sense of the work. As I have learned, for well-intended reaons, these versions express the perspective of an individual paraphraser (vs. translator). The Living Bible, as I recall, was written for adolescents (actually I think for their child I think), making the Bible easier to read to get past the "thees and thous" and directly to what GOD's message is. Versions such as NIV, NASB and NKJ are translations in the strict sense of the word and do not carry the perspective of an individual but the detailed examination of the words, terms and grammatical elements by those considered to be experts in the field of translation and interpretation of the Deas Sea Scrolls and other accept ancient and bibilcal text. Not coincidenally, all of the aforementioned translation I mentioned agree on the definition of His Spirit while the Amplified has a different prespective. I hope this helps. |
